Creole to Skyline – Willemstad & Oranjestad

About this cruise

A 12-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves New Orleans on April 16, 2028 and visits Ocho Rios, Willemstad, Oranjestad, Cabo Rojo-Pedernales, Great Stirrup Cay and New York. Disembarkation is in New York. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. The Caribbean route takes in Jamaica, Netherlands, Dominican Republic, Bahamas and United States, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Ocho Rios, Waterfalls tumbling into the Caribbean. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Getaway keeps you well fed. 18 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in New Orleans before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
