Interoceanic Crossing – Cabo, Cartagena & Panama

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 16 nights from San Diego on February 13, 2027, visiting Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco and Puerto Quetzal, with additional stops along the Caribbean. Disembarkation is in Miami. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. Crossing 7 borders through the Caribbean: Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Cayman Islands and United States. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Star takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. Pro tip: fly in the day before. San Diego has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. You start in San Diego and come back with stories from Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Cayman Islands and United States.
