Jewel of the Caribbean Voyage – Bahamas, Aruba & Jamaica

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 10-night sailing from Miami on January 3, 2028 visits Great Stirrup Cay, Cabo Rojo-Pedernales, Oranjestad, Willemstad, Falmouth Jamaica and Grand Cayman Island. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 6 countries along the Caribbean coast: Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Curaçao, Jamaica and Cayman Islands. People come back from this cruise talking about Great Stirrup Cay: A private Bahamian escape. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Jewel, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 10 nights. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Miami itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. 6 ports, 6 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
