Mangrove & Transit – Cartagena & Colon

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night round-trip sailing from Miami on November 9, 2027 visits Great Stirrup Cay, Cartagena, Panama Canal, Colon, Puerto Limon and Montego Bay. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Jamaica, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Great Stirrup Cay alone is worth the trip, A private Bahamian escape. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. Norwegian Gem keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 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. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Miami before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
