Ocean Discovery – Kings Wharf, Norfolk & Philadelphia

About this cruise

This one leaves Philadelphia on April 20, 2028 and spends 7 nights visiting Kings Wharf and Norfolk at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 2 stops with a breather between each one. Pastel houses, moped-lined streets, and reef snorkelling within walking distance of the dock. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Gem, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
