Panama Canal Adventure – Cabo, Cartagena & Ocho Rios

About this cruise

If you've got 17 nights to work with, this sailing from Los Angeles on September 30, 2027 through Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco and Puerto Quetzal, with additional stops along the Caribbean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. Disembarkation is in Miami. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. 8 countries (Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Jamaica, Cayman Islands and United States) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala's Pacific gateway to Mayan wonders. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Joy. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
