Panama Canal Passage – Grand Cayman & Cartagena

About this cruise

11 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Miami on March 15, 2026 and the route takes you through Grand Cayman Island, Cartagena and Colon, with additional stops along the Caribbean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Caribbean route takes in Cayman Islands, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Belize and Mexico, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Colon, Where the canal connects two oceans. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Jewel keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Miami before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
