Panama Canal Quest – Cartagena & Balboa

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 15-night sailing leaves San Diego on February 12, 2026 and visits Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco and Puerto Quetzal, with additional stops along the Mexican Riviera & Central America. The trip wraps in Miami, so you won't retrace your steps. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in San Diego, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. It's a proper Mexican Riviera & Central America tour: 6 countries, from Mexico to United States. Keep an eye out for Acapulco: Cliff divers and golden-age glamour. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Jade has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. That's 15 nights well spent.
