Sail Away – Freeport & Nassau

About this cruise

It's the kind of trip that's easy to say yes to. 5 nights from Jacksonville on February 28, 2026, visiting Freeport, Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Norwegian Gem. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 5-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
