Tropical & Transit – Grand Cayman, Cartagena & Panama

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 12 nights from Miami on January 13, 2027, visiting Grand Cayman Island, Falmouth Jamaica and Cartagena, with additional stops along the Caribbean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 7 borders through the Caribbean: Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Belize and Mexico. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Sun takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Miami has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. You start in Miami and come back with stories from Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Belize and Mexico.
