      About this trip

      Explore the Eastern Caribbean for seven days aboard the Norwegian Encore, roundtrip from Miami, and experience the private island Great Stirrup Cay, where you can sip a cold cocktail, eat fish tacos and work on your tan along the Atlantic’s edge. There are a plethora of watersports as well, and the newest shore excursion will take you on a short boat ride to swim with the famous Bahamian pigs.


      The picturesque island of St. Thomas. While the duty-free shopping is perhaps the best in the Caribbean, its striking blue water and beaches, like Magen’s Bay, are indescribably beautiful. Take the Skyride to Paradise Point for awe-inspiring views.


      Tortola is the largest of more than 50 British Virgin Islands and its velvety white sand is legendary. Drive through the capital of Road Town for a glimpse of its culture and charm or hit the beaches, especially The Baths, a geographic wonder of mammoth-sized granite boulders.


      Note: Itinerary, ports of call, or the order in which we visit the ports of call is subject to change determined by the Cruise line.

      OTHER INFORMATION

      TSA Requirements for Guests who are Flying

      TSA requirements mandate that for all guests who have purchased air, Norwegian must provide TSA with Full Names (as it appears on your passport) that include middle name (if applicable), Date of Birth, and Gender. Without this information, you can be denied boarding the aircraft.


      Domestic Airline Travel ID Requirements for U.S. Citizens: 

      Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, state-issued enhanced driver’s license, or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States. REAL IDs are marked by a star on the top of the card. Between now and the effective date of the new regulations, we encourage all travelers to check their IDs and obtain a REAL ID if they don’t already have one. To obtain a REAL ID requires documentation beyond what is required for most standard drivers' licenses. Prepare to collect and present several documents to DMV officials that prove residency and identification.


      Guests should take this into consideration when planning travels for their cruise.

      This was my second cruise with JW trips and this time I came as a solo traveler however, being with my spiritual brothers and sister on this 5 day cruise, I never felt alone. It was like a taste of paradise to come as we enjoyed our time together during breakfast, and dinner, having a mid-week meeting, sharing experiences, playing games, and dancing. Stalin, Vielka, Yara & Mauricio were not just our tour guides, they were truly our friends on this cruise. They went above and beyond to make our experience on this cruise an enjoyable and memorable one. Thank you again JW Trips for this wonderful time. Cherlyn Goodwin/Rosedale, Maryland

      Our first cruise loved the excursions Wonderful meeting new friends and having a meeting was great 👍

      Thank you, JW Trips, for a wonderful time on this cruise. It was very well organized and managed. The communication was on point, and I had a great time. The lanyards helped us to identify the fellow JW passengers which was a treat, especially to JW's who were not a part of the group to identify us and join us at the midweek meeting and the game day. I will definitely recommend JW Trips to other friends, and I will travel again with you as well. May Jehovah, our glorious Creator continue to bless your talents and your love. Thank you so much.

      I enjoyed traveling with the JW Trips group and meeting new friends. Mary did a great job helping me with my arrangements prior to the cruise. During the cruise Stalin, Vielka, Mauricio, and Yara worked hard to make sure we had a mid-week meeting and other spiritual wholesome activities. They also arranged for group pictures and group meals. I’m so grateful for their hard work! It made a huge impact on my overall enjoyment. Thank you JW Trips! I hope to join again in the future.
