OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

As visa and documentation requirements vary by country and are subject to change, all guests are urged to contact their travel professional, local immigration office, or the embassy or

consulate for each country they will visit on their cruise to verify current entry requirements. It is the guest's responsibility to obtain required visas and other documentation prior to sailing,

including vaccinations for infectious diseases.


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 includes 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 7, 2025, 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.

Day 4 - September 23 image

San Juan, Puerto Rico - 1:00 pm - 9:30 pm

 Puerto Rico’s 500-year-old capital is a history buff’s dream come true. The Spanish settled this harbor as a New World home base, and that influence is still evident, from the fortress walls lining the coastline to the rainbow of colonial buildings along narrow streets. Venture further out from the old town and nature unfolds. You can scale high into the jungled mountains of El Yunque Forest, or keep to the foothills on a riverside horseback ride. If despacito is more your speed, pick a pristine beach and recline with codfish fritter and rum drink in hand. San Juan cruises give you the perfect outpost to dial up or dial down your vacation

Day 5 - September 24

Day 5 - September 24 image

Charlotte, Amalie, St Thomas - 7:00 am - 2:30 pm

 Charlotte Amalie is one of the world’s most beautiful harbors; blue waters peppered with sailboats and green hills dotted with quaint little cottages make for post-card brags. Just outside the lively port town, you’ll find ribbons of powdery sand beaches dotted with hammocks. Cruise to St. Thomas and explore colonial landmarks like Blackbeard’s Castle or raise a pint of the local lager at quaint microbreweries. And when it’s time to fuel up, you’ll find plenty of beachside bars serving conch fritters, johnnycakes, and coconut patties. St. Thomas may technically be part of the U.S., but with its colorful markets, unspoiled beaches, and the ever-present sound of steel drums, you’ll feel a world away.

Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bahamas 8:30 am - 5:00 pm

This isn’t vacation days spent. This is bragging rights earned. Conquer the tallest waterslide in North America and snap a shot from up to 450 feet up in a helium balloon. Grab a drink at the swim-up bar and soak up the scene in the largest freshwater pool in The Bahamas. Or get a taste of Bora Bora with your own Overwater Cabana. 

Day 8 - September 27

Disembark to Miami - 6:00 am Arrival

 Miami moves to its own rhythm— from the sun-drenched beaches to a diverse blend of cultures. Indulge in the glitzy chic of Miami Beach and explore Little Havana’s deep-rooted Cuban heritage. Unwind on Key Biscayne’s serene shorelines, pedal along Ocean Drive, or paddle a kayak through Oleta River State Park’s winding mangrove channels. Head to Coconut Grove to take in the bohemian vibe. Tour the Vizcaya estate’s Renaissance-inspired gardens. Miami cruises allow guests to check out the Perez Art Museum’s contemporary collections. Adventure shines bright in The Magic City, whether deep-sea fishing, Art Deco architecture, world-class cuisine, or endless nightlife. 


Or you may take a taxi or Uber back to Miami International Airport or Fort Lauderdale International Airport to go back home.
