Norwegian Gem: 16-Night Cruise from Barcelona - October 24, 2027

With 14 hours hours in Cadiz (Seville), Spain - from 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. History is layered into daily life, from ancient watchtowers to baroque cathedrals.

The Norwegian Gem will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Casablanca, Morocco. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The Hassan II Mosque is one of the largest religious buildings in the world and a defining symbol of Casablanca.

With a late arrival in Agadir, Morocco at 11:00 AM, your time ashore is more limited - but many morning passengers will already be heading back, so popular spots may be less crowded. Focus on attractions closest to the port. Cruise ships dock at the Port of Agadir, which is located close to the city center and main beachfront areas.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. This saltwater lagoon sits at the heart of Arrecife, surrounded by white houses, small boats, and cafés.

The Norwegian Gem will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The striking Auditorio de Tenerife, designed by Santiago Calatrava, is an architectural icon.

With 7 hours hours in Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal and the Norwegian Gem carrying over 2,000 passengers, time and transportation will be tight. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the best move - priority disembarkation and a guaranteed return to the ship. Don't leave this to chance. Cruise ships dock at Ponta Delgada's port, within walking distance of the historic city center.

Your cruise ends in Miami, Florida, where the Norwegian Gem is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Food lovers can explore Latin American cuisine, while sun seekers enjoy miles of sandy shoreline and turquoise waters.
