Norwegian Sun: 12-Night Cruise from Miami - January 13, 2027

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 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. Seven Mile Beach is famous for its soft white sand and calm turquoise water.

The Norwegian Sun is a mid-sized ship, which means excursion options in Falmouth, Jamaica are plentiful.

With an early arrival in Cartagena, Colombia at 6:00 AM, your group has a real advantage - you'll be among the first off the ship, ahead of the crowds that build by mid-morning. Use this window to reach popular spots in Cartagena, Colombia before congestion sets in. Walking the old city is the essential Cartagena experience.

Arriving in Colon, Panama at 5:00 PM with only 3 hours hours before your 8:00 PM departure is a tight window.

Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. Seeing the canal in action is the highlight for many visitors.

Your ship arrives in Puerto Limon, Costa Rica at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.

With roughly 6 hours hours in Harvest Caye, Belize - arriving at 9:30 AM and departing at 3:30 PM - you'll want to be strategic.

You can step off the ship and immediately enjoy beach time, water activities, or casual dining.

Your cruise ends in Miami, Florida, where the Norwegian Sun is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM.

If you're flying out, book your flight at least four 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.
