About This Cruise

The 16 Night Panama Canal from Miami to San Diego: Mexico & Costa Rica is a 16-night one-way itinerary aboard Norwegian Star. You board in Miami and disembark in San Diego, calling at 9 ports across 7 countries along the way.

In sequence the voyage takes in Florida (Miami), Colombia (Cartagena), Panama (Colon), Costa Rica (Puntarenas), Guatemala (Puerto Quetzal), Mexico (Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas) and 1 more.

As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Miami and home from San Diego, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 8 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
