About This Cruise

The 16 Night Panama Canal from San Diego to Miami: Mexico & Colombia is a 16-night one-way itinerary aboard Norwegian Star. You board in San Diego and disembark in Miami, calling at 9 ports across 8 countries along the way.

In sequence the voyage takes in California (San Diego), Mexico (Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco), Guatemala (Puerto Quetzal), Costa Rica (Puntarenas), Panama (Panama City), Colombia (Cartagena) and 2 more.

As a one-way sailing you'll fly into San Diego and home from Miami, 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.
