Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 5 countries over 9 nights, beginning and ending in Tampa, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.
The pacing runs to 6 port days and 3 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise
The 9 Night Bahamas Round-trip Tampa: Great Stirrup Cay & Key West is a 9-night round-trip itinerary aboard Norwegian Gem. You board and return in Tampa, calling at 6 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Florida (Tampa, Key West), Bahamas (Great Stirrup Cay), Dominican Republic (Cabo Rojo), Jamaica (Falmouth), Grand Cayman (George Town) and Florida (Tampa).
Because it's round-trip from Tampa, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 3 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
