Whether you are drawn to cultural discoveries and dramatic landscapes or prefer sun-soaked islands and tropical adventures, Norwegian Cruise Line offers itineraries that bring different parts of the world within reach.

Journey from Japan to Alaska with Norwegian Jade

Set sail on a 15-day journey aboard Norwegian Jade®, travelling from Tokyo (Yokohama) to Vancouver on a Pacific crossing that combines Japanese culture with the rugged beauty of Alaska.

In Japan, discover Sendai’s local delicacies and Hakodate’s fresh seafood, historic character and sweeping views from the ropeway. As the journey continues towards Alaska, the scenery shifts to dramatic mountain passes and wilderness landscapes.

In Skagway, ride vintage trains through mountain routes once travelled by gold-seekers. Then, explore Ketchikan, where Native Alaskan culture and towering hand-carved totem poles offer a glimpse into the region’s heritage.

With seven ports of call along the way, this itinerary brings together cultural experiences, scenic exploration and the opportunity to discover destinations across the Pacific.

Escape to the Caribbean aboard Norwegian Aqua

For a tropical change of pace, the 7-day Caribbean itinerary aboard Norwegian Aqua™ offers a round-trip journey from Orlando (Port Canaveral), combining island relaxation with plenty of opportunities for adventure.

On board, experience the innovative Aqua Slidecoaster before heading ashore to discover the Caribbean. At Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian’s private island, enjoy time by the water and a newly renovated island experience featuring a 2,600-square-metre heated pool.

In Jamaica, explore the famous Dunn’s River Falls, where cascading water flows over limestone terraces surrounded by rainforest. The journey also includes Cozumel, Mexico, known for its clear waters and world-class reefs.

With four ports of call and a mix of onboard attractions and island experiences, this itinerary offers a different way to enjoy a week in the Caribbean.
