Miami/Fort Lauderdale

Norwegian Pearl Cruise

With an average high of 75 degrees Fahrenheit in January, day 2 of the cruise brings you to Key West. Located at the southernmost tip of the United States, this cool little island hideaway is closer to Havana, Cuba, than it is to Miami. Visit two of Key West's best attractions, the Key West Shipwreck Treasures Museum and the Key West Aquarium. Have lunch amongst the island's infamous roosters at Blue Heaven, then visit Hemingway House and the Key West Lighthouse. Ride the Conch Tour Train to discover hidden gems and the island's history. 

On day 3 of the cruise, you have a whole day visit to Great Stirrup Cay, the idyllic island paradise reserved just for Norwegian guests. Stroll along soft, white-sand beaches and enjoy the many activities we have to offer. Snorkel and see underwater delights, kayak in crystal-clear water, do some parasailing if you wish or get revved up on a WaveRunner® adventure. Grab a bite at their new 8,500 square foot beach buffet or simply relax on the beach with a freshly muddled mojito in hand.

And on day 4 of the cruise, the destination is Freeport, the main city of Grand Bahama which has national parks and beautiful beaches. The Lucaya district offers good shopping and dining.
