18 Night Panama Canal Repositioning Cruise aboard the Norwegian Joy

Prepare yourself for eighteen nights of leisurely cruising across the sea when you join the Norwegian Joy from San Francisco to Miami.

This sailing is particularly exciting because you'll only spend time at extremely rare stops like Acapulco, Puerto Caldera, and Puerto Quetzal. This route is an interesting one for the Joy. As a matter of fact, it sails it just once.

This is the total you pay, no sneaky extra fees. At less than $90 a day, this represents an incredible value. This price just dropped, so book quickly to reserve your stateroom before the price moves upwards again!
