Discover Why Norwegian To The Caribbean?

Freestyle Cruising

Go with the flow, we are the only cruise line offering Freestyle Cruising, so you have more choices about when and where to eat and spend your day.

Longer In Port

We arrive in port a little later and stay a little longer than other lines, so you can enjoy our nightlife and sleep a little longer on your holiday.

Eight Departure Ports

Set sail from eight incredible embarkation cities- Boston, Houston, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, San Juan, Tampa, and Miami - which are amazing destinations in themselves.

More Balcony Staterooms

Over half of our staterooms have balconies, so enjoy the cool breezes and awe-inspiring sunrises and sunsets of The Caribbean.

Book with confidence with the "Best Price. Guaranteed." program and ensure you pay the lowest price we offer. If you find a lower published price for the same cruise either on NCL.com or on a piece of communication directly from Norwegian, we will re-price your cruise at the lower price or you'll receive 110% of the difference in the form of an onboard credit.

Live Life To The Fullest

Unpack And Play

Better yet, drop off your bags, head up to the Aqua Park and whoosh down thrilling waterslides. Then get in a friendly game of basketball at the Sports Complex. Or find your own little retreat and catch up with your favourite book. Amazing days turn into dazzling evenings, so take in a Broadway show. Hit the slots. And dance the night away. There's something for everyone around every corner of our ships. So unpack when you want. You've got a whole ship to discover.

Nobody Does Dining Like Norwegian

That's because we invented Freestyle Dining in 2000, a revolutionary concept of no fixed dining times or pre-assigned seating and more dining choices than any other cruise line. And we do it better than anyone else by continuing to keep things fresh. From the fine products we use, to our handcrafted cooking process and enticing presentations, you can taste our passion on every plate. So enjoy a four-course meal and a great bottle of wine. Or grab a burger hot off the grill. Dress up. Dress down. Sit with your friends or make new ones. Dine inside or oceanside on The Waterfront. Only Norwegian offers incredible culinary experiences with this much freedom and flexibility on a fleet of ships specially built with restaurants from bow to stern.

Make Family Memories

Families play better together on Norwegian. From dodgeball to cupcake decorating, there are lots of activities all over our ships. Kids can learn to juggle at Circus School in Splash Academy, and teens have the coolest themed parties in Entourage - our complimentary youth programmes. So whether you're getting a gold medal in a family-fun challenge or dressing up as a pirate for our ship scavenger hunt, these are the moments you'll remember.

Live The Suite Life

Your good morning just got great. How could it not, when you're enjoying stunning views and ocean breezes from your private balcony? Or maybe you're living it up in luxury at the very top of our ships in The Haven by Norwegian. Choose from a wide range of accommodations including Spa Suites, Oceanview staterooms and our award-winning Studios. Plus, our Family Suites are a hop, skip and jump away from Splash Academy, our amazing youth area for kids. So kick off your flip-flops wherever you like and feel at home - at sea.

Norwegian Cruise Line Caribbean Cruises

Swaying palm trees, warm sandy beaches and tropical delights are just a few of the reasons to choose a Caribbean cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line.You can sail to the Eastern Caribbean and enjoy sun, sand, and water sports in St. Maarten and St. Thomas. You can go cave tubing in the caves of Belize City in the Western Caribbean. Or, you can immerse yourself in the exotic luxury that is the Southern Caribbean, kicking back and relaxing in St. Lucia, Barbados, or Dominica. Pick one of the Caribbean regions (Eastern, Western, Southern) for a more in-depth look at a Caribbean cruise with Norwegian.

Things to Do on a Caribbean Cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line

A Norwegian Cruise Line cruise to the Caribbean offers days spent in the sun tasting local flavors, experiencing nature through fishing or zip lining and learning about the cultures of the Caribbean. Featured below are some of our favorite things to do when cruising to the Caribbean with Norwegian Cruise Line:

• Falls of Dominica & Sulphur Springs (Roseau, Dominica) Focus on the springs and falls of Roseau in this exciting excursion. You’ll pass plantations and vibrant flowers on the way, before you arrive at the Twin Falls (and can even take a dip in the waters). Then you’ll arrive at the bubbling hot springs before heading to Trafalgar Falls for another waterfall experience.  

• Sky Safari Zipline (Basseterre, St. Kitts) Soar through the canopy as you feel the jungle breeze fly past your face and see the incredible views along the way. The experience is unparalleled, and afterwards you’ll be able to walk the ruins of Wingfield Estate and shop at Caribelle Batik before heading back to the ship.  

• Deep Sea Fishing (Castries, St. Lucia) Cruise off the coast of St. Lucia to a quiet spot where many fish congregate for a chance to reel in a dorado, yellow fin tuna or marlin on a deep sea fishing adventure. This is also a great spot to look out for dolphins and whales.  

• Flavors of Jamaica (Ochos Rios, Jamaica) Explore a beautiful Jamaican garden with herbs and tropical plants. These include Cat Whiskers and Plumbago. Then you’ll roll up your sleeves and make a full meal that features banana fritters, jerk shrimp and a coconut dish. You’ll also try some Blue Mountain coffee and get to eat the lunch you made.  

• Old Traditions of Martinique (Fort de France, Martinique) Watch as locals perform Bele, a traditional Martinique island dance and then get up and give it a try yourself. Afterwards you’ll visit the St. James Rum Distillery for some samples and to learn about sugar cane and how it has been processed and distilled in Martinique since 1765.  

• Miami City Tour and Shopping at Aventura Mall (Miami, Florida) Drive through neighborhoods of the rich and famous, like Rosie O’Donnell and Gloria Estefan, before visiting the art deco drag of South Beach. You’ll visit Coral Gables, the Biltmore Hotel and the University of Miami. Then get some goods at the Aventura Mall.
