How we source these figures: CabinSaver tracks published Norwegian Cruise Line fares daily and has recorded 364 pricing snapshots for these sailings between 2025-09-16 and 2026-09-14.

The Caribbean is the backbone of Norwegian Cruise Line's 2027 calendar, and it is the one region where the departure port shapes the trip as much as the ship does. A 5-night loop from Port Canaveral, a 7-night island run from Puerto Rico and a 12-night round-trip from Manhattan are all Caribbean cruises, but they suit very different calendars, trip lengths and travelers.

2027 Caribbean Season at a Glance
Two ships carry the largest share of Norwegian's 2027 Caribbean program. Norwegian Aqua runs 52 sailings, 16 from Miami between January and April and 36 from Port Canaveral from April through December, almost all of them 7 nights. Norwegian Escape follows with 50: 42 from Port Canaveral between January and October on a mix of 5- and 7-night itineraries, then eight Galveston departures in November and December. Norwegian Aura works Miami from June through December with 29 sailings, and Norwegian Viva splits 29 sailings across Galveston, Miami and San Juan.
The calendar follows a classic winter-heavy rhythm. January opens with 57 departures, February and March add 46 and 52, and April drops to 19 as the seasonal ports close. From May through September the schedule narrows to 11 to 14 sailings a month, almost entirely from Port Canaveral and Miami, before October (19), November (47) and December (51) rebuild the winter fleet. Tampa runs January through April only on Norwegian Dawn and Norwegian Gem, while New Orleans and Galveston swap ships between the spring and late-year seasons.
A handful of one-off voyages sit at the edges of the program: Norwegian Bliss's 19-night Panama Canal sailing from New York to San Francisco on April 9, Norwegian Breakaway's 14-night New Orleans-to-Boston repositioning on April 4, Norwegian Joy's 17-night Panama Canal crossing from Los Angeles to Miami on September 30, and Norwegian Viva's November 1 transatlantic from Lisbon, which Norwegian lists both as a 13-night sailing to San Juan and a 14-night sailing to Miami.
Western vs Eastern vs Southern Caribbean vs Bahamas
Here is how Norwegian Cruise Line's 2027 Caribbean sailings compare by sub-region, with Norwegian's separate 2027 Bahamas program alongside and inside cabin fares for solo travelers at single occupancy as of September 2026 (subject to change). Sub-regions are defined by port of call, so a sailing that calls in both the Eastern and Southern Caribbean counts in both rows, and 54 Caribbean sailings that call at none of these ports (mostly Puerto Plata and Great Stirrup Cay routings) appear in no sub-region row.
| Sub-region | Norwegian sailings | Typical length | Main departure ports | Ships | Months sailed | Typical solo inside fare per night (approx., as of September 2026, subject to change) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Western Caribbean (Cozumel, Roatan, Harvest Caye, Costa Maya) | 153 | 7 nights (121 sailings) or 5 nights (27) | Port Canaveral, Miami, Galveston, New Orleans, Tampa | 13 | Jan-Dec | Approx. $186-241 |
| Eastern Caribbean (St. Thomas, Tortola, St. Maarten, San Juan) | 131 | 7 nights (102 sailings), plus 6 to 14 nights | Miami, Port Canaveral, San Juan, Philadelphia, New York | 12 | Jan-Dec | Approx. $214-328 |
| Southern Caribbean (Aruba, Curacao, Barbados) | 42 | 7 nights (26 sailings) or 10 nights (10) | San Juan, Miami, Tampa | 6 | Jan-Apr, Nov-Dec | Approx. $240-344 |
| Bahamas (separate Norwegian destination) | 208 | 3 or 4 nights (152 sailings) | Miami, Port Canaveral, Jacksonville | 12 | Jan-Dec | Approx. $150-214 |
The Western Caribbean is Norwegian's volume route in 2027 and the lowest-priced of the three Caribbean sub-regions: every one of its 153 sailings calls at Cozumel, and the Gulf Coast ports run it almost exclusively. The Eastern Caribbean skews toward newer ships, with Norwegian Aqua (29 sailings), Norwegian Prima (21) and Norwegian Aura (19) carrying the most departures. The Southern Caribbean is the smallest and highest-priced group, a winter-only product built largely on Norwegian Prima's San Juan season, which accounts for 20 of its 42 sailings. The Bahamas sits apart as Norwegian's short-cruise market, with 152 of its 208 departures running 3 or 4 nights.
Why Choose the Caribbean in 2027?
Departure-port variety is the real advantage of a 2027 Caribbean cruise. Norwegian's Caribbean program leaves from nine US ports: four in Florida (Port Canaveral, Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville), two on the Gulf Coast (New Orleans and Galveston), two in the Northeast (Philadelphia and New York) and San Juan in Puerto Rico. For much of the eastern half of the country that means a drive to the pier, and 348 of the 355 sailings are round-trips that return to the port they left from.
The itinerary mix is equally broad. Norwegian's private island at Great Stirrup Cay appears on 216 of the 355 Caribbean sailings, and its Belize destination at Harvest Caye on 85. Western routes pair those with Cozumel, Roatan and Costa Maya; eastern routes favor Puerto Plata, St. Thomas and Tortola; and the San Juan sailings reach Aruba, Curacao, Barbados and St. Lucia, ports that are difficult to fit into a 7-night cruise from Florida.
Weather is warm year-round, though winter and early spring generally bring the driest, most settled conditions. The Atlantic hurricane season formally runs June 1 to November 30, which overlaps Norwegian's quieter summer schedule, and cruise lines typically adjust ports rather than cancel when storms threaten. Compare current prices on all Caribbean cruises to see how those seasons show up in fares.

Planning Tips
- Pick the departure port before the ship. Only Port Canaveral and Miami have Norwegian Caribbean sailings in every month of 2027. If your dates fall between May and October, those two ports are effectively your options.
- Choose your side of the Caribbean deliberately. Western routes emphasize Mexican and Central American ports, eastern routes lean toward the Virgin Islands and Puerto Plata, and the southern routes from San Juan reach the ABC islands and Barbados on a 7-night schedule.
- Plan winter trips around the holidays. Presidents' Day, spring break, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's weeks typically book ahead of the surrounding dates, especially in balcony categories and above.
- Keep hurricane season in mind for summer and fall sailings. Itineraries between June and November can change ports at short notice. Review travel protection terms with your cruise line and insurer before booking.
- Check the exact port sequence for your sail date. Norwegian runs several variations of the same route from the same port, so confirm which islands your specific departure visits before planning shore time.
- Verify documentation early. A valid passport book is typically recommended for cruise travel, and requirements vary by itinerary and citizenship. Always confirm current documentation requirements with Norwegian Cruise Line and official government sources before your trip.
How to Find the Best Deals on Caribbean Cruises

- Compare departure ports for the same week - Inside fares from New Orleans and Galveston typically ran approximately $157-214 per night against approximately $303-357 from San Juan, on the same basis (subject to change, as of September 2026)
