The Norwegian Cruise Line has confirmed the return of the Norwegian Jewel. The Norwegian Jewel will be the first ship from the company to sail from Panama City.
The fully renovated Jewel becomes the thirteenth vessel from the 17-ship fleet to return to service and will be offering itineraries and bookings to Alaska starting from May through to September. It will homeport in Panama starting from the 24th of November. The November voyages will mark the first-time homeporting in the destination from either port – the Colón Cruise Terminal and Fuerte Amador Cruise Terminal in Panama City.
The November voyages will consist of a 12-day adventure sailing up the South American coast, visiting nine remarkable ports, and launching from the historic city of Panama City (Colón), Panama.
“Norwegian Jewel’s first sail is not just another major milestone in our great cruise comeback but it’s the sign of a bright future as we will seasonally homeport from incredible Panama in November,” said Norwegian Cruise chief executive, Harry Sommer. “With Norwegian Jewel’s diverse itineraries spanning voyages from Alaska to the Caribbean, guests will be able to see the world in one of our award-winning ships.”
Through the end of March next year, Norwegian Jewel will offer a total of eight Panama Canal roundtrip cruises ranging from eight-to-ten-day itineraries starting from Colón, the Caribbean side of Panama, and ending in Panama City (Fuerte Amador), the Pacific side of Panama, and vice versa.
