The ship will sail down the West Coast to San Francisco and Los Angeles; Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Mexico; Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala; Panama City, Panama; Cartagena, Colombia; George Town, Grand Cayman and ending her voyage in Miami.
To celebrate the new itineraries, NCL is offering the second guest in a stateroom the opportunity to sail free. The deal provides travelers a total value of up to $3,450 in savings when combined with the cruise line's Free At Sea offer.
"It's a way to reconnect with the world around them, and with our promotion, we make it easy," Sommer continued.
