Cruises to the Bahamas are great as Norwegian offers short weekend escapes if you don't have a lot of time for a summer vacation. Enjoy Great Stirrup Cay, which is reserved for Norwegian Cruise Line guests only. You can relax on the pristine beaches, go kayaking, rent a WaveRunner, do some snorkeling, and so much more. If you want the ultimate in relaxation, rent a private cabana or luxury villa for the day. Depending on the cruise you choose, you might also stop at Grand Bahama Island, where you have a chance to swim with the iconic Bahamian pigs.

2022 Summer Cruises to Alaska

Norwegian offers a large selection of cruises to Alaska in 2022. Depending on the amount of time you have available, you can escape for a quick five-day Alaska cruise or experience an Alaska Cruisetour, which combines a week-long cruise vacation with several days on land before or after your cruise.

Depending on the sailing you choose, you could visit one or more of these Alaska cruise ports:

• Sitka: Enjoy ample wildlife spotting opportunities in Sitka, where you might see whales, deer, brown bears, various birds, and sea otters.
• Hubbard Glacier: Cruise along Hubbard Glacier, the largest glacier in North America.
• Skagway: Skagway was once home to around 20,000 gold seekers during the height of the gold rush. Come experience what Skagway was like in its prime.

• Icy Strait Point: If you're looking for remote and natural, Icy Strait Point is where to be. Here, the wildlife outnumbers humans.
• Ketchikan: Your best chance at seeing a bald eagle with your own eyes will likely happen here. Ketchikan's name in Tlinglit Indian is KachKhanna, which means "spread wings of eagle."

Summertime is also a great time to cruise the Mediterranean. Norwegian offers multiple itineraries to popular destinations in the Mediterranean, including the Greek Isles, Italy, Croatia, and Montenegro.

2022 Summer Cruises to Hawaii

Norwegian offers the only cruise that sails to four Hawaiian islands in seven days all year long. Our Hawaii cruise has been voted the best Hawaii itinerary for 15 years by Porthole Cruise Magazine.
