AT SEA:
No schedules to keep, no ringing telephones to answer, no meals to cook! The Norwegian Sun was built specifically for Freestyle Cruising. So whether you want to rejuvenate at the Body Waves Spa, spend time with friends around the pool, or simply do nothing at all – feel free! Newly refurbished in 2011, you’ll find the Sun to be a perfect “home away from home.” Each day we are at sea, your tour director will offer a group devotional time. You’ll have a chance to fellowship with your traveling companions and ask any questions you may have.

CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA:
Located on Columbia’s northern coast, the old walled city of Cartagena reflects a turbulent history of conquistadors and pirates. Climb las murallas (the walls) for an unforgettable view of the harbor. You may want to shop for handcrafts or leather, or negotiate with store owners for emeralds (Columbia is the world’s largest emerald producer) along the cobblestone streets of this enchanting city.

TRANSIT PANAMA CANAL:
Experience one of the world’s best shortcuts! Did you know that the Panama Canal saves 7,872 miles from New York to San Francisco by averting passage around Cape Horn? The Panama Canal is a 51-mile ship canal that connects the Atlantic Ocean, through the Caribbean Sea, to the Pacific Ocean. It was first used on August 15, 1914, and remains one of the major engineering achievements of the modern world. Have your camera in hand to capture the experience as you pass through the amazing locks.
