The Norwegian Jade recently sailed from the port of Callao in Peru for a 17-night cruise to South and Central America.

Sailing to San Diego, the unique itinerary features visits to additional destinations in Peru, as well as Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico.

The cruise is highlighted by visits to less usual cruise ports in the region, such as Acajutla, Puerto Quetzal, Huatulco and Acapulco.

Other destinations set to be visited by the 2006-built ship include Salaverry, Manta, Panama City, Puntarenas, Manzanillo, Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas.

Upon arriving in Southern California in late March, the Norwegian Jade will briefly resume its itineraries to the Mexican Riviera before repositioning to Vancouver.

In late April, the ship arrives in Canada for a series of open-jaw cruises to Alaska and British Columbia.

Sailing between Whittier and Vancouver, the seven-night itineraries are highlighted by visits to Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Skagway and Juneau.

As part of its 2025-26 schedule, the Norwegian Jade also offered a 17-night cruise that sailed between San Diego and Peru.

The sailing took place in early March and included stops at 11 destinations across Central and South America.

Following the two cruises, Norwegian is scheduled to return to South America for a full season during the 2027-28 winter.

Marking the end of a three-year hiatus, the 2001-built ship will offer a series of cruises departing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and San Antonio, Chile.

Sailing between December 2027 and March 2028, the itineraries are highlighted by visits to destinations in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, as well as scenic cruising in Antarctica.

Norwegian last operated a full season in South America in 2024-25, with the Norwegian Star offering itineraries to Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, and Antarctica.

The company planned additional winter deployments in the region but ultimately decided to cancel them in favor of itineraries to the Caribbean and the Bahamas.
