Reykjavik | Sunday, Aug 25, 2024 | Sunday, Aug 25, 2024 |
The fire, frost and water symbolized by the red, white and blue of Iceland’s flag are manifested in this land. Reykjavik, or Smoky Bay, was so named in 874 A.D. by Ingolf Arnarson when he sighted the numerous hot springs on the Seltjarnarnes Peninsula. Today this remarkably pollution-free city is wrapped around a sweeping bay and has managed to retain its charming Old-World atmosphere. A pastiche of red-blue-and green-roofed houses together with the tall gray tower of Hallgrim’s Church dominate the skyline. In Old Town, many of the wooden buildings have been lovingly restored and stand side by side with modern timber and concrete structures. There are fine museums and art galleries; historic pubs present activity in late afternoon. The beautiful countryside outside of Reykjavik includes such natural wonders as volcanoes, geysers, glaciers, mountains and spectacular waterfalls. | ||
Djupivogur | Monday, Aug 26, 2024 | Monday, Aug 26, 2024 |
This village at the head of the bay Berufiord developed around an important trading post in the past. In 1589 the German Hansa merchants were granted a trading license there by the Danish king. Later on the Danish introduced the trade monopoly and took over themselves. The oldest houses (1788-1818) date back to the Danish period. One of them, Langabud (1790), has been renovated and transformed into a nice restaurant and museums. Fishing, fish processing and commerce are the main trades. The scenic beauty of the surroundings is renowned and visitors are treated well in every respect. | ||
Akureyri | Tuesday, Aug 27, 2024 | Tuesday, Aug 27, 2024 |
Akureyri is one of Iceland's oldest towns, and features picturesque historic houses set below snowcapped peaks, botanical gardens and several museums. Explore the interior to see Godafoss Waterfall and Lake Myvatn. It is the largest settlement outside the south-west of Iceland, and one of the country's largest cities. The name means "Meadow Sandspit" in Icelandic. Akureyri is an important shipyard and fishing port, as well as a commercial and distributing centre for agriculture and manufacturing. | ||
Isafjord | Wednesday, Aug 28, 2024 | Wednesday, Aug 28, 2024 |
The town of Isafjord is a bona fide hive of industry. This busy fishing port runs to sizable shipyards as well as shrimp and fish factories— all ready to handle the catch of the day from the icy waters of the Denmark Strait. Recreational activities around here include hiking, kayaking, and of course, fishing. | ||

St. John's, Newfoundland | Sunday, Sep 01, 2024 | Sunday, Sep 01, 2024 |
St. John's, a classic harbor city, is capital of Newfoundland. Old accents and customs are common, yet Saint John is still modern. The city recently celebrated its 500th anniversary as a modern city with preserved heritage and culture. It offers old world charm, unique architectural and historic landmarks, fine cuisine and many other attractions. Historic downtown features unique sites, such as Cabot Tower on Signal Hill overlooking the harbor and the city. The famous friendliness, hospitality and charm of the people of Saint John, plus the Newfoundland folk music found in many of the lively waterfront bars, ensure a perfect visit. A 3 mile Rennies River Trail cuts through the city along a wooded stream and ends at the only public fluvarium in North America, where in late October/early November one can observe spawning brown and brook trout in their natural habitat through underwater windows. The Bowring Victorian park was donated by the wealthy Bowring family in 1911, and resembles the parks of London after which is was modeled. | ||
St. Pierre and Miquelon, NF | Monday, Sep 02, 2024 | Monday, Sep 02, 2024 |
St Pierre is the southernmost island of the territory of St Pierre and Miquelon situated in the North Atlantic Ocean south of the coast of Newfoundland. It is a French protectorate consisting of two small groups of islands principally St Pierre, Miquelon, and Langlade. The islands are mostly barren and rocky but are important for cod-fishing. | ||
Sydney (Nova Scotia) | Tuesday, Sep 03, 2024 | Tuesday, Sep 03, 2024 |
Sydney is located on Cape Breton Island on the east side of the Sydney River. Sydney has a strong ethnic population. As the only significantly industrialized district in Atlantic Canada, Sydney is the heart of Nova Scotia’s second-largest urban cluster. The city’s central business district impresses with the variety of products and services offered by downtown merchants. The town has become an important gateway to the scenic and historic attractions of Cape Breton Highlands and for cruising on the Bras d’Or Lakes. On the city outskirts is Fortress Louisbourg National Park, presenting Canada’s largest historical reconstruction. Here visitors can enjoy a town perfectly restored to its 1740 appearance. A walk on the half-mile Boardwalk promenade in the heart of downtown provides a panoramic view of the harbor. Apart from Louisbourg Fortress, the town also features a railway museum at the Sydney and Louisbourg Historical Society and the Atlantic Statiquarium, a marine museum devoted largely to underwater treasure. | ||

The history and bricklaid beauty of Boston is easy to enjoy. Follow the Freedom Trail past Old North Church, Paul Revere Park, Fanieul Hall, the Commons, Old Ironsides and more landmarks of America's birth. Across the Charles River is Cambridge and Harvard. Venture to Marblehead and Salem to the south, or Lexington and Concord to the north. Back in town, have clam chowder at the warf or great Italian food in North End. |

Public Areas

Norwegian will make every effort to accommodate pregnant guest, providing they have not entered the 24th week of pregnancy when the cruise ends. Prior to their cruise pregnant guests should include their cruise details in an email to the Access Desk (accessdesk@ncl.com) with a medical certificate establishing due date.
Public areas throughout all NCL ships are smoke-free. Guests who smoke regular or electronic cigarettes may do so on their balcony, in the casino, or in the Cigar Bar. Guests who prefer pipes or cigars may smoke them in the Cigar Bar or designated smoking lounge. Cigarettes, pipes, and cigars are allowed outside on open decks, with the exception of food venues, sports decks, kids’ pool areas and other designated nonsmoking areas). Smoking inside any suite or stateroom is prohibited, and will result in a $250 cleaning charge added to guest's onboard account.
Guests with food allergies should contact NCL's Access Desk to discuss NCL's policies and procedures concerning special diets and specific allergies prior to their cruise. Because the vessels are supplied all over the world, it may be easier to meet specific food allergy requirements in some countries, but very difficult in others. NCL can arrange to have no sugar and low sodium meals for guests with those specific medical dietary restrictions upon request. Refrigerators are available in many staterooms for storing insulin.
NCL aims to provide a safe and accessible cruise experience for all guests with special requirements to the extent that is feasible. Guests or their travel agents must contact the Access Desk and provide a Special Accommodation Requirements Information Form in advance of their cruise. Access Desk coordinators need at least 90 days for interpreters and 60 days for all other requirements. Pre-arranging for special assistance helps travel proceed more smoothly. Assistance is arranged for at the time of booking upon identification of the guest's specific service request through the dedicated toll free Access Desk number (1-866-584-9756)
In limited situations (either on board or ashore), NCL may find it necessary to ask guests to make alternative travel arrangements, such as if a disabled guest is unable to satisfy certain specified safety and other criteria, even when provided with appropriate auxiliary aids and services. Guests who are unable to care for their basic needs (e.g. dressing, eating, and attending safety drills) MUST have a capable traveling companion. It is essential that NCL be notified of any special medical, physical, or other requirement guests may have as soon as possible, including whether the guest intends to bring a scooter with them.
Guests with Mobility Impairments
A wheelchair, scooter, or walker may be the primary mobility assistance aid for getting on and off the ship for guests who cannot walk on their own. Norwegian Cruise Line has a limited supply of wheelchairs onboard.

If a guest will require regular use of a wheelchair, it is strongly recommended that they bring their own. Guests may also make rental arrangements onboard from a limited supply of rental wheelchairs which are available onboard on a first come, first serve basis.
Motorized wheelchairs and scooters are allowed in accessible staterooms provided that they are powered by gel-cell batteries and the chargers must be adaptable to 110 volts. Should a guest choose a stateroom that has not been designated as accessible, they will need to bring a collapsible wheelchair. If the guest has a motorized wheelchair or scooter, the width must not exceed 21 inches to enter the stateroom door. All scooters and wheelchairs MUST be stored in the stateroom. Due to the safety requirements and regulations, they cannot be stored in the hallways, stairways, or any other public area. Beach wheelchairs can be rented for use on Norwegian Cruise Line's private island.

Submit Your Own Review!Embankment was quick, staff always very helpful and pleasant.

Small ship, reduced passenger count,
Pros: Small ship, reduced passenger count,
Cons: Entertainment options limited, getting around a little difficult
Review: Hard getting to main dining room. Had to go to Deck 7, then aft, then to 6ps. . Had seen entertainment on other ships. Key West port eliminated and that was the reason we booked this cruise. Food was mediocre, steering passengers toward upcharge specialty restaurants.
Very clean ship and nice staff
Pros: Very clean ship and nice staff
Cons: Not enough time at some of the stops
Review: We really enjoyed the cruise overall. Some stops had short stats and the time to get off and back to the ship only allowed for a few hours on two of the beautiful islands.
open dining, great excursions, helpful staff, comfortable stateroom, interesting itinerary
Pros: open dining, great excursions, helpful staff, comfortable stateroom, interesting itinerary
Cons: couldn't hear announcements in the room; $20/day/person service charge was not expected. Wifi was a hassel but the man in the internet cafe was really great
Review: I got sick (gastroenteritis) and the clinic was great. Free room service while I recovered. Some guides on the buses were hard to hear or understand. Loved the excursions to game reserves! Loved the specialty restaurants. Comfy bed
Wonderful Staff, exceptional service, good music

Cons: Not necessarily a con, but I would have liked better entertainment shows at night. They were fine, but nothing I would seek out in

Pros: Mary at the guest service, Valorie at grand pacific,Shyrine and Wismayna at La Bistro
Cons: These team members went beyond excellent care
Review: I cruise very often and I had heard bad things about crew members not being friendly. The great surprise was that the stories were not true and we found every crew member to be friendly and helpful It was a pleasure to sail on the Jade last week. Wish list: Food could be a theme sometimes. We went to Greece but didn’t have any Greek food on the ship. The cabin was always well taken care of, but I only saw our cabin guy twice.My gratuity was included, but I would have left money if I knew the cabin attendant. We were given instruction to bring photo ID when going ashore, Nobody asked for it.,it was a waste of time, I didn’t know there was a fee to get money exchanged. I would .have done it differently had I known. Poor communication We went to a bar and got excellent drinks. Went back the next day and got poor drinks at the same bar. This happened several times. There was no consistency Disappointing!
Staff was friendly, accommodating, engaging, professional
Pros: Staff was friendly, accommodating, engaging, professional
Cons: internet service in rooms was unacceptable. the only place I could get internet was in the internet cafe.
Review:
Wonderfully kind and attentive staff!
Pros: Wonderfully kind and attentive staff!
Cons: No Cons
Review: This was my second voyage on the Jade and my first in Europe! It was a very pleasant experience both times, but this trip was indeed magical waking up to a different and beautiful port each morning! The personnel on this ship are exceptional-from our cabin stewards to the officers! They truly make the journey memorable! The food was delicious in every venue and the entertainment extraordinary! I highly recommend travel on the Jade!
Coffee in cabin is a nice touch for mornings.
Pros: Coffee in cabin is a nice touch for mornings.
Cons: See comments;
Review: A pen/pencil and note paper in cabin, Light blanket for afternoon naps, Beverage package should include water, soda & coffee and tea at all stations, Daily 'Freestyle' should include map of upcoming port, A small map of ship to carry, Complimentary post card of ship, Available transportation in upcoming ports. Coffee/Tea in cabin is a nice touch.
Excellent Staff. Recent refurbishment of ship great! Food quite good.
Pros: Excellent Staff. Recent refurbishment of ship great! Food quite good.
Cons: Cabin Make-ups slow. Few non-sales type activities.
Review: Staff excellent: Well trained, very responsive, very friendly and well groomed. Recent refurbishment of ship great. Public areas bountiful and comfortable. Food kicked up a couple of notches..quite good even in open dining rooms. Cafe redesigned with various food islands making access easy. Food good. NCL continues to lead industry in, "nickel and diming" you. Few activities where you are not being SOLD to, especially due at sea days. Cabin make ups slow (but acceptable) due to NCL reducing cabin attendant staff. NCL claimed they had no bar snacks (like peanuts) to put out...when we could clearly see them behind the bars. Had to complain to Sr. Bar Officer to get them! Drinks good.
Great itinerary
Pros: Great itinerary
Cons: Limited on board entertainment

Pros: Great & helpful staff, aft-facing penthouse suite was wonderful, shows were fun, great specialty restaurants
Cons: Rainy season for southern ports of Western Caribbean
Review: Guatemala should be excluded from the itinerary...dirty, poor with little to see No where to walk in relative safety Bay and rivers filled with plastic bottles. etc....environmental nightmare
Meals and accomadations are amazing
Pros: Meals and accomadations are amazing
Cons: Over charging for Soda and Water
Review: We loved this cruise. It was so fun and very luxurious. We loved the entertainment it was incredible. Also the food and rooms were great. We also enjoyed how friendly the staff is. The only complaint I have is that their billing system is unclear. They offered us free wifi as a perk for booking early but charged us for it because it was for my husband even though we had the same account. The most frustrating part is that they didn't tell us. One last thing it's kind of greedy how they charge each account per person when all charges come from same account.
Had a wonderful time
Pros: Had a wonderful time
Cons: wish they would of had more for 14-17 teens
Review:
