Norwegian Gem Comes to Jacksonville — Your Easy, Happy Guide

What’s happening (and why it’s big for families)

A brand-new cruise choice just arrived in our city. Norwegian Cruise Line is now sailing from the Port of Jacksonville for the first time, with the Norwegian Gem making Jacksonville its seasonal home. That means more fun trips to sunny places, more sail dates to choose from, and less hassle getting to your ship. Think of it like this: a big friendly ship parked right in our backyard, ready to take you to warm beaches and blue water. For families and groups, this is a big win because it’s close, simple, and easy to plan around school breaks and holidays.

The Norwegian Gem is a comfortable, mid-sized ship with plenty to do: shows, pools, dining options, a kids’ area, and quiet corners for grown-ups. Most Jacksonville sailings head to the Bahamas and Caribbean, and some include a stop at a private island for an all-day beach day. The season typically runs during cooler months back home, so you can trade jackets for swimsuits without booking long flights. Even better, Jacksonville’s cruise terminal sits close to the airport and major highways, so the whole “how do we get there?” question becomes very simple.
