Cruise Itinerary
The Norwegian Dawn sails on April 5, 2026 for a 14 Night Transatlantic: Bahamas Azores & Madeira (Tampa To Lisbon). The ship will depart the port of Tampa, Florida at 4:00 PM and will return to the port of Lisbon, Portugal on Apr 19th at 7:00 AM. During the 15-day journey, the Norwegian Dawn will visit 5 additional ports and will spend 9 days at sea.
The Tampa area features great attractions and theme parks, from Busch Gardens with it's African themed village and legendary roller coasters, to the calm serene waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Hand rolled cigars are made the old-fashioned way in the Latin Quarter. The atmosphere in Tampa is laid-back and slightly reserved, unlike the hustle bustle of Florida's east coast cities.

Join Norwegian Cruiselines on the private island of Great Stirrup Cay. Four square miles of white beaches and coconut palm trees. Great Stirrup Cay features great swimming and snorkeling. Enjoy a barbecue Bahamas-style or do some shopping at the straw market to make your island experience complete.

Some say the Azores are a remnant of lost Atlantis. Drive from sea level to a deep, mile wide crater rimmed with lush tropical verdure. Look out to sea; you may glimpse Capelinhos, the volcano that rose from the Atlantic only four decades ago.
You'll be astonished to see, in the depths of the huge crater at the center of the island, two lakes--one emerald green, the other sky-blue. More astonishments: a cluster of hot springs bubbling in the mist.

Funchal is a busy port exporting wines, fish, and fruit, it is best known for its beautiful setting and balmy climate, which make it a much-frequented resort. It has a late-15th-century cathedral and a convent church containing the tomb of Jose Goncalves Zarco, who founded the city in 1421.

Lisbon is many cities, from the cobbled alleys of the Alfama district to the broad Parisian style avenues at its heart. View it all from the heights of St. George's Castle. Belem's Monument to the Discoveries recalls the seafaring past, while nearby Sintra's storybook palaces, and the seaside resort of Caiscais, have different tales to tell.
