Plan ahead and escape the cold this December by hopping aboard the Norwegian Star as it sails for 13 nights, westbound through the Panama Canal. Rates start at just $699, with travelers also receiving a 4-category room upgrade and 10 percent discounts on select shore excursions! On December 5, the Norwegian Star departs Miami with a stop in Cartagena, Colombia before making a daylight transit of the Panama Canal. The Star then heads north along the western side of Central America calling to port in Puntarenas, Costa Rica followed by three stops in Mexico: Huatulco, Acapulco, and Cabo San Lucas before arriving in Los Angeles on December 18.

THE VALUE: This cruise is at a 56 percent discount, and the starting price of $699 is equal to $54 a night!

THE CATCH: During cruise the Star calls to port just five times, meaning seven full days at sea, though one of those days is spent traversing the Panama Canal.
