NCL-Norwegian Cruise Line announced 400+ new voyages scheduled from late 2026 to early 2027, as part of its Black Friday Sale, which includes a 50% discount on all published voyages.

Highlights of these new itineraries include the debut of Norwegian Prima in New Orleans and the return of Norwegian Viva to Galveston, while Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna will resume operations out of PortMiami. These vessels will offer weekend turnarounds, with each itinerary including a stop at one of NCL’s exclusive private destinations, Harvest Caye in Belize or Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas, which will feature a new multi-ship pier by late 2025.

Norwegian Joy will begin her first season of 3- and 4-day Bahamas roundtrips from Miami in November 2026, and Norwegian Getaway will extend the Bahamas voyages through April 2027 with itineraries of 3 to 5 days departing from both Miami and Port Canaveral.

Additionally, Norwegian Breakaway will sail from San Juan for the first time on southern Caribbean routes.

After beginning its Philadelphia-based operations in April 2026 with Norwegian Jewel, NCL will continue to sail from the SouthPort Marine Terminal Complex into the 2026-2027 fall-winter season with Norwegian Pearl.

Further west, Norwegian Encore will offer her first full Mexican Riviera season, running 7-day roundtrip sailings from Los Angeles from mid-October 2026 through early April 2027. Following her summer 2026 Alaska season, Norwegian Jade will return to Asia for the first time since winter 2019-2020, embarking on a 7-month season from October 2026 through early April 2027. This season will include 16 itineraries between Incheon, Hong Kong, and Singapore, as well as two roundtrips from Tokyo.

For the holiday season, Norwegian Spirit will arrive in Sydney on December 12th, 2026, after repositioning from Lautoka Fiji and will offer roundtrip voyages to various ports in Australia and New Zealand, as well as shorter 4-day "taster" cruises to Hobart Tasmania.
