NORWEGIAN Cruise Line (NCL) is celebrating Norwegian Sun’s (pictured) arrival to Australia for the first time.
Key highlights during her inaugural Down Under season include maiden calls in Sydney, Brisbane, and Townsville, immersive South Pacific sailings, and brand-first cruises like Bali to Brisbane and Lautoka to Sydney.
The season will also see Sun cruise an intensive Asia program, a series of island-hopping South Pacific sailings departing from Papeete, and visits to the Great Barrier Reef and New Zealand.
Sun will also sail three extended ‘Fire and Ice’ itineraries of 15 or 16 days, which include both Hawaii and Alaska, inviting guests to experience a blend of icy landscapes and tropical isles.
“We are excited to welcome Norwegian Sun to local waters for the first time so guests can experience first-hand how cruising with NCL offers more to see, more to do, more to enjoy and provides more value,” Vice President & Managing Director Ben Angell said.
“This collection of close-to-home voyages combines convenient Brisbane and Sydney turnarounds with even more ways to explore the South Pacific, New Zealand, Far North Queensland, and Asia.
“Plus, guests can follow the Sun to a bucket list collection of destinations including ‘Fire and Ice’ sailings between Hawaii and Alaska, providing guests with even more options to discover the world by sea.” MS
