NORWEGIAN Cruise Line (NCL) has unveiled its next vessel, Norwegian Luna, with bookings opening today.
The new Prima Plus-class ship will be a sister to Norwegian Aqua, and will debut in Mar 2026, sailing seven-day Caribbean voyages from Miami.
Luna will accommodate approximately 3,550 guests, boasting an overall 10% size and capacity increase from Prima-class ships Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva.
The 21st ship in Norwegian’s fleet will kick off her inaugural Caribbean season with two western itineraries to Roatan, Costa Maya, Cozumel, and Harvest Caye.
The ship will then sail seven-day cruises with calls to Eastern Caribbean destinations including Puerto Plata, Tortola, St. Thomas, and Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island in the Bahamas.
Luna will feature the exclusive Aqua Slidecoaster, which will become the longest and fastest slide at sea when it debuts on board Aqua.
The ship will also boast the all-new luxurious three-bedroom Duplex Haven Suites in NCL’s premium keycard-access-only complex, The Haven by Norwegian, which will also debut on board sister ship Aqua.
A variety of NCL’s elevated guest experiences will also make their comeback on Luna, including Ocean Boulevard, the outdoor walkway which wraps around the ship to bring guests closer to the sea; Vibe Beach Club, the adults-only, open-air lounge; Infinity Beach, which provides sweeping views of the ocean; and an expansive, upper pool deck equipped with day beds for soaking up rays.
The vessel will also “shine brighter” with celestial-inspired hull art inspired by the reflection of moonlight on the sea by celebrated street artist Elle.
“Luna is the second vessel in our acclaimed Prima Plus-class, representing the continued evolution of our fleet,” Vice President and Managing Director Ben Angell explained.
“This class offers everything Australian cruisers love – more space to relax, diverse dining options, upscale health & wellness facilities, and world-class entertainment venues.
“With the launch of Norwegian Luna, we continue to deliver more opportunities for our guests to embark on the holiday of their dreams across a choice of 400-plus destinations,” Angel added.
Additional guest experiences aboard Luna will be unveiled in coming months. MS
