NORWEGIAN Cruise Line (NCL) has unveiled its highly anticipated 2027/28 northern hemisphere winter deployment, with an additional 320 voyages launched to the West Indies, the Caribbean, and the Mexican Riviera.
A highlight of the season will see Puerto Rico welcome two Prima-class ships for the first time, offering week-long voyages to the Southern Caribbean.
Each ship will provide a distinct itinerary, with Norwegian Prima featuring Sat turnarounds and seven-day itineraries calling in the British Virgin Islands; St. Maarten; Barbados; St. Lucia; St. Kitts & Nevis; and the US Virgin Islands, from 13 Nov 2027 through 22 Apri 2028.
Norwegian Viva will complement her sister ship’s itineraries, operating Sun turnarounds from 14 Nov 2027 through 23 Jan 2028, on southbound seven-day voyages to Aruba and Curacao.
Meanwhile, seven ships will depart from home ports across Florida during the season, allowing guest to choose from a variety of itineraries sailing to the Caribbean and the Panama Canal.
Many of these itineraries include a stop at Norwegian’s signature private destination in the Bahamas, Great Stirrup Cay.
The island will boast exciting upgrades and enhancements such as a new pier, a heated swimming pool, and Great Tides Waterpark (CW 30 Jul), once works are complete early next year.
Norwegian Joy, Norwegian Jewel, and Norwegian Luna will offer short Bahamas getaways and extended Caribbean and Panama Canal voyages.
Joy will feature three- and four-day Bahamas escapes between Nov 2027 and Apr 2028, while Norwegian Jewel presents a mix of 10- and 11-day voyages to the Caribbean and Panama Canal from Nov 2027 through Jan 2028.
Luna will delivers seven-day Caribbean sailings from Oct 2027 through Apr 2028 with Great Stirrup Cay on every itinerary.
The season will also see Norwegian Dawn return to Jacksonville, kicking off her second season from Florida’s most populous city, sailing four- and five-day Bahamas itineraries calling in Freeport, Nassau, and Great Stirrup Cay.
NCL will also continue its year-round deployment from Philadelphia, which is set to upgrade its cruise terminal.
Norwegian Pearl will sail a selection of five- to 12-day itineraries to Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Eastern and Southern Caribbean between Oct 2027 and Apr 2028. MS
