NORWEGIAN Cruise Line’s (NCL) Norwegian Spirit will return to Australia for her third season, with a brand-new local itinerary between Sydney and Bali launched.
NCL has expanded its exotic itineraries collection for its 2024/2025 season, which will see Spirit cruise on a 14-day open-jaw voyage from Sydney to Bali via the Queensland coast in Dec 2024, which will reposition her to Asia ahead of her first continental voyage on 21 Dec.
The sailing includes calls to Cairns and Darwin, as well as an overnight visit to Bali.
A highlight of the season will see Spirit make NCL’s first call to Rarotonga in Nov 2025.
Elsewhere in the APAC region, Norwegian Sun and Norwegian Sky will debut in Asia, offering an extensive eight-month season from Oct 2024 through May 2025, sailing country-intensive voyages in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Japan.
Highlights include a collection of Japanese spring cherry blossom and fall foliage itineraries.
For the very first time, NCL will call into Akita during Sun’s 12-day round trip sailing from Tokyo, embarking on 23 Oct 2024.
Highlights in other parts of the world for the season will see NCL make its inaugural calls in Bahrain, Egypt, and Jordan on its first dedicated Middle East sailing.
NCL will offer a seven-day cruise in the region on Sun from Doha to Dubai, departing 12 Apr 2025.
An overnight stay in Abu Dhabi will provide travellers with more time to explore the destination, while the open-jaw voyage also includes visits to Dammam, Manama, and Sir Bani Yas.
NCL will also cruise its first voyage from Ushuaia, with Norwegian Star (pictured) to sail a 14-day South America voyage to Brazil and Antarctica, departing 01 Mar 2025.
This once-in-a-lifetime journey reduces the number of sea days needed for an Antarctica cruise, providing more port time for travellers.
During the voyage, guests will cruise through Paradise Harbour and witness the surrounding glacial mountains and local wildlife while also having the opportunity to experience the culture in Puerto Madryn, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Punta Del Este, and Sao Paulo.
“Our expanded presence in the Asia Pacific is testament to our long-term commitment to this region and its importance to our company as both a source market and a destination,” Managing Director & Vice President APAC Ben Angell said.
