After debuting in Alaska in 2018, Norwegian Bliss will return for the 2019 season, with a new Glacier Bay itinerary
Norwegian Cruise Line will send Norwegian Bliss back to Alaska for a second season in 2019, joining Norwegian Pearl and Norwegian Jewel, while Norwegian Getaway will be back in the Baltic after a one-year hiatus, part of a five-ship Europe lineup.

The deployments are part of the Norwegian's newly announced 2019 summer program, which also features May and June sailings in Canada/New England.

After making its debut in summer 2018, Norwegian Bliss will return for its second Alaska season, sailing new seven-day Glacier Bay voyages from Seattle on Sundays.

Norwegian Pearl, which recently underwent an extensive renovation earlier this year as a part of the Norwegian Edge program, will sail seven-day Alaska cruises from Seattle, departing on Saturdays.

And Norwegian Jewel will return to Vancouver, BC, and Seward after a bow-to-stern enhancement in fall 2018 to continue seven-day Glacier Bay northbound and Inside Passage southbound Alaska highlights voyages. These can be combined into a 14-day itinerary.

Norwegian Getaway will be back in the Baltic with nine-day cruises from Copenhagen to Warnemünde (for Berlin), Tallinn, Helsinki, Stockholm and St. Petersburg (overnight).

Norwegian Epic will return to Europe in summer 2019 for seven-day western Mediterranean cruises, with embarkation available at Barcelona or Civitavecchia (Rome) and visiting destinations in Italy, France and Spain.

Following an extensive renovation in 2017, Norwegian Jade will spend summer 2019 sailing the Greek Isles and Italy on 10- and 11-day cruises from Civitavecchia.

Norwegian Star, which will undergo a refurbishment in spring 2018, will also sail the Greek Isles and eastern Mediterranean, offering primarily seven-day cruises with a small selection of nine-, 10-, 11- and 12-day sailings departing from Venice.

Norwegian Spirit will homeport in Southampton for the summer, sailing a selection of 10-day or longer cruises to the British Isles, Iceland, Norwegian Fjords, the Arctic Circle and the Baltics. Full itinerary details will be released when the ship opens for sale in mid-January.  

As for the early-summer Canada/New England routes, they'll operate on Norwegian Dawn from New York. Four, seven-day cruises in May and June will visit Halifax, Saint John, Bar Harbor, Portland and Newport.
