Norwegian Cruise Line unveiled more than 400 new voyages in late 2026 to early 2027 during its Black Friday Sale that features 50% off all published voyages.

Norwegian Prima will debut in New Orleans, Norwegian Viva will return to Galveston and Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna will return to PortMiami. These ships will turn around on Saturdays and Sundays, and each itinerary calls at one of NCL's private destinations, Harvest Caye (Belize) or Great Stirrup Cay, which will have a new multi-ship pier by late 2025.

Short Bahamas cruises

Norwegian Joy’s first-ever season of three- and four-day Bahamas cruises from Miami begins in November 2026. And Norwegian Getaway’s Bahamas season will extend to April 2027 with three- to five-day cruises from Miami and Port Canaveral.

Norwegian Breakaway will sail from San Juan for the first time on southern Caribbean cruises.

A different Philadelphia ship

After relaunching operations from Philadelphia in April 2026 with Norwegian Jewel until September 2026, NCL will continue to sail from the SouthPort Marine Terminal Complex in fall-winter 2026/27 with Norwegian Pearl.

Norwegian Encore will kick off its first full Mexican Riviera season from mid-October 2026 through early April 2027, with seven-day roundtrips from Los Angeles.

Asia and Australia/New Zealand

Following its Alaska season in summer 2026, Norwegian Jade will return to Asia for the first time since winter 2019/20. The ship's seven-month Asia season, from October 2026 through early April 2027, will consist of 16 open-jaw voyages between Incheon (South Korea), Hong Kong and Singapore and two roundtrips from Tokyo.

In time for the holiday season, Norwegian Spirit will arrive in Sydney on Dec. 12, 2026, following a repositioning from Lautoka, Fiji, for roundtrips to ports in Australia and New Zealand and four-day 'taster' sailings to Hobart, Tasmania.

The Black Friday savings may be combined with NCL's new 'More at Sea' package of included amenities.
