Port Canaveral chalked up a milestone today as Norwegian Sun embarked on its inaugural voyage to Cuba from the Central Florida port. This marks the first time a homeported cruise ship has sailed from Canaveral to Cuba.

The ship will depart Mondays on a four-night itinerary to Havana for an overnight call and Key West, alternating with a three-night weekend Bahamas getaway to Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay.
Sailing from renovated Cruise Terminal 10
Norwegian Sun returned to Port Canaveral to begin its summer sailing season fresh from a dry dock enhancement. The ship will be berthed at the recently remodeled Cruise Terminal 10, which underwent more than $35m in renovations.
Earlier, Norwegian Sun called Port Canaveral home from 2010 to 2012.
Port CEO Capt. John Murray expressed pride in Canaveral's partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line and the ability to offer travelers a new itinerary this summer. Murray and Canaveral Port Authority chairman Wayne Justice presented Norwegian Sun Capt. Teo Grbic with a plaque welcoming the ship’s return.
Investments validated
'Today’s embarkation to Cuba validates the port’s ongoing investments in state-of-the-art facilities and continuous improvement in cruise operations, earning the confidence of some of the world’s most successful cruise brands,' Justice said.
The 78,309gt Norwegian Sun was built in 2001. Pricing for the newly freshened 1,936-passenger ship includes unlimited drinks.
