Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has opened for sale the most itineraries at once in its history, from 35 departure ports – including brand-new NCL homeports in Haifa, Israel and La Romana, Dominican Republic. The announcement includes Australia and New Zealand cruises, as well as cruises within Northern Europe, The Mediterranean, Alaska and the Caribbean through to October 2024, while Hawai’i inter-island 7-day voyages are now open up to Dec 2025.
Following an extensive (and expensive!) makeover, Australian travellers can look forward to Norwegian Spirit returning to Australian and New Zealand waters from December 2023, offering eight 12-day sailings between Sydney and Auckland.
European highlights include a unique festive season sailing to Italy, Spain and Croatia departing December 2023 on Norwegian Epic; an 11-day Grand Mediterranean sailing on Norwegian Escape which includes a midnight departure from Ibiza; and a late-night departure from Santorini on Norwegian Pearl’s 7-day roundtrip voyage from Trieste, allowing guests time to soak up the ethereal beauty of the island’s famed sunsets first-hand.
“We are proud to be able to provide our guests with an even greater selection of sailings and the best value at sea to help them plan an unforgettable cruise vacation,” said Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. “So many travellers have been looking to make up for lost time and now we’re providing them with unique itineraries to check off those bucket-list destinations they may have longed for over the last year and a half. These port-rich itineraries allow our guests more time to explore unique destinations like a local and indulge in the cultural experiences around them.”
