Introducing Norwegian's New Season of Summer 2026 Sailings

We’ve just unveiled our first itineraries for Summer 2026 — a group of sailings based on guest feedback and global travel trends. One major point of growth across the world of travel is the desire to see new destinations while remaining close to home. Our gorgeous fall New England & Canada cruises offer the unique opportunity to do just that. Guests can discover new regions, landscapes, and cities they’ve never seen before, but do so from a close-to-home port.

Cruises to Bermuda are also the perfect way to get a dose of sun and sand without travelling too far. And everyone loves The Caribbean, how can you not? So we’re sending one of our newest ships, Norwegian Prima, on both Eastern & Western Caribbean itineraries that can be enjoyed separately or combined together for an unforgettable tropical vacation. One bucket-list destination that is not close to home but is best explored by cruise ship is Alaska, and no one does Alaska like NCL. The summer and fall are the best time to explore The Last Frontier (think Northern Lights and Midnight Sun), and our 2026 itineraries to The Greatest Outdoors are sure to be our best yet!

A Philadelphia Story for Norwegian Jewel

What do the Liberty Bell, Rocky Balboa, cheesesteak sandwiches and Norwegian Jewel have in common? They'll all be in Philadelphia in the spring of 2026. (OK, Rocky is a statue, but you get the idea). Yup, Norwegian Cruise Line is officially the only cruise line home porting in the City of Brotherly Love.

The exquisitely refurbished Jewel will start her journey in April 2026, transporting guests from the streets of Philadelphia to the pink sands of Bermuda. These months are ideal times to visit this beautiful British territory, thanks to the region’s mild, sub-tropical climate and its southerly winds. All sailings spend multiple days in the famous Royal Naval Dockyard, providing plenty of time to explore the island’s exciting attractions, first-rate shopping, world-class golf and maritime history. From a family beach day on beautiful Horseshoe Bay to snorkeling through an underwater world to a moonlight on a catamaran ride, this destination has it all.

On her journey down to the tropics, Jewel will also make stops in America’s picturesque and historic cities. While on board, guests can enjoy Jewel’s delicious dining at restaurants like Cagney’s Steakhouse and Le Bistro, play on the multi-level sports court, sip cocktails at Sugarcane Mojito Bar, take in spectacular entertainment, and live it up at Bliss Ultra Lounge.

These easy getaways make for a perfect and quick tropical vacation. As the latest ship in the Prima Class, Norwegian Aqua will make new waves in 2025, boasting first-of-its-kind amenities like the Aqua Slidecoaster – the world’s first hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide, new restaurants like Sukhothai and Planterie — our first plant-based offering, and the all-new 3-bedroom Haven Duplex Suite.

Find Your Vibe on Island Time

Farther south in the Caribbean, Norwegian Prima — the first in its class — will offer 7-day Western and Eastern Caribbean sailings. Starting in Port Canaveral, travelers can visit the incredible Kennedy Space Center, then sail over turquoise waters through a tropical paradise. All Eastern Caribbean itineraries visit our private island, Great Stirrup Cay — an idyllic paradise filled with white-sand beaches, vibrant marine life, sporting activities with kayaks and Jet Skis, delicious island eateries, and private cabanas. The Western Caribbean routes visit incredible destinations like Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. For the tropical vacation of a lifetime, cruisers can combine both itineraries to create a full 14-day “fun in the sun” retreat, all while enjoying Prima’s world-class amenities like a three-story racetrack, a groundbreaking theatre and night club, a myriad of dining options, and so much more.

Not to be outdone, Norwegian Getaway will offer 3,4, and 7-day sailings to the sunny Bahamas. This will be Norwegian’s first fall season of Bahamian sailings on a large ship.
