Following the delivery of four Prima-Plus class ships from 2025 through 2028, Norwegian Cruise Line is expected to take delivery of four approximately 200,000-gross-ton ships, each with a capacity of nearly 5,000 guests, in 2030, 2032, 2034 and 2036, which are subject to financing. "To christen Norwegian Viva in Miami is incredibly special to many of us at NCL, not only because Miami is our hometown, but also because we can share this moment with our local family and friends," said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. "Launching a ship is no solo endeavor.  I am overwhelmed with gratitude towards the entire NCL team, our partners and especially our amazing crew who have contributed to bringing Norwegian Viva to life and who care for and deliver exceptional vacation experiences for our guests."

On Viva, Norwegian removed Coco's, the Starbucks kiosk (there's a large Starbucks in the atrium) and moved the ice cream venue outside, creating more seats and space. The cruise line highlighted that Jacksonville is a growing drive-to cruise market, with more than 98 million people living within driving distance to the cruise port. Financing is already in place to fund 80% of the cost for the four ships among the Oceania and Regent orders, but financing for the four NCL ships is not finalized.

The strategy is expected to boost Norwegian Cruise’s product offering, guest experiences, and operational infrastructure. Nama Sushi and Sashimi, which first debuted on Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, will now feature a fresh, lively design by Studio DADO aboard Norwegian Aqua.

Cruise line President David Herrera said the venue is a fan favorite and cruisers can expect the space to show up on the rest of the Prima Class, including Norwegian Aqua, which debuts in 2025. (December 5, 2023) -- Norwegian Viva made its U.S. debut last week, sailing its first itinerary from Miami before it repositions seasonally to homeport out of Puerto Rico. “Expanding our popular cruise program provides passengers throughout the Southeast U.S. and beyond with even more reasons to choose Jacksonville for their next vacation,” said JaxPort CEO Eric Green. Norwegian Gem will arrive at JaxPort in November 2025, marking the first time an NCL ship homeports in the northeast Florida port. The 2,394-passenger vessel will be based in Jacksonville from November to April every year until 2028. The ship is scheduled to homeport in Port Canaveral, New York and Miami during its inaugural season.

Brand-New Culinary and Bar ExperiencesMaking its debut on the all-new Norwegian Aqua is Sukhothai, the Company's first-ever Thai specialty restaurant, featuring an eclectic menu with authentic, traditional offerings with creative, dynamic flavors. Guests can look forward to a new spin on traditional staples, such as Thai Cashew Chicken; Salt and Pepper Prawns; Thai Grilled Steak Salad; a variety of complementing curries and so much more. Décor imagined by the London-based SMC Design firm, the upscale dining venue will boast a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary Thai design elements.

Norwegian Cruise Line Announces Brand-New Caribbean Cruises from New Orleans and Port Canaveral this Fall

MIAMI, Dec. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel with a 57-year history of breaking boundaries, today welcomed Norwegian Viva, the second ship in the award-winning Prima class, back to Miami following a celebratory voyage. After the delivery of four Prima-Plus class ships from 2025 through 2028, the cruise operator is expected to take delivery of four approximately 200,000-gross-ton ships, each with a capacity of nearly 5,000 guests, in 2030, 2032, 2034, and 2036. While there are subtle changes between the two ships, the most obvious difference is Indulge Food Hall, an included restaurant that brings the popular land-based food hall concept to the seas. Norwegian Joy will resume sailings post dry dock on Feb. 13, 2024, when she embarks on an 11-Day Transatlantic voyage from Southampton, United Kingdom to Miami. In March 2024, the ship will cruise seven-day round-trip Caribbean voyages from Miami before sailing to Bermuda from New York for summer 2024. Unlike airlines, cruise cancellation policies are not regulated by the federal government.

Christine Da Silva, senior vice president of branding and communications for Norwegian, confirmed the cancellations to USA TODAY in an emailed statement Thursday. The authority said that the passengers who were due to start their cruise Sunday would not be able to do so that day and that they would have to be relocated to available hotels. It’s expected that the ship will be allowed to dock Tuesday, the cruise line said, after results of tests conducted Sunday become available. Around 15 passengers aboard the Norwegian Dawn remain in isolation because of an undisclosed "health risk" and are undergoing testing, according to the Mauritius Ports Authority. Starting in September, Norwegian Cruise Line is offering new itineraries to Asia and the Pacific onboard the Norwegian Spirit. According to the company, with pricing and availability dependent on the destination and demand, solo travelers can expect to pay less than a traditional double occupancy room.

The Cruise Line also extended its temporary Peace of Mind cancelation policy to guests sailing on cruises booked by April 30, 2021 with embarkation dates through Oct. 31, 2021. Those who take advantage of the Peace of Mind policy will receive a full refund in the form of a future cruise credit which may be applied to any sailing through Dec. 31, 2022.

Norwegian Cruise Line is debuting new solo cabins, a refurbished ship, new immersive itineraries and more in 2024. With a historically smaller fleet, the company has been building new ships more aggressively versus peers in order to enter/serve certain markets. NCLH now has 13 ships on order over the next 12 years for a combined 41,000 berths, representing about 65% capacity growth, noted the analyst. The company has obtained export credit financing with favorable terms to fund 80% of the contract price of each of the two Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises ships.

In front of NCL executives, travel advisers, media and crew, singer/songwriter Luis Fonsi christened the ship November 28 at Norwegian's expansive cruise terminal in PortMiami. The "Despacito" singer served as the ship's godfather, saying the traditional blessing and pressing a large button that sent a giant bottle of Champagne careening into the ship's hull. (December 5, 2023) -- While Norwegian Viva has been sailing since August, the ship wasn't christened right out of the dock. When asked if NCL might roll out Indulge to existing ships, Herrera rule it out completely but said the space requirement the restaurant needs would make it difficult to retrofit. Specifics about the ships’ accommodations and amenities will be announced “in the coming months,” according to the release.
