Norwegian Cruise Line has unveiled its highly anticipated spring and summer 2027 itinerary collection, and it is nothing short of exceptional. With over 500 voyages spanning 59 countries and nearly 30 global homeports, NCL’s latest deployment is a celebration of exploration, luxury, and personalized travel. For sophisticated travelers seeking immersive cultural experiences, exclusive island escapes, and premium onboard amenities, these upcoming itineraries offer a compelling invitation to indulge in the art of cruising.
More Luxury and More Choice Across the Globe
The 2027 spring and summer season will see 20 ships from NCL’s fleet—many of them recently launched or refurbished—sailing to over 150 ports of call. Embarkation ports range from iconic cities like Miami, Seattle, and New York City to European gateways such as Rome and Southampton. The appeal is clear for those who prefer to begin their vacation with convenience and style, whether heading out from a U.S. city or crossing the Atlantic to start a European journey.
Each itinerary is crafted to include longer stays and more overnights in coveted destinations such as Istanbul, Reykjavik, and Bermuda. These enhancements translate into richer travel experiences, more time to explore local culture and cuisine, and the chance to savor destinations beyond the standard shore excursion.
Caribbean Bliss and Island Indulgence

For those drawn to crystalline waters and sun-drenched beaches, NCL’s Caribbean, Bahamas, and Bermuda cruises offer the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Voyages range from three to 11 days and frequently include stops at NCL’s two private island destinations—Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas and Harvest Caye in Belize.
These idyllic islands are being transformed with premium guest experiences. Great Stirrup Cay, for example, will soon boast a new multi-ship pier, an expansive heated pool, and an adults-only cabana retreat. Families can enjoy the newly developed Horizon Park, complete with lawn games and recreational space. These enhancements are designed to rival high-end resorts, offering beachside luxury and personalized comfort without sacrificing the authentic island atmosphere.
Caribbean and Bahamas sailings will be available on a variety of ships including the elegant Norwegian Aqua and the sleek Norwegian Viva. With embarkations from both Miami and Orlando, guests can easily access their dream vacation while enjoying world-class service and fine dining at sea.
Bermuda and Canada for East Coast Elegance

For a more refined take on island cruising, Bermuda is a prime destination. Three NCL ships will sail to Bermuda from Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, with itineraries that include overnight stays at the Royal Naval Dockyard. Imagine strolling the pink-sand beaches by day and dining alfresco under the stars—this is luxury redefined.
These voyages also include visits to Halifax, Nova Scotia and Norfolk, Virginia, combining Old World charm with scenic coastal beauty. For fall travelers, NCL’s Canada and New England sailings provide a front-row seat to the dramatic color changes of the northeastern foliage, paired with gourmet seafood tastings and wine tours through regional vineyards.
Experience Europe with More Time to Explore

NCL’s European offerings are a masterpiece of itinerary design. With eight ships sailing from ports such as Athens, Barcelona, and Reykjavik, guests can choose from an impressive array of seven- to eleven-day voyages. More than 90 percent of the time is spent in port, and many itineraries include overnight stays or late-night departures in cultural capitals like Copenhagen, Istanbul, and Ibiza.
The spotlight ships for this region include Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, offering sophisticated accommodations and itineraries that span the Western Mediterranean, the Greek Isles, and Northern Europe. For the culturally curious, destinations such as Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia, Kotor in Montenegro, and Riga in Latvia promise a deep dive into the arts, architecture, and traditions of each locale.
Smaller ships like Norwegian Sun and Norwegian Jewel are thoughtfully deployed for more intimate, port-intensive journeys, featuring lesser-known gems across the Adriatic and the Baltics. These itineraries cater to discerning travelers who seek off-the-beaten-path experiences paired with world-class service.
Alaska Adventures with Unmatched Natural Beauty

For those seeking a coolcation in summer 2027, NCL offers a luxurious way to experience the raw beauty of Alaska. Departing from Seattle, Vancouver, and Whittier, ships like Norwegian Encore and Norwegian Bliss are custom-built to showcase the splendor of the Alaskan wilderness with expansive observation decks, glass-walled lounges, and culinary offerings that highlight local ingredients.
Voyages include glacier-viewing experiences at Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay, as well as immersive excursions such as fishing in Kachemak Bay or riding the historic Alaska Railroad. These sailings provide a unique blend of adventure and elegance, making them ideal for those who appreciate both comfort and the call of the wild.
The Allure of the Pacific and Exotic Horizons

NCL’s 2027 deployment also extends deep into the South Pacific, offering voyages on Norwegian Spirit through French Polynesia, Fiji, the Cook Islands, and beyond. With itineraries ranging from 11 to 13 days, these sailings begin in vibrant cities like Sydney and Honolulu, promising cultural immersion, remote island serenity, and luxurious onboard living all in one journey.
For seasoned travelers or honeymooners seeking rare experiences, these routes are rich with opportunity—from snorkeling in coral-ringed lagoons to savoring French-influenced cuisine in Papeete.
Luxury Enhanced with More At Sea

To complement its elevated itineraries, NCL has launched its More At Sea program—a premium package that offers guests unlimited open bar access, specialty dining, high-speed Wi-Fi, and shore excursion credits. Featuring top-shelf brands like Grey Goose and Casamigos Tequila, this program adds a layer of sophistication and convenience, offering a savings of over 75 percent on included perks.
A Final Word on Planning Ahead
Norwegian Cruise Line’s spring and summer 2027 deployment is a thoughtfully curated collection of experiences designed for luxury-minded travelers. With more time in port, exclusive private island upgrades, and a global roster of destinations, it is a celebration of freedom, discovery, and indulgence.
Whether sipping wine in Santorini, spotting whales off the Alaskan coast, or unwinding in a private cabana in the Bahamas, guests will find that every moment on board is as enriching as the destinations themselves.
