NCL unveils 2026 spring-summer...

Programme features departures from Philadelphia, shorter cruises to fun-in-the-sun destinations and bucket-list trips

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced its 2026 spring-summer itineraries.

Embarking from US and Canadian ports between April and November 2026, NCL's voyages will call at 30 destinations across the Caribbean, Bermuda, Bahamas, Canada, New England and Alaska.

NCL President David Herrera said: “Our new 2026 spring-summer deployment further meets the vacation demands of our guests with more shorter cruise offerings to fun-in-the-sun destinations, such as the Bahamas and the Caribbean, as well as a variety of longer itineraries to bucket-list destinations, such as Alaska.”

The new 2026 spring-summer season includes nearly 250 itineraries for nine of NCL’s soon-to-be 20 ships and features voyages from the Port of Philadelphia (PhilaPort) for the first time in many years. Plans are under way with the local government in Philadelphia to develop a facility to welcome cruisers in 2026.

Jeff Theobald, Executive Director and Chief Executive of PhilaPort, said: “Philadelphia has so much to offer, as the birthplace of freedom and the home to much of our nation’s history, we look forward to connecting cruisers with our world class city.”

Following Norwegian Jewel’s first season of Bermuda voyages from Philadelphia from April-August, 2026, it will sail 10- and 11-day Canada and New England itineraries, alternating embarkation ports between Philadelphia and Québec City.

Norwegian Breakaway will offer seven-day Bermuda voyages while Norwegian Aqua will return to New York City for its second Bermuda season, offering a selection of five- and-seven-day itineraries.

NCL is expanding its short-cruise offering with nearly 40 voyages to the Bahamas from Miami in spring-summer 2026 aboard Norwegian Getaway. The three- to four-night cruises will visit Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, the cruise line’s private island.

Norwegian Prima will extend its season in Port Canaveral, Florida, and sail seven-day sailings in the Caribbean.

Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Joy will offer Alaska sailings from Seattle, while Norwegian Jade will cruise a series of seven-day open-jaw sailings between Vancouver, British Columbia and the new-to-NCL homeport Whittier, Alaska.
