Norwegian Cruise Line has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 itineraries to the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, Alaska, Canada, and New England, as well as a new season of sailings from the Port of Philadelphia (PhilaPort) for the first time in many years.
On April 16, 2026, the Norwegian Jewel will begin seven- to nine-day cruises to Bermuda, launching the city as a new cruise destination. The Norwegian Jewel's Bermuda itineraries will include overnight stops at the Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda, giving guests more time to enjoy and explore the island's turquoise waters and pink sand beaches.
This new NCL homeport will provide residents of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region with greater access to cruises, as it will be the only cruise line sailing out of Philadelphia until October 17, 2026.
"We remain committed to providing more experiences for our guests to create unforgettable memories, so they can vacation better with us," said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line.
The company's new Spring/Summer 2026 season includes nearly 250 itineraries for nine of its 20 ships. These voyages, departing from U.S. and Canadian ports between April and November 2026, will call at 30 unique destinations in the Caribbean, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Canada, New England, and Alaska.
Herrera continued: “Our new Spring/Summer 2026 rollout further satisfies our guests’ vacation demands with more shorter cruise offerings to fun-in-the-sun destinations like the Bahamas and the Caribbean, as well as a variety of longer itineraries to bucket-list destinations like Alaska.”
Highlights of NCL's Spring/Summer 2026 deployment itineraries include:
NEW HOME PORTS AND ITINERARIES IN BERMUDA, CANADA AND NEW ENGLAND
Following Norwegian Jewel's inaugural Bermuda cruise season from Philadelphia from April 16, 2026 to August 27, 2026, it will sail immersive 10- and 11-day itineraries through Canada and New England, alternating embarkation ports between Philadelphia and Quebec City.
On April 19, 2026, the Norwegian Breakaway® will become NCL's largest ship to offer regular calls in Boston with seven-day voyages to Bermuda through November. From late August through mid-October 2026, the ship will embark on seven-day itineraries to Canada and New England.
In addition, the Norwegian Aqua will return to New York for its second season in Bermuda, sailing on a selection of five- and seven-day itineraries with overnight stays at the Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda.
LONGEST CONTINUOUS SEASON IN THE BAHAMAS
Due to popular customer demand, NCL is expanding its short cruise offerings with nearly 40 sailings to the Bahamas from Miami in spring/summer 2026 aboard the Norwegian Getaway. The three- to four-night cruises will visit Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, the company's private island.
CARIBBEAN CRUISE ABOARD NCL'S NEWEST SHIP
The Norwegian Prima's spacious outdoor area makes it ideal for some of the best island-hopping itineraries in the Caribbean. The ship will extend its season in Port Canaveral, Florida, and sail seven days through the Eastern and Western Caribbean, visiting the region's most popular ports, including Montego Bay, Jamaica; George Town, Cayman Islands; and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. For a longer tropical getaway, guests can book back-to-back sailings to create a 14-day trip that maximizes their fun-filled time in the sun.
ALASKA'S YOUNGEST FLEET
Embarking at Pier 66 in Seattle, the Norwegian Encore and the Norwegian Bliss will make seven-day voyages, while the Norwegian Joy will offer longer, more immersive nine- to ten-day trips.
