Cordelia Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line have officially signed an agreement to transfer the Norwegian Sky and Norwegian Sun to Cordelia's growing fleet. These additions mark a significant milestone in Cordelia's journey to make cruise vacations more accessible, aspirational, and world-class for Indian travelers.
“We are delighted to welcome these iconic ships to the Cordelia fleet, building on the resounding success of the Empress, which redefined cruise holidays for Indian travelers,” said Jurgen Bailom, President and CEO of Cordelia Cruises.
The Norwegian Sky and Norwegian Sun, both part of Norwegian Cruise Line’s acclaimed Sun-class series, bring a legacy of world-class cruising, thoughtful design for comfort, and a superior guest experience. Each ship is approximately 850 feet long, with a gross tonnage of about 77,000, and can accommodate around 2,000 passengers and 900 crew members. Together, they will more than double Cordelia’s current capacity and allow the brand to explore new regions and offer broader, more immersive cruise experiences.
One of the most significant advancements with this expansion is the enhanced variety of cabin categories. Both ships boast over 1,000 cabins, including a selection ranging from single staterooms to balcony suites and suites. Passengers can enjoy an elevated onboard experience with multiple specialty restaurants, an elegant theater and entertainment venues, casinos, a wellness center, shops, a game room, swimming pools, sun decks, a fitness center, and dedicated areas for children's and family entertainment. These sister ships are renowned for their spaciousness, welcoming atmosphere, and versatility, making them perfectly suited for both short getaways and extended destination-focused itineraries.
Since its launch in 2021, the Cordelia Empress has welcomed over 600,000 guests on more than 450 voyages, offering a unique cruise experience in India, combining world-class infrastructure with the best of Indian flavors, hospitality and entertainment.
Cordelia Cruises will soon announce the deployment schedules and destinations for its two new ships, with plans to operate a mix of domestic and international routes. The addition of these ships will allow the cruise line to reach more ports in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, paving the way for longer itineraries, increased frequency, and a more diverse and enriched guest experience.
