In the Caribbean and Bahamas, the cruise line will operate sailings from Miami and Port Canaveral between June and September 2026. These itineraries include stops at popular destinations such as Cozumel, St Thomas, Tortola and Jamaica, as well as visits to Norwegian’s private island Great Stirrup Cay.

The island has recently undergone significant upgrades, including a new water park scheduled to open in September 2026 featuring multiple slides, a cliffside jumping area and a large kids splash zone. Existing facilities include expanded pool areas, swim up bars and an adults only beach club.

Norwegian is also expanding its Bermuda offering with departures from Boston, New York and Philadelphia. The return of Philadelphia as a cruise homeport marks the first service from the city in 15 years. Many Bermuda sailings include overnight stays, giving passengers more time on the island.

For travelers seeking cooler destinations, Norwegian continues its Alaska program with seven-day voyages from Seattle and Vancouver, offering glacier viewing, wildlife experiences, and optional land extensions.

The company said the combination of discounted fares, bundled perks and expanded regional departures is aimed at making cruising more accessible while supporting strong demand for summer travel experiences.
