NCL to add three ships in Asia Pacific 

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) will expand in Asia Pacific, Australia and New Zealand between September 2024 and March 2026, adding more than 30 itineraries on three ships that are new to the region: Norwegian Spirit, Norwegian Sun and Norwegian Sky.

 

NCL says 85 voyages will depart from 15 ports.
 
David J. Herrera, NCL president said the new nine-to-19-day sailings will feature an average of 10 hours in ports at more than 60 destinations across Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific islands. 
 
Highlights include NCL's first calls at ports including Albany, Busselton and Port Douglas in Australia; Matsuyama and Niigata, Japan; Aitutaki, Cook Islands and Suva, Fiji. 
 
The cruises will also feature 36 overnight stays in ports including Osaka, Himeji and Tokushima, Japan; Hong Kong; Bangkok, Thailand and Melbourne, Australia.
 
Norwegian Spirit will operate nine-to-15-day Asia voyages from September 2024 through November 2025 before transitioning to 11-to-14-day Australia/New Zealand cruises in late 2025. Spirit’s inaugural Asia cruise departs Tokyo on May 26, 2024.
 
Norwegian Sun arrives in Australia in December 2024, following an 18-day South Pacific cruise from Papeete. The ship will sail between Australia and New Zealand, including new Great Barrier Reef itineraries through May 2025. From November 2025 to March 2026, the Sun moves to Southeast Asia.  
 
Norwegian Sky arrives in the region in January 2025, offering 10-to-17-day Asia sailings through March 2025.
 
The new cruises can be combined with NCL's Free at Sea promotion, which provides extras like specialty dining, beverage packages and shore excursion credits. 
 
Guests can also extend their vacations with NCL's cruise-tours in ports like Auckland, Taipei, Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney.
