Christine Da Silva, senior vice president of branding and communications for Norwegian, confirmed the cancellations to USA TODAY in an emailed statement Thursday. The authority said that the passengers who were due to start their cruise Sunday would not be able to do so that day and that they would have to be relocated to available hotels. It’s expected that the ship will be allowed to dock Tuesday, the cruise line said, after results of tests conducted Sunday become available. Around 15 passengers aboard the Norwegian Dawn remain in isolation because of an undisclosed "health risk" and are undergoing testing, according to the Mauritius Ports Authority. Starting in September, Norwegian Cruise Line is offering new itineraries to Asia and the Pacific onboard the Norwegian Spirit. According to the company, with pricing and availability dependent on the destination and demand, solo travelers can expect to pay less than a traditional double occupancy room.

Luis Fonsi, Norwegian Viva's godfather and GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, officially named and christened the vessel with the ceremonial champagne bottle break across the ship's hull which signifies good fortune and safe travels for all who sail aboard. As a native Puerto Rican, who is also based in Miami, Fonsi embodies the vibrant energy guests can enjoy aboard Norwegian Viva with warm-weather itineraries spanning from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean. “This strategic new-ship order across all three of our award-winning brands provides for the steady introduction of cutting-edge vessels into our fleet and solidifies our long-term growth,” said President and CEO Harry Sommer.

Norwegian Cruise Line Announces Brand-New Marketing Solution for Travel Partners
Norwegian Cruise Line is debuting new solo cabins, a refurbished ship, new immersive itineraries and more in 2024. With a historically smaller fleet, the company has been building new ships more aggressively versus peers in order to enter/serve certain markets. NCLH now has 13 ships on order over the next 12 years for a combined 41,000 berths, representing about 65% capacity growth, noted the analyst. The company has obtained export credit financing with favorable terms to fund 80% of the contract price of each of the two Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises ships. We laughed hard -- real tears came out -- at some of the raunchy, fourth-wall breaking humor and fully appreciated the jokes about cruise drinks packages and guests in NCL's The Haven suite complex.
Norwegian Cruise Line Cancels Select Sailings Across Seven Ships
MIAMI, Dec. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel with a 57-year history of breaking boundaries, today welcomed Norwegian Viva, the second ship in the award-winning Prima class, back to Miami following a celebratory voyage. After the delivery of four Prima-Plus class ships from 2025 through 2028, the cruise operator is expected to take delivery of four approximately 200,000-gross-ton ships, each with a capacity of nearly 5,000 guests, in 2030, 2032, 2034, and 2036. While there are subtle changes between the two ships, the most obvious difference is Indulge Food Hall, an included restaurant that brings the popular land-based food hall concept to the seas. Norwegian Joy will resume sailings post dry dock on Feb. 13, 2024, when she embarks on an 11-Day Transatlantic voyage from Southampton, United Kingdom to Miami. In March 2024, the ship will cruise seven-day round-trip Caribbean voyages from Miami before sailing to Bermuda from New York for summer 2024. Unlike airlines, cruise cancellation policies are not regulated by the federal government.
Norwegian Cruise Line Unveils All-New Culinary Experiences to Debut Aboard Norwegian Aqua
The cruise line officially christened its newest ship in Miami on Nov. 28, 2023 with exclusive performances and festivities. The new pier development in the Bahamas is set to begin in summer 2024 and be completed by late 2025 with an investment of about $150 million. (December 5, 2023) -- As part of the inaugural U.S. sailing, Cruise Critic had a chance to take in Beetlejuice The Musical. On Viva, Norwegian removed Coco's, the Starbucks kiosk (there's a large Starbucks in the atrium) and moved the ice cream venue outside, creating more seats and space. The cruise line highlighted that Jacksonville is a growing drive-to cruise market, with more than 98 million people living within driving distance to the cruise port. Financing is already in place to fund 80% of the cost for the four ships among the Oceania and Regent orders, but financing for the four NCL ships is not finalized.
In partnership with the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, each brand will design their new ship class and focus on creating the largest, most efficient, and innovative vessels of their respective fleet. Norwegian Cruise Line has canceled more than seven months of sailings on its Norwegian Sun ship. The Cruise Line has been working closely with destination partners and others to help provide not only a safe vacation but an exceptional experience for guests. Guests have the opportunity to follow along as the Company makes its final preparations to welcome guests on board with its new docuseries, EMBARK – The Series, premiering April 15 at 8 p.m. Meanwhile, Norwegian Escape, the first of the Breakaway-Plus class to be homeported in New Orleans, will embark on 7-day Western Caribbean voyages.
Following the three-day exclusive inaugural sailing, and select voyages from Miami, the ship will reposition to San Juan, Puerto Rico and be the newest ship to homeport in the destination when she arrives on Dec. 15, 2023. In April 2024, Norwegian Viva will return to sail Mediterranean and Greek Isles itineraries that offer an unmatched opportunity to experience the beauty and culture of Europe. In addition, NCL's year-round 'Free at Sea' offer provides travelers with more value with vacation-enhancing benefits, including unlimited open bar, specialty dining, shore excursion credits, complimentary Wi-Fi, discounted rates for the third and fourth guests and free roundtrip airfare for the second guest.
When guests walk into Sukhothai on deck 17, they will be greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere of bamboo and rice paper pendant lights; a striking geometric patterned floor; and colorful furniture transporting diners to the culturally rich country of Thailand. “This strategic new-ship order across all three of our award-winning brands provides for the steady introduction of cutting-edge vessels into our fleet and solidifies our long-term growth. The Cruise Line also extended its temporary Peace of Mind cancelation policy to guests sailing on cruises booked by April 30, 2021 with embarkation dates through Oct. 31, 2021. Those who take advantage of the Peace of Mind policy will receive a full refund in the form of a future cruise credit which may be applied to any sailing through Dec. 31, 2022.
Cruise line President David Herrera said the venue is a fan favorite and cruisers can expect the space to show up on the rest of the Prima Class, including Norwegian Aqua, which debuts in 2025. (December 5, 2023) -- Norwegian Viva made its U.S. debut last week, sailing its first itinerary from Miami before it repositions seasonally to homeport out of Puerto Rico. “Expanding our popular cruise program provides passengers throughout the Southeast U.S. and beyond with even more reasons to choose Jacksonville for their next vacation,” said JaxPort CEO Eric Green. Norwegian Gem will arrive at JaxPort in November 2025, marking the first time an NCL ship homeports in the northeast Florida port. The 2,394-passenger vessel will be based in Jacksonville from November to April every year until 2028. The ship is scheduled to homeport in Port Canaveral, New York and Miami during its inaugural season.
