Norwegian Cruise Line has taken delivery of the newest ship in its award-winning Prima Plus Class. Debuting in Miami in late March, Norwegian Luna will be the newest ship to sail year-round Caribbean itineraries and visit NCL’s resort-style destinations.
As the second ship in the next-generation Prima Plus Class, Norwegian Luna elevates every moment of the guest journey. Measuring 156,000 gross tons, the ship features 1,809 staterooms and accommodates 3,565 passengers. With 17 dining options and 18 bars and lounges, it offers remarkable culinary variety and vibrant social settings to suit every mood and moment.
“We are thrilled to welcome Norwegian Luna to our fleet and to welcome our first guests aboard next week,” said Marc Kazlauskas, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. “As our newest ship, Norwegian Luna is a powerful reflection of NCL’s ‘It’s Different Out Here’ brand ethos. She delivers freedom, flexibility, and thoughtfully curated experiences, allowing guests to enjoy their vacation exactly how they want, with ease. This ship represents the continued evolution of our vision and the incredible work behind an award-winning class of ships. We are deeply appreciative of the world-class architects and designers, as well as our talented partners at Fincantieri who brought Norwegian Luna to life. We’re proud to continue this strong partnership as we look ahead to building more exceptional NCL vessels together over the next decade.”
Entertainment and Innovative Attractions
Designed for both families and travelers seeking elevated experiences, Norwegian Luna offers an impressive variety of activities and choices. Families will find no shortage of fun with a wide range of innovative attractions designed for all ages. Highlights include the Aqua Slidecoaster, a thrilling hybrid between a waterslide and a rollercoaster exclusively available on NCL, which was recently named “Best Water Park Ride/Attraction” by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.
The all-new Luna Midway offers an outdoor amusement-park-style area featuring carnival-inspired games, and the debuting Moon Climber challenges kids and adults alike with a multi-level obstacle course. Interactive play spaces include The Luna Game Zone, offering everything from retro arcade favorites to cutting-edge virtual reality experiences. Sports and social play come together at the Glow Court, a high-tech complex with an interactive LED floor that transforms from an energetic play space during the day into a lively club at night. Meanwhile, adults seeking a more relaxed escape can unwind at the award-winning Mandara Spa, known for its world-class wellness offerings, or retreat to the adults-only Vibe Beach Club.
In the evening, guests can immerse themselves in best-in-class entertainment with “Elton: A Celebration of Elton John,” a tribute to the legendary music of the pop icon, as well as “HIKO: Innovation Meets Wonder,” a multimedia show featuring innovative design, cirque-style acrobatics, and contemporary dance. The guest-favorite Syd Norman’s Pour House returns with a new production: “A Tribute to Eagles,” an unforgettable show spotlighting the music of one of the greatest American bands of all time.
Culinary Variety and Luxury Accommodation
Culinary enthusiasts will delight in the diverse dining line-up. Guests can enjoy the complimentary main dining rooms serving a rotating menu of classic favorites and globally inspired dishes, as well as a 24-hour eatery for casual bites any time of day. The Indulge Food Hall adds even more variety, with nine stations offering flavors from around the world, including Indian cuisine, hearty smokehouse favorites, noodle dishes, and plant-based options. For those looking to explore something different, specialty restaurants such as Le Bistro, NCL’s signature French restaurant, and Sukhothai, a Thai dining venue blending traditional recipes with creative twists, provide memorable evenings in inviting settings.
Furthermore, Norwegian Luna offers a wide variety of thoughtfully designed accommodations to meet the needs of every type of traveler, from solo adventurers and families to couples and luxury seekers. Guests can choose from well-appointed inside, oceanview, and balcony staterooms, as well as suites. At the pinnacle of the onboard accommodation experience is The Haven by Norwegian®, NCL’s exclusive ship-within-a-ship concept, featuring expansive suites, public spaces, and a restaurant exclusively reserved for Haven guests, complete with personalized butler and concierge service.
Routes and Future Planning
Following her transatlantic voyage from Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy, Norwegian Luna will arrive in the U.S. on March 23, 2026, for her grand debut in Miami. She will be officially christened on March 27, 2026, at PortMiami.
During her first year of service, Norwegian Luna will homeport in Miami and offer a variety of three- and four-day Bahamas voyages, as well as seven-day Caribbean itineraries. From April 11 through November 7, 2026, the ship will visit sun-drenched ports in the Eastern Caribbean, such as Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic) and St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands), as well as the newly enhanced Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island paradise in the Bahamas. This island features a new pier and several amenities, including an oversized pool and the Great Tides Waterpark, scheduled to open in summer 2026.
Starting in November 2026, Norwegian Luna will sail Western Caribbean itineraries, calling at Roatán (Honduras), Cozumel (Mexico), and Harvest Caye, NCL’s private resort-style destination off the coast of Belize. On April 6, 2027, Norwegian Luna will debut in New York City, offering four- to seven-day Bermuda voyages with overnights at the Royal Naval Dockyard.
