Marking the Company's 21st ship in its
cutting-edge fleet, Norwegian Luna opened for sale today for guests
to choose from a variety of fun-in-the-sun voyages sailing
roundtrip from Miami beginning
April 4, 2026 through November 2026. Norwegian Luna will kick off its
inaugural Caribbean season with two western
itineraries to Roatan Island, Honduras; Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico; and Harvest Caye,
Belize, the Brand's resort-style
destination. The ship will then sail seven-day cruises with calls
to the beautiful Eastern
Caribbean destinations of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; St. Thomas,
U.S. Virgin Islands; and Great
Stirrup Cay, NCL's private island in the Bahamas, which will feature a brand-new pier
by late 2025.
At 1,056 feet long, 156,300 gross tons, and accommodating
approximately 3,550 guests at double occupancy, Norwegian Luna will
boast an overall 10 percent size and capacity increase from Prima
Class ships, Norwegian
Prima® and Norwegian Viva®.
Norwegian Luna will be designed as a twin sister-ship
to Norwegian Aqua, the Company's latest new vessel due for
delivery in March 2025. Both ships
are currently being built by renowned Italian shipbuilder
Fincantieri, with interior designs across the ship created by
world-class architects AD Associates, Piero Lissoni, Rockwell
Group, SMC Design, and Studio Dado.
"Inspired by the relationship between the moon and the tides of
the ocean, we are excited to introduce Norwegian Luna as the vessel
that perfectly complements her sister ship, Norwegian Aqua," said
David J. Herrera, president of
Norwegian Cruise Line. "The debut of Norwegian Luna truly showcases
our ongoing commitment to providing guests more of what they enjoy
and value – a brand-new ship with the latest, innovative offerings
sailing to the beautiful, tropical destinations of the Caribbean. It's important to give our guests
more to see, more to do, more to enjoy on board and ultimately more
out of their cruise vacation. We can't wait for them to experience
Norwegian Luna!"
Norwegian Luna's hull art will showcase a vibrant dreamscape by
ELLE, the highly acclaimed street artist from Napa, Calif., who has partnered with popular
brand names such as Nike, Reebok and Ralph
Lauren. Entitled 'La Luna,' the artwork is a visual
exploration of humanity's deep-rooted connection with the celestial
forces in space as human beings are intrinsically linked to the ebb
and flow of the moon. 'La Luna' will display proudly on the bow of
the ship, leading guests on an extraordinary voyage and an epic
journey of discovery.
"I'm thrilled to partner with Norwegian Cruise Line who has been
known for showcasing stunningly designed hull art across its entire
fleet," said ELLE. "It's been an incredible experience crafting
this piece and knowing my 1,056-foot piece of artwork will sail
across the seas, traveling the globe for all to see."
Mirroring the upscale design and structure of Norwegian Aqua,
Norwegian Luna will thrill and exhilarate guests with the NCL
exclusive Aqua Slidecoaster, a first-of-its-kind hybrid
rollercoaster and waterslide that will debut next year on Norwegian
Aqua and become the longest and fastest slides at sea. Complete
with exhilarating dual slides and a magnetic lift that propels
adventurous guests through two different courses, this attraction
will feature three stories of exciting twists and turns around the
ship's funnel. Norwegian Luna will also feature a digital sports
complex, the Glow Court, offering a variety of interactive guest
activities by day and then transforming into a nightclub in the
evening. Guests will also be able to continue to enjoy some of
their favorite onboard experiences aboard Norwegian Luna, including
The Drop, NCL's 10-story free-fall slide, and the Stadium, an
outdoor space offering complimentary activities.
Norwegian Luna will boast the all-new luxurious Three-Bedroom
Duplex Haven Suites in the Brand's premium
keycard-access-only-complex, The Haven by
Norwegian®, which were first announced to debut on
sister ship Norwegian Aqua. These expansive two-story suites will
feature separate living and dining areas; three bathrooms; a
balcony; and three bedrooms. Haven guests will continue to enjoy
24-hour butler service and a dedicated concierge team as well as
access to a sprawling sundeck; an infinity pool overlooking the
ship's stern; an outdoor spa complete with a glass-walled sauna and
cold room; two hot tubs; a private lounge; and an exclusive bar
pouring rare spirits and vintages.
A variety of NCL's elevated guest experiences will also make
their comeback on Norwegian Luna including Ocean Boulevard, the
46,000 square foot outdoor walkway which wraps around the entire
ship to bring guests closer to the sea; Vibe Beach Club, the
adults-only, open-air lounge; Infinity Beach which provides
sweeping views of the ocean; and an expansive, upper pool deck
equipped with day beds for soaking up the sun.
Guests aboard Norwegian Luna can also enjoy the new dining and
bar experiences of the Prima Plus Class such as Sukhothai, the
Company's Thai specialty restaurant with an eclectic menu of
traditional and creative offerings and Indulge Food Hall with 10
different food stations including the plant based Planterie
location. Returning NCL signature specialty and complimentary
venues include Cagney's Steakhouse; Le Bistro, the elevated French
restaurant; and Onda by Scarpetta, the high-end Italian venue. In
addition to the culinary offerings, guests can indulge in bar and
lounge favorites for delicious imbibes at Whiskey Bar, Belvedere
Bar, and Metropolitan, NCL's modern Sail & Sustain cocktail bar
which won the 2024 Vibe Vista Award for "Best Beverage Menu."
