Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the global leader in cruise travel, is launching its 2025 summer travel season with a focus on offering guests the freedom and flexibility to design their dream cruise vacation. The company will be sailing to bucket-list destinations such as Alaska and Europe on newly revitalised ships, as well as fun-in-the-sun itineraries in the Caribbean and Bermuda.
“In anticipation of this summer season, we have invested significantly in new and newly renovated ships to give our guests more to do, more to enjoy and more value for their vacation in some of the hottest destinations this summer,” said DavidHerrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. “Summer travel season is here, and with the ability to unpack once and enjoy multiple destinations in one vacation, a cruise is the best option for travellers looking for incredible value. Whether you are dreaming of an adventure in Alaska, a cultural discovery in Europe or dipping your toes in the sand on a beach in the Caribbean, NCL has a great vacation for every type of traveller this summer.”
Through October 2025, NCL will boast the youngest fleet sailing to Alaska, with five ships cruising from convenient departure ports in the US and Canada, including Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. These ships feature expansive observation lounges, al fresco dining, bars, and lounge spaces. Norwegian Bliss offers a brand-new outdoor venue, Horizon Park, providing a variety of experiences from lawn-style games to giant Jenga and reclining loungers for optimal views of the Last Frontier.
The sister ships, Norwegian Encore and Norwegian Joy, also feature refreshed spaces from recent dry docks, such as the new addition of Spice H2O, an adults-only, complimentary outdoor area tucked away from the main pool deck, and a spacious and newly expanded Thermal Suite in the Mandara Spa and Salon. Adventure seekers and wildlife lovers can enjoy round-trip, seven-day cruises every Saturday or Sunday aboard Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore, visiting some of the most beautiful locations in Alaska.
Guests can also take advantage of NCL’s incredible Cruisetour offering, which provides travellers with more days to explore the destination, including a visit to the Denali National Park, a riverboat cruise and city tour in Fairbanks, Alaska, and a tour of the Iditarod sled dog musher’s camp.
When cruising with NCL, guests have the freedom and flexibility to design the European summer vacation of their dreams with a variety of port-immersive sailings with almost no days at sea and an average of 10 hours at each stop. With over 150 unique itineraries for guests to choose and eight ships visiting the region, guests can embark on their European dream vacation aboard refreshed ships.
Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Epic will sail a variety of nine, 10, 11 and 12-day cruises from Rome, Barcelona, Venice, Florence/Pisa, Salerno, Messina, and visits to the beautiful Greek Isles. In addition to sailing aboard refreshed ships, guests can embark on their European dream vacation aboard some of NCL’s newest ships in the fleet, Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, sailing a variety of Baltic, Northern Europe, and Greek Isles cruises.
Norwegian Aqua, the Company’s newest ship in the fleet, is currently offering round-trip, seven-day Caribbean cruises from Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida, one of the busiest home ports in the US. The ship will return to Miami for a season of seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruises between October 2025 and April 2026, visiting Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, Tortola, and Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian’s private island in the Bahamas.
In addition to the all-new Norwegian Aqua, Norwegian Getaway and Norwegian Jewel will also offer round-trip seven-day cruises to the beautiful island of Bermuda, with these ships sailing from New York and Boston, respectively. These beach-bound itineraries feature overnight calls to Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda, providing guests with more time to enjoy and discover the island’s turquoise blue waters and pink-sand beaches.
