Norwegian Cruise Line unveils new ship

Written by Sep 19, 2024Spice News

The company will launch Norwegian Luna – the sister ship of Norwegian Aqua, which is launching in March 2025 – as the latest in its Prima Plus Class fleet, and it will set sail from Miami on Caribbean voyages.

The ship is the 21st in Norwegian Cruise Line’s fleet, and its 2026 Caribbean season – running until November 2026 – will take in Roatan Island, Honduras; Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico; and Harvest Caye, Belize, the company’s resort destination.

The ship will then sail seven-day cruises with calls to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; St Thomas, US Virgin Islands; and Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island in the Bahamas.

Norwegian Luna is 322 metres long, weighs 156,300 gross tonnes and can accommodate 3550 guests.

“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,” says Norwegian Cruise Line president David J Herrera.

“The debut of Norwegian Luna showcases our ongoing commitment to providing guests more of what they enjoy and value: a new ship with the latest innovative offerings sailing to the beautiful tropical destinations of the Caribbean.”

Norwegian Cruise Line Asia-Pacific’s vice president and managing director, Ben Angell, says the new vessel will appeal to Australian travellers.

Norwegian Luna is the second vessel in our acclaimed Prima Plus Class, representing the continued evolution of our fleet,” he says.

“This class offers everything Australian cruisers love: more space to relax, diverse dining options, upscale health and wellness facilities, and world-class entertainment venues … across a choice of 400+ destinations.”
