Norwegian Cruise Line officially took delivery of Norwegian Luna today at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy.
The 156,000-gross-ton ship is the second vessel in NCL’s Prima Plus Class and the 21st ship in the line’s fleet.
Norwegian Luna measures 1,056 feet in length and carries up to 3,565 passengers across 1,809 staterooms.
The ship follows sister vessel Norwegian Aqua, which was delivered in March 2025, and is roughly 10 percent larger than the original Prima Class ships, Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva.
Dining and Entertainment
The ship features 17 dining options and 18 bars and lounges. Dining highlights include Le Bistro, NCL’s French specialty restaurant; Sukhothai, a Thai venue; and the Indulge Food Hall, which offers nine stations ranging from Indian cuisine to plant-based options. Complimentary main dining rooms and a 24-hour casual eatery round out the options.
On the entertainment side, Norwegian Luna debuts Luna Midway, a carnival-style outdoor amusement area, and Moon Climber, a multi-level obstacle course.
The Aqua Slidecoaster, a hybrid waterslide and roller coaster exclusive to NCL, returns from Norwegian Aqua and was recently named Best Water Park Ride/Attraction by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.
The Glow Court interactive LED sports complex operates as an activity space during the day and converts to a nightclub at night.
Accommodation options range from inside cabins to suites, with The Haven by Norwegian at the top tier. Haven guests have access to exclusive public spaces, a private restaurant, and 24-hour butler and concierge service.
Itinerary and Deployment
Following a transatlantic crossing from Rome, Norwegian Luna arrives in Miami on March 23, 2026, and will be officially christened at PortMiami on March 27.
The ship will homeport in Miami for its first year, sailing three- and four-day Bahamas itineraries and seven-day Caribbean routes. Eastern Caribbean sailings run through November 7, 2026, with stops including St. Thomas and NCL’s private island Great Stirrup Cay. Western Caribbean itineraries begin in November 2026, calling at Roatan, Cozumel, and Harvest Caye.
In April 2027, Norwegian Luna relocates to New York City to sail Bermuda voyages from that port.
