Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced the newest addition to its Prima Plus class, the Norwegian Luna, which is scheduled to set sail in 2026. Upon its launch, Luna will mark the 21st vessel in the NCL fleet, embarking on roundtrip cruises from Miami starting 4 April 2026 and continuing through November of the same year. Its inaugural season in the Caribbean will offer various itineraries, including routes to Roatan Island, Costa Maya, Cozumel, and Harvest Caye, NCL’s bespoke resort-style destination.
Designed in conjunction with its sister ship, Norwegian Aqua, due for delivery in March 2025, Luna is a product of the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri’s collaboration with prestigious design firms such as AD Associates and Studio Dado. The vessel measures a substantial 1,056 feet in length and has a gross tonnage of 156,300, accommodating approximately 3,550 guests at double occupancy. This represents a significant 10 per cent increase in size and capacity compared to the Prima class predecessors, Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva.
Luna is set to revolutionise at-sea entertainment with its distinctive offerings. Notably, it will feature the Aqua Slidecoaster, a hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide set to debut on Aqua, becoming the longest and fastest slides found at sea. Another highlight is the Glow Court, a digital sports complex that transforms into a vibrant nightclub in the evenings, thereby enhancing recreational and entertainment options for guests.
Accommodation aboard Norwegian Luna will feature innovations such as the Three-Bedroom Duplex Haven Suites, a first for NCL. These suites are part of ‘The Haven by Norwegian’, a keycard-access-only complex offering exclusivity and luxury. The two-storey suites are designed with separate living and dining areas, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a private balcony.
Norwegian Luna is also poised to enrich the culinary landscape onboard. Guests will have access to the Prima Plus class’s new dining experiences, including ‘Sukhothai’, a Thai specialty restaurant offering traditional and innovative dishes, and the ‘Indulge Food Hall’, which includes ten distinct food stations, featuring a plant-based option called Planterie.
These advancements affirm NCL’s commitment to delivering enhanced cruising experiences.
