Norwegian Cruise Line has released its spring and summer 2027 deployment, featuring more than 500 voyages across 20 ships. Cruises will depart from nearly 30 homeports, including Miami, Seattle, New York City, Southampton, and Rome (Civitavecchia).

Sailing from April through October 2027, the itineraries cover over 150 ports in 59 countries and include more than 170 overnight stays in destinations such as Istanbul, Reykjavik, and Bermuda.

“We’re proud to be the cruise line of choice for travelers who want MORE out of their vacation – MORE freedom, MORE destinations and MORE unforgettable experiences,” said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. “Our spring and summer 2027 deployment clearly brings our promise to life, offering something for everyone. Whether guests are hopping between European cities nearly every day, taking in Alaska’s natural beauty from ships custom-built to bring the outdoors in, or kicking back on the beach with family and friends at one of our two resort-style destinations, there’s no shortage of ways to relax, explore, and create unforgettable memories. I’m especially excited about the all-new experiences coming to Great Stirrup Cay, our private island in the Bahamas, that will truly provide guests with a variety of options —it’s all about giving guests MORE of what they love.”
