PortMiami welcomed Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Luna on March 27. The ship will homeport in Miami through March 2027 and return for the fall/winter 2027–2028 season.

Delivered earlier this month, the 1,056-foot ship accommodates 3,565 guests and features the Aqua Slidecoaster and Luna Midway outdoor amusement area.

“Friday’s milestone underscores PortMiami’s enduring partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., a company with deep roots in Miami,” said Daniella Levine Cava. “As a hometown cruise leader, Norwegian’s continued investment reflects a shared commitment to innovation, economic growth, and exceptional guest experiences. The arrival of Norwegian Luna further reinforces PortMiami’s role as a global cruise hub and a proud partner to one of the industry’s most established brands.”

Norwegian Luna will sail three- and four-day Bahamas cruises and seven-day Eastern Caribbean itineraries. From April to October 2026, ports include Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and Great Stirrup Cay. Beginning November 2026, the ship will shift to Western Caribbean sailings with stops in Roatán, Cozumel, and Harvest Caye.
