Norwegian Cruise Line Unveils Nearly 500 Voyages Across the Globe For 2027 Travel Season

Norwegian Cruise Line unveils its extensive fleet for the peak spring and summer 2027 travel period, offering travellers nearly 500 voyages from 20 ships, departing from 30 top ports worldwide, including Rome (Civitavecchia), Southampton, Helsinki, Istanbul, Copenhagen, and Reykjavik.

From April to October 2027, NCL’s fleet will visit over 150 ports in 59 countries, with more time ashore including over 170 overnight stays in iconic destinations such as Istanbul, Reykjavik, and Copenhagen. Whether planning a short getaway or a longer adventure, the new deployment provides more opportunities for guests to make the most of the prime travel season.

“With our most expansive deployment yet, we’re giving Indian guests even more ways to explore the world—with itineraries now open from 2025 through 2027,” said Ben Angell, Vice President and Managing Director of NCL APAC. “From more ways to enjoy an exhilarating Alaska holiday to more seven-day Mediterranean and Northern Europe sailings,, we’re delivering more of what matters to our guests: longer port stays, more overnight calls, more value and greater flexibility to create the perfect cruise holiday.”

“We’re proud to be the cruise line of choice for travellers 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.”
