Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has released details of its winter 2027/28 deployment and the return of its guest-favorite Free at Sea Plus package offering more unlimited amenities, including premium beverages, streaming Wi-Fi, Starbucks® and more.

From September 2027 through April 2028, guests can choose from itineraries ranging from two to 22 days, calling at 144 unique destinations across 47 countries.

With a strong focus on the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Bermuda, the Mexican Riviera, Asia, as well as Australia and New Zealand, this deployment offers unparalleled opportunities for discovery.

Designed for deeper exploration, it features an average port time of 9.5 hours, 71 late departures across 31 unique ports and 70 overnight stays, giving travellers more time to immerse themselves in the culture and vibrancy of each destination.

Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., said: “We’re thrilled to unveil our new immersive winter season, giving travelers the ultimate freedom to create their own adventure. Whether it’s an exotic Asia voyage, a quick Bahamas escape or a sun-soaked Caribbean getaway, our itineraries are designed for flexibility and choice.”

Sommer continued: “With longer port stays, overnight calls, and our award-winning onboard experiences, guests can explore at their own pace and personalize every moment at ease. Plus, many of our Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries will visit our exclusive private island destination, Great Stirrup Cay, which will feature a new pier, an oversized heated pool, and the Great Tides Waterpark.”

And he added: “With the return of Free at Sea Plus, guests will enjoy even greater value and convenience, making it easier than ever to relax and focus on what truly matters – reconnecting with those who matter most.”
