The ship’s 14-day voyage on Jan. 10, 2026 will visit: St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; St. John’s, Antigua; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; George Town, Grand Cayman; Cozumel, Mexico; and Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island in the Bahamas, which will soon debut a brand-new pier, a massive 28,000-square-foot heated pool with swim-up bars, a kid’s splash zone, an adults-only area and more.
