Norwegian Cruise Line Winter 2022-2023 Deployment Breakdown

Norwegian Cruise Line is planning a diversified winter season in 2022-2023 across the globe with its largest fleet ever.

After a COVID-related hiatus, South America and Australia are back, while the Caribbean sees the majority of the company’s fleet highlighted by the new Norwegian Prima.

In addition to Hawaii, which will see the Pride of America continuing its inter-islands itinerary, the brand is also set to maintain a year-round operation in Europe, with the Norwegian Sun marking the company’s return to the Canaries after five years.
