Wrapping up a 27-year sailing career, the Norwegian Sky is currently offering its farewell voyage for Norwegian Cruise Line.
Acquired by Cordelia Cruises in early 2025, the 1999-built vessel is set to be handed over to its new operator later this month.
For its final cruise, the ship is offering a nine-night cruise to the Mediterranean, which departed from Barcelona on August 31, 2026.
The itinerary features visits to destinations in Spain, France, Italy and Greece, including Villefranche, Livorno, Civitavecchia and Salerno.
Before ending the sailing in Piraeus on September 9, 2026, the Norwegian Sky will also visit Heraklion, Santorini and Mykonos.
The 2,000-passenger ship is then expected to sail to the Middle East ahead of its debut for Cordelia, which is scheduled for late October.
According to Norwegian’s original deployment plans for the final season, the Sky was also scheduled to offer a 23-night repositioning voyage to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The cruise was initially adjusted to avoid the Arabian Gulf but was ultimately cancelled due to security concerns in the region.
After being delivered to Cordelia Cruises, the vessel is scheduled to offer two- to five-night cruises to other Indian ports.
Renamed Cordelia Sky, the 77,104-ton ship is also set to offer cruises to Southeast Asia during its first year in Asia.
The Norwegian Sun is set to join its sister ship in late 2027, offering similar itineraries from Mumbai to other Indian ports.
