Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the world's fourth-largest cruise operator, is set to expand with the introduction of its second next-generation Prima Plus class vessel. The Norwegian Luna will debut in spring 2026, sailing out of Miami to the Caribbean, accommodating 3,550 passengers. This ship is a sister vessel to Norwegian Aqua, scheduled for delivery in March 2025. Norwegian Luna will feature innovative new-to-brand offerings, including the world's first hybrid coaster. The ship is being constructed at Italy's Fincantieri shipyard and is 10% larger than earlier Prima class ships.
Norwegian Luna will also debut a design inspired by the relationship between the moon and ocean tides, with vibrant hull art created by Californian street artist Elle.
Norwegian Luna promises a wide array of activities, including a world-first hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide known as the Aqua Slidecoaster, which includes dual slides and a magnetic lift for an exhilarating ride. Top deck experiences will also feature the 10-storey free-fall slide called The Drop.
Additionally, passengers will enjoy expanded outdoor spaces like the 46,000-square-foot Ocean Boulevard, a wraparound walkway complete with Oceanwalk glass bridges. The ship will also have Infinity Beach, where pools overlook each side of the vessel. Other attractions include the adult-only Vibe Beach Club and various water-based experiences.
The Norwegian Luna will offer a variety of dining options. New venues on the Prima Plus class ships include the Thai specialty restaurant Sukhothai and a diverse food hall with 10 stations, including a plant-based option called Planterie. Returning signature venues include Cagney's Steakhouse, the French-inspired Le Bistro, and Onda by Scarpetta, an Italian dining experience. Bars and lounges will include Metropolitan, NCL’s "Sail & Sustain" cocktail bar, serving biodynamic wines and sustainably produced liquors.
The ship will feature some of the most spacious accommodations in the NCL fleet, including inside, oceanview, and balcony staterooms. It will also cater to solo travellers with dedicated solo staterooms, including inside, oceanview, and balcony categories.
One of the ship's standout features will be the three-bedroom Duplex Haven Suites in NCL’s Haven by Norwegian, an all-suite ship-within-a-ship complex. The Haven will house 123 suites in total, offering amenities such as a 24-hour butler service, an infinity pool, hot tubs, an outdoor spa, and a private lounge and bar. The suites include separate living and dining areas, three bathrooms, and a large balcony with panoramic views.
