Separately, NCL announced that for the first time in more than 11 years, it will homeport a ship seasonally at Port Canaveral, beginning October 2010. The 1,936-passenger Norwegian Sun will sail alternating seven-day Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral, departing every Saturday from Oct. 9, 2010 through April 16, 2011.
"As part of our homeland cruising initiative, we are always looking for attractive ports in which to base our ships," said Kevin Sheehan, NCL's president and CEO. "By bringing Norwegian Sun to Port Canaveral, we are offering cruisers in Central Florida and to those vacationing in Orlando quick and easy access to Freestyle Cruising. In addition, Port Canaveral offers our guests a wide range of pre- and post-cruise packages with the ability to visit a number of family attractions."
Norwegian Sun's seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruise will stop in Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten. The Western Caribbean cruises will call in Cozumel, Santo Tomás de Castilla (Guatemala), Belize City and Key West. Since there is no port repetition, the two itineraries can be combined.
NCL will also offer seven-day Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings from Miami on Norwegian Pearl from Oct. 10, 2010 through April 10, 2011. Western Caribbean sailings include Roatán, Belize City, Costa Maya and Key West. Eastern Caribbean sailings include Samaná, Dominican Republic; St. Thomas; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; and Great Stirrup Cay. These two itineraries can be combined.
Norwegian Dawn will sail alternating five-day Western Caribbean and nine-day Southern Caribbean cruises out of Miami, from Nov. 14, 2010 through April 22, 2011. Western Caribbean sailings include Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Southern Caribbean includes Samaná, Tortola, Antigua; Barbados; and St. Kitts. Norwegian Dawn's five- and nine-day sailings can be combined to create a 14-day Caribbean cruise.
Also from Miami, NCL has extended Norwegian Sky's three- and four- day cruises to the Bahamas through April 18, 2011. Four-day Bahamas cruises on Mondays include full-day stops in Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay. On Fridays, the ship sails a weekend getaway, three-day Bahamas itinerary, departing Miami at 5 p.m. with all-day stops in Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay, returning to Miami at 7 a.m. on Monday.
These cruises go on sale Feb. 12. Call me to book any of these cruises at (706) 579-5005.
