Norwegian Cruise Line Unveils Spring and Summer 2026 Voyages, Including New Sailings From Philadelphia

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced its exciting lineup of spring and summer 2026 voyages, marking a significant return to the Port of Philadelphia after many years. NCL will offer cruises to Bermuda, French Canada, and beyond, starting April 16, 2026, aboard the Norwegian Jewel.

The Norwegian Jewel will become the first ship to home port from Philadelphia, embarking on 7 to 9-day cruises to Bermuda, with sailings continuing through October 17, 2026. NCL stands out as the exclusive cruise line offering itineraries from Philadelphia during this period, with plans underway to establish a dedicated cruise facility at the SouthPort Marine Terminal Complex.

NCL’s newly released itineraries for spring and summer 2026 feature nearly 250 options across nine ships. Following its Bermuda season, the Norwegian Jewel will transition to cruises from Philadelphia to Canada and New England, offering 10 and 11-night voyages that include ports such as Saguenay, Charlottetown, Halifax, Bar Harbor, and Boston.

In addition to the Norwegian Jewel’s activities, the Norwegian Breakaway will commence regular turnarounds from Boston, starting with 7-day voyages to Bermuda and 7-day Canada and New England voyages from April through November. The Norwegian Aqua will also return for its second summer season sailing to Bermuda from New York City.

Further enhancing its offerings, the Norwegian Prima will extend its presence from Port Canaveral, Florida, providing 7-day itineraries to the Eastern and Western Caribbean throughout 2026.

For those seeking Alaskan adventures, NCL will operate itineraries from April to October with ships like the Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Joy, and Norwegian Jade sailing on 7 to 10-day journeys from Seattle, Whittier, and Vancouver.
