MIAMI — NCL is updating travel advisors and their clients on adjustments impacting passengers on several of NCL ships.
Cancellations are impacting a number of Norwegian Getaway’s Caribbean and Bahamas sailings from Port Canaveral from November 2026 to December 2026, as well as some of Norwegian Joy’s Bahamas sailings from Miami in December 2026 respectively.
Meanwhile select sailing dates for Norwegian Gem and Norwegian Dawn will have modified itineraries.
“We are committed to providing exceptional vacation experiences, both aboard our ships and by taking our guests to some of the most sought-out destinations around the world,” said an NCL spokesperson.
“While we try to maintain original itineraries as much as possible, at times modifications are made to optimize voyages to meet guest demand or due to changing port availability.
“From November 2026 to March 2027, Norwegian Gem and Norwegian Dawn will swap homeports, and offer modified and enhanced itineraries. Norwegian Gem will sail Caribbean and Bahamas cruises from Tampa, FL ranging from four to 11-day itineraries offering a wider variety of options for guests. Norwegian Dawn will sail shorter voyages to the Bahamas from Jacksonville, FL.
“With this new deployment, both ships will offer more calls to Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island in the Bahamas, giving guests more opportunities to enjoy the brand-new experiences transforming the island in 2026, from a sprawling, heated pool with swim-up bars and kids’ splash zones to the Great Tides Waterpark featuring 19 different waterslides, a dynamic river, cliffside jumps and so much more.
“Additionally, due to port availability, a few of Norwegian Getaway’s Caribbean and Bahamas sailings from Port Canaveral (Orlando), FL, as well as some of Norwegian Joy’s Bahamas sailings from Miami have been cancelled from November 2026 to December 2026, and December 2026 respectively.
“The new sailings will feature more immersive itineraries to the Caribbean and the Bahamas for guests looking for longer cruises during the holiday season.
“Our team is working diligently to open the new sailings for these four ships over the above mentioned timeframe, and they will be available to book in the near future.
“Affected guests will automatically receive a full monetary refund of the fare paid, and as a genuine acknowledgement of the inconvenience caused, we have extended a 10% discount in the form of a future cruise credit.”
