Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has officially taken delivery of its newest cruise ship, Norwegian Luna, during a ceremony held at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera.
The vessel is the second ship in the Prima Plus Class and brings NCL’s total fleet to 21 ships. Norwegian Luna can accommodate 3,565 passengers across 1,809 cabins, offering a wide range of onboard experiences designed to elevate the modern cruising experience.
Guests onboard will have access to 17 restaurants and 18 bars and lounges, alongside a variety of entertainment attractions including the Aqua Slidecoaster, Luna Midway amusement park, and the Luna Game Zone.
Following its delivery, Norwegian Luna will embark on a transatlantic voyage from Civitavecchia to the United States, before arriving in Miami for its official naming ceremony scheduled for March 27.
Beginning in 2026, the ship will homeport in Miami, offering three- and four-day voyages to The Bahamas and seven-day Caribbean cruises, including visits to NCL’s newly revamped private island, Great Stirrup Cay.
From April 2027, Norwegian Luna will begin sailing from New York City, offering four- to seven-day voyages to Bermuda.

He added: “This ship represents the continued evolution of our vision and the incredible work behind an award-winning class of ships. We are deeply appreciative of the world-class architects and designers, as well as our talented partners at Fincantieri who brought Norwegian Luna to life.
