Norwegian Luna: Norwegian Cruise Line’s Next-Generation Ship Sets Sail in 2026

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is preparing to welcome its newest and most innovative ship yet — Norwegian Luna, set to debut in April 2026. As the second ship in the new Prima Plus Class, Luna builds upon the success of Norwegian Aqua, delivering more space, elevated experiences, and bold new features for cruisers seeking something extraordinary.

On March 15, 2025, Norwegian Luna officially floated out at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy, marking the completion of its external construction and bringing the vessel one step closer to its inaugural voyage.
