The 21st ship in NCL’s impressive fleet, Norwegian Luna promises to be a vessel like no other, featuring cutting-edge innovations and creative design elements that embody the spirit of exploration. Open for sale now, Norwegian Luna will embark on **seven-day Caribbean voyages** from **Miami**, cruising to some of the most stunning tropical destinations. The sister ship to **Norwegian Aqua™**, set to debut in **2025**, Norwegian Luna is designed to deliver an elevated cruise experience with a focus on luxury, adventure, and immersive guest experiences. According to **David J. Herrera**, president of Norwegian Cruise Line, “The debut of Norwegian Luna truly showcases our ongoing commitment to providing guests more of what they enjoy and value—a brand-new ship with the latest, innovative offerings sailing to the beautiful, tropical destinations of the Caribbean.” ## Sailing the Caribbean Aboard Norwegian Luna: Destinations and Itineraries [NCL](https://www.ncl.com/)’s Norwegian Luna will sail **roundtrip Caribbean itineraries from Miami**, offering guests a chance to explore some of the most beautiful and culturally rich destinations in the region. Its inaugural season, starting in **April 2026**, includes two key routes: - **Western Caribbean Voyages**: These seven-day cruises will take guests to **Roatan Island, Honduras**, the vibrant ports of **Costa Maya** and **Cozumel** in Mexico, and the exclusive **Harvest Caye** in Belize, NCL’s private resort-style destination. - **Eastern Caribbean Voyages**: The second itinerary will highlight the stunning islands of the **Eastern Caribbean**, including stops at **Puerto Plata**, **Tortola**, **St. Thomas**, and **Great Stirrup Cay**, NCL’s private island in the Bahamas, which will feature a **new pier** by late 2025. ![Norwegian Luna](https://blog.swblack.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Norwegian%20Luna.jpg?width=1280&height=720&name=Norwegian%20Luna.jpg) With its **3,550-passenger capacity**, Norwegian Luna is a slightly larger version of its predecessors, **Norwegian Prima** and **Norwegian Viva**, making it one of the most luxurious and spacious ships in the fleet. Whether exploring the Western or Eastern Caribbean, passengers aboard Norwegian Luna will experience unforgettable destinations paired with the latest in cruise innovation. ## Norwegian Luna’s Design: A Collaboration with ELLE One of the most exciting features of Norwegian Luna is its **stunning hull art**, designed by acclaimed street artist **ELLE**. Known for her bold and imaginative creations, ELLE’s design for Norwegian Luna, titled **"La Luna,"** was inspired by the **moonlight reflecting on the sea**. The vibrant artwork symbolises humanity’s connection with the celestial forces, creating a dreamscape that enhances the ship’s overall aesthetic and sets it apart as a work of art on the water. “I’m thrilled to partner with Norwegian Cruise Line,” said ELLE. “It’s been an incredible experience crafting this piece, and knowing my 1,056-foot piece of artwork will sail across the seas for all to see is truly an honour.” ELLE’s contribution continues NCL’s tradition of incorporating striking, one-of-a-kind **hull art** across its fleet, adding an artistic touch to Norwegian Luna’s innovative design. ## Onboard Experiences: Innovation Meets Luxury Norwegian Luna will mirror the upscale design and innovative features of **Norwegian Aqua**, while offering new, exhilarating attractions that are sure to captivate guests. The ship will be equipped with the **Aqua Slidecoaster**, the longest and fastest hybrid **rollercoaster and waterslide** at sea, set to debut on Norwegian Aqua in 2025. This thrilling attraction features dual slides with a **magnetic lift** propelling guests through twisting turns around the ship’s funnel. In addition to the Aqua Slidecoaster, Norwegian Luna will offer a range of interactive activities, including the **Glow Court**, a digital sports complex that transforms into a vibrant nightclub in the evening. Guests will also enjoy returning favourites like **The Drop**, the **10-story free-fall slide**, and the **Stadium**, a complimentary outdoor activity space. For those seeking relaxation and luxury, Norwegian Luna will boast the **Three-Bedroom Duplex Haven Suites**, part of the exclusive **The Haven by Norwegian®** complex. These luxurious, two-story suites will feature **separate living and dining areas**, **three bathrooms**, and an expansive balcony, ensuring guests have a private, opulent experience. **Haven guests** will continue to enjoy **24-hour butler service**, access to a **private sundeck**, and a suite of exclusive amenities. Norwegian Luna will also bring back some of the most beloved features from the Prima Plus Class, including the **46,000 square-foot Ocean Boulevard**, the adults-only **Vibe Beach Club**, and the tranquil **Infinity Beach**. These spaces are designed to bring guests closer to the ocean, offering sweeping views and plenty of opportunities to unwind in style. ## World-Class Dining and Entertainment: A Culinary Journey Norwegian Luna will take NCL’s **culinary offerings** to new heights, featuring a variety of **signature and specialty dining venues** that cater to a range of tastes.
