Great Stirrup Cay, the cruise line's highest-rated Bahamian port, will get a makeover starting in late 2025. The improvements include the construction of a multi-ship pier, ensuring guaranteed island access for passengers.
A new tram system will provide convenient transport across the private island. An oversized heated swimming pool will offer relaxation opportunities in the Caribbean sun.
The island will also feature expanded amenities mirroring popular shipboard experiences. These include an adults-only retreat complete with private cabanas for those looking to relax.
Families can also enjoy Horizon Park, a recreational area featuring lawn games and communal spaces.
Eight vessels will operate Caribbean and Bahamas routes, including the company's latest additions, Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Viva. Miami will serve as a key departure point, with Norwegian Viva offering select Caribbean sailings from April 18 to May 16, 2027, visiting both Harvest Caye and Great Stirrup Cay.
Norwegian Aqua will run week-long Caribbean journeys with Sunday departures from Miami and Port Canaveral in Orlando. The ship will make its first visits to Falmouth in Jamaica and George Town in the Cayman Islands.
Three ships will service Bermuda routes during a seven-month season. Norwegian Luna will debut in New York on April 6, 2027, becoming the newest contemporary segment vessel to operate from the port, offering five to seven-day Bermuda sailings.
European routes will also be served, mostly seven-day itineraries with weekend departures and arrivals. Ten embarkation ports will be available, including Barcelona, Rome's Civitavecchia, Athens' Piraeus, and Reykjavik.
The port-intensive schedules allocate over 90 per cent of time in destinations, averaging nearly 11 hours per stop. Overnight stays are scheduled in Istanbul, Copenhagen, and Hamburg, whilst late-night departures from Santorini, Dubrovnik, and Ibiza provide extended exploration opportunities.
