The vessel will also undertake 6 Southeast Asia itineraries between Singapore and Hong Kong, calling at ports in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
From December 2027 to April 2028, the Norwegian Spirit will be deployed across Australia and New Zealand. Sailing from Singapore, Sydney, and Auckland, its itineraries will range from 8 to 21 days. The season is noted for including the line’s first visit to Esperance, Western Australia, along with an overnight call in Fremantle. Multiple overnight calls in Melbourne and one in Adelaide are also planned. The deployment features extended back-to-back voyages, such as a 35-day journey combining itineraries in Australia and Indonesia.
It was further stated that Norwegian Cruise Line will continue its year-round Hawaii program through March 2028, with the Pride of America offering 7-day inter-island cruises from Honolulu, including overnight calls in Maui and Kauai.
Concurrent with this deployment announcement, the line is promoting a commercial offer that includes an onboard credit incentive and its Free at Sea package, which provides amenities such as a beverage package and Wi-Fi.
