Norwegian Spirit’s Sydney season has wrapped up, and the ship is now on her way to the South Pacific— but she will return to the city later this year for what will be her biggest Australian season to date.
Norwegian Cruise Line says it was a highly successful season, citing strong booking momentum and unprecedented engagement from Australian and Kiwi travel agents.
“Norwegian Spirit has resonated exceptionally well with Australian and New Zealand travellers seeking a calm, adult-friendly cruise experience that is truly unique,” says Ben Angell, NCL vp and md APAC.
“The strength of trade support and forward demand underscores the distinct role Norwegian Spirit now plays locally.”
. . . Summer 26/27
Norwegian Spirit’s coming summer season will be NCL’s biggest local deployment to date.
Angell say it will have the most Sydney departures the cruise line has ever offered, as well as more round-trip sailings ex Sydney, and the intro duction of NCL’s first four-night Tasmania itineraries. All of these voyages, he adds, are designed to also appeal to the Kiwi market.
Forward bookings for the 2026/27 season are tracking strongly, adds NCL, supported by ‘solid early demand and exceptional trade engagement’.
As such the cruise line is encouraging agents to secure bookings early, particularly on the highly sought-after four-night and round-trip sailings ex Sydney.
The expanded program will feature 10 departures, including the four-night Tasmanian Taster cruises, a festive 14-day Australia & New Zealand cruise sailing round trip ex Sydney on 23 Dec and 11-day roundtrip wine-focused Australia voyages.
There will also be open jaw Sydney–Auckland itineraries, adds NCL. See more details HERE.
