Norwegian Cruise Line Unveils Its Next Cutting-Edge Vessel – The All-New Norwegian Luna™

Norwegian Cruise Line® (NCL) has once again redefined luxury sea travel with the unveiling of its latest addition to the Prima Plus Class: the spectacular Norwegian Luna™, set to debut in March 2026. Norwegian Luna, a sister ship to Norwegian Aqua™, promises to offer unparalleled experiences with cutting-edge amenities, innovative design, and celestial-inspired hull art. Norwegian Luna opens for sale today, offering seven-day Caribbean voyages from Miami, the cruise capital of the world, beginning April 2026.

A Sneak Peek at Norwegian Luna™ – Debuting in 2026

As the 21st ship in Norwegian’s cutting-edge fleet, Norwegian Luna™ continues the legacy of innovation and superior guest experiences. This remarkable vessel is nearly 322 meters long, weighs 156,300 gross tonnes, and can accommodate approximately 3,550 guests at double occupancy. With a 10% size and capacity increase from its Prima Class predecessors—Norwegian Prima® and Norwegian Viva®—Norwegian Luna will undoubtedly offer more space, luxury, and activities for its guests.

Caribbean Voyages: A Season of Sun and Sea

“Inspired by the relationship between the moon and the tides of the ocean, we are excited to introduce Norwegian Luna as the vessel that perfectly complements her sister ship, Norwegian Aqua,” said 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. It’s important to give our guests more to see, more to do, more to enjoy on board and ultimately more out of their cruise vacation. We can’t wait for them to experience Norwegian Luna!”  

“Norwegian Luna is the second vessel in our acclaimed Prima Plus Class, representing the continued evolution of our fleet. This Class offers everything Indian cruisers love – more space to relax, diverse dining options, upscale health & wellness facilities, and world-class entertainment venues,” said Ben Angell, Vice President and Managing Director, of Norwegian Cruise Line Asia-Pacific.  “With the launch of Norwegian Luna, we continue to deliver more opportunities for our guests to embark on the holiday of their dreams across a choice of 400+ destinations.” 

Bold Design Meets Artistry: Norwegian Luna’s Celestial Hull Art

What sets Norwegian Luna apart is its unique hull art, a stunning visual masterpiece created by celebrated street artist ELLE. Entitled ‘La Luna’, this celestial-themed artwork is inspired by the mystical connection between moonlight and the ocean’s tides, symbolizing the deep-rooted relationship between humanity and celestial forces. The luminous moonlight reflecting on the sea is a central motif in this design, adding a magical touch to the vessel’s exterior.

“I’m thrilled to partner with Norwegian Cruise Line which has been known for showcasing stunningly designed hull art across its entire fleet,” 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, traveling the globe for all to see.”  

A Sister Ship to Norwegian Aqua™: What to Expect Onboard

Mirroring the design and features of Norwegian Aqua™, set to launch in 2025, Norwegian Luna will boast some of the most innovative attractions at sea. One of its standout features is the Aqua Slidecoaster, a first-of-its-kind hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide that will thrill adventurous passengers. This three-story slide is set to become the longest and fastest at sea, propelling riders through exciting twists and turns around the ship’s funnel. Guests will also be treated to a digital sports complex—the Glow Court, which offers interactive activities by day and transforms into a lively nightclub by night.

Norwegian Luna’s offerings don’t stop there. The ship will also feature The Drop, NCL’s renowned 10-story free-fall slide, and the Stadium, an expansive outdoor space that provides complimentary activities for all guests. These attractions are just a glimpse of the ship’s exciting lineup, ensuring that every moment onboard Norwegian Luna is filled with entertainment and adventure.
