About Norwegian Luna
Norwegian Luna joined the fleet in 2026 as the second Prima Plus ship, a lengthened take on the Prima design that it shares with Norwegian Aqua. The extra length makes room for more cabins, more dining and a bigger Haven, Norwegian’s private suite complex with its own pool deck, restaurant and lounge. Ocean Boulevard, the wide outdoor walkway that wraps around Deck 8, remains the signature, along with the Indulge Food Hall and the Infinity Beach pools that seem to spill into the sea. Norwegian scheduled its first season in the Caribbean from Miami, so expect week-long warm-weather routes.
Best for: Cruisers who want Norwegian’s most modern design, lots of outdoor space and flexible, no-set-time dining.

Sailing with Norwegian
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) built its identity on Freestyle Cruising: no fixed dinner times, no formal nights and a long list of restaurants you choose from each evening. Its big, modern ships add go-kart tracks, Broadway-style shows and The Haven, a private suite enclave. It suits independent-minded couples, groups and families who like flexibility, less so budget purists who dislike add-on charges.
