Norwegian: 22 ships, 1,723 departures, and the most evenly spread fleet on this site
Start with a figure you will not find anywhere else here. At Norwegian, from the first to the sixth ship, our calendar gives 145, 117, 110, 104, 102 and 100 departures. Elsewhere one ship often carries double the next, and sometimes more. Here no hull takes over. The concrete consequence for you: the choice is made on destination and date, not on a flagship you supposedly have to take.
What we carry, measured
Twenty-two ships in our inventory, 1,723 distinct departures across 538 dates and 657 routes, from 23 July 2026 to 29 April 2028. Not one of the twenty-two is without a departure with us, which is rare: on most fleets we carry, some hulls hold no dates at all.
Freestyle Cruising, and who it does not suit
It has been the house's stance since 2000, introduced aboard Norwegian Sky: no fixed dining hour, no assigned table, no strict dress code, and you go ashore at your own pace. If you want dinner at a set time, a table assigned for the week and a gala evening, this is not the house. It is not a shortfall, it is a decision, and an old one.
The house
Founded in 1966 by Norwegian Knut Kloster and Israeli Ted Arison, with a single ship, Sunward. It was then called Norwegian Caribbean Lines. Based in Miami, owned by Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings since the 2013 reorganisation.
The ships that carry the calendar
Norwegian Getaway leads with 145 records, ahead of Norwegian Viva with 117, Norwegian Bliss with 110 and Norwegian Epic with 104. Six hundred and fifty-seven routes for twenty-two ships: loops that repeat in the Caribbean, Alaska and the Mediterranean, with enough variants that two weeks are not identical. We will not say what the fare covers: the formula changes from one departure and market to the next, and we have not measured it. Ask for the written list of the exact departure.
