Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel for nearly 59 years, unveils nearly 50 new voyages of its 2027/2028 season to trending destinations across Asia Pacific including Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand and Hawai’i.

“This new season of voyages is all about choice, discovery and flexibility,” said Ben Angell, vice president and managing director of NCL APAC. “With three ships, eight departure ports and nearly 50 itineraries, we’re expanding the ways guests can cruise across Asia, Australia, New Zealand and to Hawai’i.
