Norwegian Cruise Line has officially christened Norwegian Luna, its newest vessel, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s continued expansion in global cruise travel. The ceremony took place in Miami, bringing together over 2,000 guests to celebrate the ship’s debut.

The christening ceremony followed maritime tradition, including the ceremonial breaking of a bottle against the ship’s hull to bless the vessel for safe journeys. The event also featured Norwegian Luna’s godmother and renowned street artist ELLE, who created the ship’s signature hull artwork titled “La Luna,” inspired by the connection between humanity and the cosmos.

Marc Kazlauskas, President of Norwegian Cruise Line, said, “Norwegian Luna represents the evolution of NCL, a brand built on freedom, flexibility and delivering experiences that resonate with every type of traveler.” He highlighted the ship’s mix of family-friendly attractions and adult-exclusive experiences designed for multigenerational travel.

Measuring 1,056 feet in length and accommodating up to 3,565 guests, Norwegian Luna offers a wide range of onboard experiences. These include the Aqua Slidecoaster, the longest and fastest slides at sea, along with attractions like the Glow Court, Luna Game Zone, and Horizon Park. New additions such as Luna Midway and Moon Climber further enhance its appeal for families and groups.

Entertainment onboard includes productions like “Elton: A Celebration of Elton John,” a tribute to the legendary Elton John, as well as immersive shows like “HIKO: Innovation Meets Wonder” and “LunaTique,” a late-night experience inspired by Las Vegas-style performances.

The ship also features a wide range of accommodations, from solo cabins to luxury suites in The Haven by Norwegian, along with 17 dining venues offering global cuisines and 18 bars and lounges catering to diverse tastes.

From April 2026 through April 2027, Norwegian Luna will sail round-trip Caribbean itineraries, visiting destinations such as Great Stirrup Cay and Harvest Caye. These resort-style destinations offer enhanced experiences, including waterparks, exclusive beach clubs, and immersive leisure activities.

Following its Miami season, the ship will operate from New York starting April 2027, offering round-trip cruises to Bermuda with extended port stays for a more immersive travel experience.

With Norwegian Luna, Norwegian Cruise Line continues to push the boundaries of cruise travel, offering a blend of innovation, entertainment, and destination-driven experiences for travellers worldwide.
