Norwegian Cruise Line made its long-awaited cruise comeback with a double debut.
Norwegian Jade the first of its 17-ship fleet to welcome guests again after a 500 days’ pause and also made NCL history as the first ship to homeport in Athens (Piraeus).
Norwegian Jade’s Greek Isles itinerary until November sees a new destination every day, such as Crete, Mykonos, Rhodes and Santorini.
"We are excited to embark on the great cruise comeback with a brand-new itinerary and homeport for our brand," said Harry Sommer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Norwegian Cruise Line.
Through 2023, NCL plans to position nine ships in the region, with Norwegian Dawn, Epic, Escape, Getaway, Gem, Jade and Star scheduled to sail in Greece.
"Norwegian Jade’s first Greek Isles voyages sold out shortly after we made the announcement that we were on our way back," said Sommer.
Following Norwegian Jade, Norwegian Encore will be the first ship to return to service from the US on 7 August, when she debuts in Seattle for her inaugural season of Alaska cruises.
