Norwegian Cruise Line is expanding service to Cuba with the additional of Port Canaveral cruises from next year.
The 1,936-passenger Norwegian Sun will homeport in Central Florida for summer 2018 with weekly all-inclusive four-night cruises to Key West and Havana each Monday.
The first voyage is scheduled for May 7, 2018.
It alternates with Friday three-might sailings to the Bahamas, including Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay.
"Our all-inclusive model aboard Norwegian Sky has been very well-received, and as we evaluated the opportunity to expand upon that concept, we felt that Port Canaveral was the ideal location to offer our guests a value-rich on board experience and exciting action-packed ports-of-call, including an overnight call in Havana, Cuba," said Andy Stuart, president and CEO for Norwegian Cruise Line.
In its place, the larger Norwegian Jewel heads to Alaska in May 2018.
