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.
From early June the Jewel will offer alternating departures from Vancouver and Seaward, including seven-day Inside Passage Alaska sailings calling at Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan.
