NCL Introduces Port-Intensive European Cruises for 2026

Norwegian Cruise Line has launched an expanded range of cruises for the spring/summer season of 2026. This includes a more a diverse selection of Europe sailings that emphasise in-depth exploration of Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Greek Isles across eight ships. These cruises offer various journey lengths and starting ports, enabling travellers to plan their ultimate European holiday.

Additionally, NCL’s lineup features must-see itineraries traversing the South Pacific, summer trips in the warm Western Caribbean, and autumn cruises to Canada and New England, among other destinations.

With a focus on enhancing guest experiences through thoughtful itinerary planning, NCL now provides an increased number of seven-day European cruises. Many of these itineraries are designed with few or no days at sea, granting passengers more time to delve into each destination.

Highlighting the offering are select sailings between seven to 14 days that include overnight stops in sought-after cities like Reykjavik, Iceland; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Istanbul, Turkey, to name a few.

This season, NCL features 22 overnight stays in Europe, giving guests the chance to savour evening dining and nightlife ashore. Boasting 11 distinctive starting ports scattered across 10 European countries, with Helsinki debuting as a new homeport for the company, NCL presents travellers with ample choices to kick off and conclude their European journey in a preferred location. In a move to enhance its European cruise offerings, NCL will also make inaugural visits to Portree, Scotland; Leirvik (Stord), Norway; and Palamós, Spain.
