By: - January 10th, 2017

Norwegian Cruise Line’s next new ship, Norwegian Bliss, will homeport in Miami beginning in the winter of 2018, the company announced.

Beginning Nov. 17, 2018, Norwegian Bliss will sail seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruises each Saturday from PortMiami, including calls in St. Thomas, Tortola and Nassau.

“We are incredibly excited to announce that we are once again bringing our newest and most innovative ship to Miami, with the arrival of Norwegian Bliss in November 2018,” said Andy Stuart, President and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line. “As the Caribbean is our most sought-after winter destination, there was no question that Norwegian Bliss would sail from Miami. This incredibly dynamic ship will offer stunning ocean views from almost every venue, spacious and thoughtfully designed accommodations that fit with every cruiser’s needs, and a variety of exciting and engaging venues that will continue Norwegian’s history of innovation in providing the ultimate dining and entertainment experiences at sea.”

The new ship will be highlighted by a 180-degree Observation Lounge, located at the front of the ship, which will offer floor-to-ceiling windows in a 20,000-square-foot space.

“PortMiami is proud to be recognized as the Cruise Capital of the World, welcoming more passengers than any other port in the world,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez. “I welcome Norwegian Cruise Line’s continued growth in Miami-Dade County.  Cruise lines and their passengers are vital to the continual economic growth and development of the tourism industry in our community.  We look forward to welcoming the Norwegian Bliss in Winter 2018.”
