I know, it looks like Aussies will not be cruising overseas for some time, but our friends at Cruise Industry News published this list of when NCL ships will be sailing and I thought I would publish it just to give you some hope for cruising again soon, so here we go!
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings is starting cruise service for its trio of brands, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Regen Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises in June this year, but the Alaska season is most likely postponed to 2022.
Cruise Industry News looked at the expected first sailing of each Norwegian Cruise Line ship as the cruise industry gets back into service, with the data based on announced deployment, cruises for sale, but with all information subject to change due to the COVID-19 crisis.
