Norwegian Cruise Line is again shuffling its deployment, canceling more than 40 departures across two ships, a little more than six months after it canceled close to 80 sailings for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
According to CruiseFever.net, the canceled sailings were scheduled to depart between November 2026 and March 2027 onboard Norwegian Breakaway out of San Juan and Norwegian Prima out of New Orleans.
Instead of their originally scheduled deployments, the ships are swapping with Breakaway going to New Orleans and Prima going to San Juan. The itineraries on offer will remain the same.
Despite operating the same itineraries that guests were already booked on, for operational reasons and because the ships are not in the same class, reservations could not be switched from one ship to the other. As a result, all sailings on both ships have been canceled. Cruisers can rebook onto the new sailings starting Aug. 8, 2025.
For the inconvenience, Norwegian Cruise Line is giving all guests booked on one of the canceled sailings a full refund and a 10% Future Cruise Credit. (For reservations that were paid via an FCC, 100% of the FCC will be automatically re-applied to cruisers’ Latitudes accounts within 10 days of cancellation.)
