Our Fleet

With 18 world class vessels, Norwegian Cruise Line has one of the most nimble and contemporary fleets in the industry. Fifteen ships are divided among six different classes, including the Sun, Dawn, Jewel, Breakaway, Breakaway Plus Class, and Prima Class. Norwegian Epic, Pride of America and Norwegian Spirit are in their own classes, adding to the brand’s variety of vessels. 

In 2022, Norwegian Cruise Line welcomed Norwegian Prima into the fleet, the first ship of the next generation Prima Class, the most innovative and successful class in the Company’s history. The Company has placed an additional five ships on order from 2023 to 2028. The new class will build upon the brand’s legacy of freedom and flexibility found across its fleet and feature a host of cutting-edge designs that will further elevate its already award-winning guest experience.
