Norwegian Cruise Line To Launch Cruises From Philadelphia in 2026

The announcement came as part of Norwegian’s expanded lineup for the Spring/Summer 2026 season, which will see the company call on ports in 30 destinations across the Americas and Caribbean. The Philadelphia cruises stand as the first commercial cruises to depart from the city in more than a decade, even as Philly remains an iconic American travel destination for those seeking history, sports, or live music.

Passengers seeking more information can visit the dedicated page on Norwegian’s website for trip dates and costs for specific departures. Pricing starts at $1,197 per person, with free airfare offers for second guests standing as a current special available to early bookers.

“The Port of Philadelphia is extremely excited to partner with Norwegian Cruise Line, one of the world’s premier cruise lines,” Jeff Theobald, executive director and CEO of PhilaPort, said in the release. “Philadelphia has so much to offer, as the birthplace of freedom and the home to much of our nation’s history, we look forward to connecting cruisers with our world class city. This new service rounds out the portfolio of services offered at PhilaPort, and we look forward to this next phase of growth.”
