SINGAPORE, 15 October 2026: Norwegian Cruise Line has opened bookings for two inaugural Mediterranean sailings aboard Norwegian Aura.
The new voyages, made possible by the ship’s anticipated early delivery, offer guests their first chance to sail aboard Norwegian Aura, NCL’s newest and largest ship, beginning 2 May 2027.
Norwegian Aura’s inaugural Mediterranean sailings include a 10-day voyage from Trieste, Italy, to Athens (Piraeus), Greece, departing 2 May 2027, and a nine-day voyage from Athens (Piraeus), Greece, to Trieste, Italy, departing 12 May 2027.
The 10-day itinerary will call at Dubrovnik and Split, Croatia; Bar, Montenegro; and Corfu, Santorini, and Mykonos, Greece, while the nine-day sailing will visit Rhodes, Mykonos, Santorini, and Corfu, Greece; Bar, Montenegro; and Split and Zadar, Croatia. Together, the newly released voyages let travellers be among the first to experience Norwegian Aura during her inaugural season while visiting bucket-list Mediterranean ports.
Norwegian Aura will be NCL’s largest and longest ship to date, measuring nearly 1,130 feet long and weighing approximately 170,000 gross tons. The ship will be 10% larger than Norwegian Aqua® and Norwegian Luna® and will feature Ocean Heights, a first-in-the-fleet outdoor activities complex spanning decks 18 through 21.
After two inaugural Mediterranean sailings, Norwegian Aura will sail an additional seven-day Mediterranean voyage from Trieste, Italy, to Barcelona, Spain, on 21 May 2027, calling at Valletta, Malta; Salerno, Italy; and Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy.
The ship will then sail a 13-day transatlantic voyage from Barcelona to Miami before beginning seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruises from Miami from June through October 2027, with calls to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; and Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island destination.
In winter 2027/28, Norwegian Aura will offer seven-day Western Caribbean voyages to Roatan (Islas de la Bahía), Honduras; Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico; and Harvest Caye, NCL’s resort-style destination in Belize.
