Norwegian Cruise Line Canceling More Cruises

Norwegian Cruise Line is canceling more 2025 and 2026 cruises. The cruise line has announced the cancellation of 35 more sailings due to “fleet redeployment.” This time aboard Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Encore and Norwegian Joy

Norwegian Bliss has 9 cruises cancelled from November 2025 through February 2026. The cancellations include a roundtrip sailing from Los Angeles,  a 15-night repositioning cruise to Miami, all sailings from Miami in early 2025 and the return trips to Los Angeles. 

Norwegian Breakaway has 10 cruises cancelled from January 6 through February 6, 2026. The vessel was to sail 3- to 4-night Bahamas itineraries from Port Canaveral during this time. Her sailings from New York before and after this month are still scheduled.

Norwegian Encore has 7 cruises canceled from November 2025 through January 2026. She was to sail from Los Angeles during this season. Both her repositioning cruises are canceled as well as all Mexican Riviera itineraries from the California port. 

Norwegian Joy has 9 cruises canceled from November 2025 through April 2026. The vessel is sailing from Port Canaveral during this season, but only the departure dates of November 29; December 13, 20, and 27; January 17; February 21 and 26; March 3; and April 11 are canceled. The sailings are a mix of Caribbean, Bahamas and Nassau itineraries, except the April 11 sailing. That departure was Norwegian Joy’s 23-night repositioning cruise to Seattle before she began her Alaskan season. The ship is still scheduled to begin her Alaskan season on May 13, 2026.

As with the other recent cancellations aboard Norwegian Jewel, Norwegian Star and Norwegian Dawn, guests will receive a full refund of the cruise fare to their original form of payment. Guests will also receive a 10% discount in the form of future cruise credit (FCC). Guests can use this refund and 10% FCC discount to select a different Norwegian Cruise Line sailing replacing their canceled cruise.
