As the latest ship in the Company's fleet, Norwegian Luna offers a wide range of onboard experiences for every type of traveler and be the newest ship to call to the Caribbean with itineraries that visit both of NCL's resort-style destinations, Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas and Harvest Caye in Belize.Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/norwegian_cruise_line/9361352-en-norwegian-cruise-line-christens-norwegian-luna"Norwegian Luna represents the evolution of NCL — a brand built on freedom, flexibility and delivering experiences that resonate with every type of traveler," said Marc Kazlauskas, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. "Curated to deliver attractions for families with the NCL-exclusive Aqua Slidecoaster, and the all-new Moon Climber and Luna Midway activities; as well as adult-only experiences like the late-night production of 'LunaTique™,' Norwegian Luna is the perfect ship for multigenerational travelers looking for a warm vacation in the tropics. With itineraries designed to bring guests to Great Stirrup Cay, our private island in the Bahamas, they will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the highly anticipated offerings that our guests are raving about."With over 2,000 guests in attendance, the beloved christening ceremony – rooted in the maritime tradition of blessing a vessel before it officially begins its life at sea – took place at the Company's LEED® Gold Certified terminal at PortMiami. Featuring a special appearance from Norwegian Luna's godmother and hull artist, ELLE, the event concluded with the ceremonial breaking of the bottle across the ship's hull, bestowing blessings and safe travels for all who sail upon her."The christening of Norwegian Luna marks an important milestone for our Company and a moment of great pride for our entire team," said John W. Chidsey, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. "I look forward to the remarkable experiences she will deliver and to the exciting future ahead for our brand and our guests."In addition to her role at today's christening ceremony, ELLE, Norwegian Luna's godmother and renowned street artist, created the ship's signature hull artwork – a vivid dreamscape titled 'La Luna.' Designed ahead of Norwegian Luna's maiden voyage, the piece explores humanity's enduring relationship with the cosmos and its innate connection to the moon's rhythmic pull."Celebrating Norwegian Luna as the ship's godmother is an incredible honor, and creating 'La Luna' has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career," said ELLE, godmother and hull artist of Norwegian Luna. "The moon has always symbolized connection, rhythm and transformation, forces that mirror the journeys we take in our own lives. I hope every guest feels a sense of wonder and possibility as Norwegian Luna carries them toward new horizons." At 1,056 feet long with a guest capacity of 3,565, Norwegian Luna boasts the intentional design and wide-open spaces of the Prima Class with a variety of experiences that offer guests opportunities to curate their vacations exactly how they want.

The guest-favorite Syd Norman's Pour House returns with a new show "A Tribute to Eagles™," an unforgettable production spotlighting the music of one of the best American bands of all time, playing on the mainstage in the Luna Theater and Club. "LunaTique™" makes its debut on Norwegian Luna as an exclusive late-night experience for guests 21 and older at The Improv at Sea. Inspired by the energy and allure of Las Vegas nights, the show blends bold visuals, specialty cocktails, and character-driven performances in an intimate setting. Additionally, "Sea of Discovery! An Under-the-Sea Festival," is a first-of-its-kind original experience developed in-house and curated specifically for children and is inspired by nostalgic field day activities with glow games, whimsical costumes, awe-inspiring visuals.Norwegian Luna features a diverse range of accommodations including solo, inside, oceanview and balcony staterooms, as well as suites in The Haven by Norwegian®, NCL's exclusive ship-within-a-ship complex with a private restaurant, bar and lounge.
