Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has unveiled additional South Pacific sailings aboard Norwegian Spirit for 2026 and 2027.
The programme features itineraries ranging from eight to 13 days, with sailings available through December 2026 and additional departures scheduled between April and December 2027.
According to NCL, demand for cruising in the South Pacific remains strong as travellers seek multi-destination holidays that combine island experiences, cultural attractions and leisure travel.
Among the itineraries is a 12-day voyage from Lautoka, Fiji, to Sydney departing on November 30, 2026. The sailing includes calls in Fiji, Vanuatu, Brisbane and Newcastle before arriving in Sydney.
Another seasonal itinerary departs Sydney on April 23, 2027, on an 11-day voyage visiting destinations in New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji, including Nouméa, Lifou, Port Vila, Mystery Island and several ports in Fiji.
NCL will also operate an eight-day round-trip cruise from Papeete in French Polynesia on selected dates in June and September 2027. The itinerary includes calls at Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, Raiatea and Moorea.
The cruises will be operated by Norwegian Spirit, which accommodates adult travellers and offers a range of dining, entertainment and leisure facilities.
The programme coincides with plans for new direct flights between Sydney and Papeete from December 2026, which are expected to improve access to fly-cruise holidays in French Polynesia and the wider South Pacific.
Ben Angell, managing director and vice president, Asia-Pacific, NCL, said: “Having sailed the South Pacific myself, I can confirm there’s nothing quite like travelling between these picture-perfect destinations by sea, and we are delighted to offer travellers even more opportunities to discover it during our extended 2026 and 2027 seasons.”
