I'm Miguel Trinidad, a Certified Cruise Counsellor in West Orange. Norwegian sails from New York almost all year now: Bliss in the winter, then the brand-new Luna from April 2027. I help North Jersey travelers pick the ship, the cabin and the week.

Norwegian trains travel advisors through NCL University, and I've completed its Master's Degree level. It's listed on my public Travel Leaders profile.
The training covers the fleet and the fine print. For Luna, I also have my own notes from walking the ship.
Based on what NCL has on sale as of September 2026. Getting there, parking and the terminal itself are on Cruises from Manhattan.
8-night Bahamas round trips (Port Canaveral, Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau) alternating with 12-night Caribbean round trips (Tortola, San Juan, St. Thomas, Puerto Plata, St. Kitts and St. Maarten). In late March and early April 2027 it switches to Bermuda, then leaves New York on April 9 for the Panama Canal. Bliss is back in New York from November 8, 2027.
Luna's New York debut is a 4-night Bermuda trip on April 6, 2027. Then come weekly 7-night Bermuda sailings on Saturdays through August 21, and 5-night Bermuda sailings from August 28 to October 7. Every one docks at Royal Naval Dockyard.
A few NCL ships start a one-way voyage in New York: Norwegian Sun to Miami on October 24, 2026, Norwegian Gem across the Atlantic to Italy on April 13, 2027, and Norwegian Prima to San Juan on November 3, 2027.
Winter Caribbean or summer Bermuda? Tell me who's coming and when you can get away. I'll match the ship, the sailing and the cabin, same fare as booking direct.
Match me to a sailing →I toured Norwegian Luna in Miami in 2026. That was a ship visit, not a sailing, and I treat it that way. It felt like a genuine multigenerational ship, strong enough that I'd confidently put a couple, a family of six or a solo traveler on it.
The full write-up: Norwegian Luna review: first impressions and who it's right for.
Not from New Jersey itself. Norwegian's New York sailings leave from the Manhattan Cruise Terminal on the West Side, per NCL's New York port page. From North Jersey that means the Lincoln Tunnel or a train into the city.
Norwegian Bliss. From November 1, 2026 to April 9, 2027 it runs 8-night Bahamas and 12-night Caribbean round trips from New York, then a few Bermuda trips in late March and early April.
April 6, 2027, with a 4-night Bermuda trip. After that, Luna sails 7-night Bermuda round trips every Saturday through August 21, then 5-night Bermuda trips through October 7, 2027, per NCL's booking data as of September 2026.
Not yet. I toured Luna in Miami after it joined the fleet in 2026, and the review says it was a tour. I did not see the Haven on that visit, so I will tell you plainly what I know first-hand and what I do not.
Usually not. You generally pay the same fare as booking direct. We compare ships, cabins and dates with you, watch for price changes before final payment, and help if something goes wrong.
We do not charge fees for most standard travel bookings. Complex itineraries or group coordination may include a planning fee, which will be disclosed upfront.
