Norwegian Cruise Line Ships Leave US Layup and Head to the Caribbean and Europe

 

Norwegian Cruise Lines move ships for pause.
Norwegian Encore One Of  Many Norwegian Cruise Lines Ships Shuffled in August

In a strange move of events Norwegian Cruise Line has relocated their ships away from the United States shores in search of cheaper lay-ups and calmer weather. 

On August 1st, the Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Encore and Norwegian Spirit departed Norfolk between 9:15 AM and 10:30 AM. The Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore headed north toward Canada to avoid a hurricane. Sailing off the coast of Aquaforte Canada, in a surprising move, the Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore headed east toward Denmark. Sailing about 2-3 nautical miles the entire crossing the ships arrived in Europe on August 12.  Today the ships are alongside in Copenhagen Denmark.

The Norwegian Spirit after departing from Norfolk immediately started sailing west toward the Mediterranean. In a surprising event, the Norwegian Dawn, which departed Miami on July 31, met the Norwegian Spirit in the Atlantic and the two ships sailed to Siracusa Italy on August 14. 

It appears that Norwegian Cruise Line is aligning their ships in Europe since today Europe has the most potential to resume cruising before the United States.

The Norwegian Cruise Line ships which were laid up in Jacksonville Florida.are now in Curacao. The Norwegian Gem is docked at a cruise terminal while the  Norwegian Sky and Norwegian Sun are docked at oil refineries. The ships were reportedly moved to the southern Caribbean to avoid future hurricanes.

Also located in Curacao is NCL sister brand's Oceana Cruises' Insignia also docked at an oil refinery.

At this point, no cruise line has announced any plans to resume cruising from the port of  New York and New Jersey.

Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Escape Heads to Singapore.

Image
    Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Escape Heading From Manila to Singapore. Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Escape repatriated crew home to the Philippines. The ship has been in Manila harbor for months but is now on the move to Singapore - it is unclear whether she has a full crew as she heads west.  The Norwegian Escape is expected to arrive in Singapore on August 21. Singapore has substantial facilities for ship repair and renovation so it is unclear if the call is to refuel, enter drydock or just to remain local for Asia cruises. The Norwegian Escape was a fixture in the New York to Bermuda Cruise circuit in 2019, calling weekly during the spring / summer / fall, to the island nation. In addition, the Norwegian Escape conducted cruises to New England and Canada as well as Florida and the Bahamas. Stay tuned to NYCruiseInfo to find out what's next for the Norwegian Escape.
