Norwegian Cruise Line made several changes to its North American fleet rotation. The line will send the Norwegian Sun from New Orleans to Miami in October, move the Norwegian Spirit from New York to New Orleans in November and assign the Norwegian Gem, which debuts in October, to New York beginning in December to sail to the Bahamas and Florida.
In Hawaii, NCL America will lose two ships. The Norwegian Wind will be transferred to parent company Star Cruises' Asia fleet. The Pride of Hawaii will be moved to the European market and be renamed the Norwegian Jade. Starting in September, the Pride of Aloha will operate 10- and 11-day interisland Hawaii itineraries, with every fourth sailing including a call at Fanning Island in Kiribati.
