Travelers will soon have more cruise options from Philadelphia. Norwegian Cruise Line, shortly after announcing plans to home port its first ship in the city in nearly 15 years, has revealed it will add a second vessel to its schedule.
Norwegian Pearl is the latest ship set to depart from the Port of Philadelphia, heading to Bermuda, the Bahamas, and other Caribbean destinations. It will join Norwegian Jewel, which will sail from Philadelphia to Canada and New England.
Sailings for both ships are scheduled to begin in 2026. Norwegian Jewel, accommodating 2,376 passengers, will start on April 16, 2026. The 2,344-passenger Norwegian Pearl's season from Philadelphia will commence on November 14, 2026.
