Norwegian Cruise Line adds second ship from Philadelphia by late 2026

Philadelphia has not been a hub for larger cruise vessels since 2011. Currently, major East Coast ports include New York City; Baltimore; Boston; Norfolk, Virginia; and several Florida locations such as Port Canaveral and Port Everglades.

The new sailings of Norwegian Pearl include five- and seven-night cruises to Bermuda from November 14 to December 18, 2026. There are also ten- and eleven-night Caribbean sailings with stops in the Dominican Republic and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Fares for Bermuda voyages start at $759 per person based on double occupancy (including taxes and fees). Ten-night Caribbean cruises begin at $1,100 per person under similar terms.

Norwegian Jewel's offerings include eleven-night Canada and New England trips departing September 5 and September 26, 2026. These trips make stops in Boston; Bar Harbor, Maine; Halifax, Nova Scotia; and Quebec City. Additionally available are seven- and nine-night cruises to Bermuda with a stop in Charleston, South Carolina between April 16 through September of that year.

Canada and New England itineraries start at $1,507 per person based on double occupancy (including taxes and fees). Seven-night Bermuda sailings begin at $1,187 per person under similar conditions.
