Operational Update #3: Hurricane Dorian
“The safety and security of our guests and crew is always our top priority. Due to Hurricane Dorian in the Caribbean, we have modified the following itineraries for Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Sky and Norwegian Sun.

Norwegian Breakaway – August 25, 2019 Sailing
As scheduled, Norwegian Breakaway will call to Cozumel, Mexico on Friday, August 30, 2019. At this time, we are uncertain if the ship will be able to return to Miami, Florida on Sunday, September 1, as planned. As such, the ship will extend its time and overnight in Cozumel until September 1, departing at 5 p.m. During this time, guests will have the option to conclude their cruise and arrange their return home or remain on board. Guests who choose to end their cruise in Cozumel will receive a 25% future cruise credit.

We welcome and encourage guests to remain on board and will provide an update on the anticipated return date to Miami by 8 p.m. or sooner on Friday, August 30.

Norwegian Breakaway – September 1, 2019 Sailing
We are closely monitoring the storm and will provide an update by 8 p.m. or sooner Friday, August 30, 2019.

Norwegian Sky – August 26, 2019 Sailing
Norwegian Sky will no longer call to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas and instead will return to Miami, Florida a day early on Friday, August 30, 2019. Guests will have the opportunity to remain on board until 7 a.m. on August 31. Due to the shortened cruise, all guests will receive a 20% refund from the original cruise fare paid.

Norwegian Sky – August 31, 2019 Sailing
We are closely monitoring the storm and will provide an update by 3 p.m. or sooner on Friday, August 30, 2019.

Norwegian Sun - August 29, 2019 Sailing
Norwegian Sun departed from Port Canaveral, Florida Thursday, August 29, 2019 as scheduled. The calls to Nassau, Great Stirrup Cay and Freeport, Bahamas have been cancelled. Instead, the ship will spend a day at sea on Friday, August 30 and will call to Cozumel, Mexico on August 31. She will remain at sea on September 1 and is scheduled to return to Port Canaveral on September 2.

Guests who booked shore excursions for any of the original port of calls through our shore excursion team, will receive a refund credited to their onboard account.

We are closely monitoring the storm and will communicate any additional itinerary modifications as needed.” – Spokesperson for Norwegian Cruise Line
