The ship has spent the last week sailing along the coastline of Australia to Melbourne, calling at Fremantle, Busselton, Albany, Adelaide, and Kangaroo Island.
She arrived in Melbourne yesterday for a more than 30-hour overnight stay in the city, and will today set sail on a three-night cruise to Burnie and Eden, before arriving in Sydney on Sun for the first time this season.
Spirit will sail a curated collection of 10 open-jaw itineraries during her full Australian season, ranging from 11 to 13 days between Sydney and New Zealand, where Norwegian will also visit ports such as Timaru and Gisborne for the first time.
She will then reposition to the Pacific for a series of island itineraries ranging from 11 to 13 days, departing Lautoka, Honolulu, and Papeete.
“We’re thrilled to visit Fremantle for the very first time, and our guests are just as excited to explore this beautiful port and the other incredible destinations we’ll visit across Western Australia,” said Ben Angell, NCL’s Managing Director and Vice President of APAC.
“But our commitment goes far beyond one state – Norwegian Spirit’s arrival isn’t just a first for our brand, it’s a vote of confidence in Australia’s cruise future. NCL is stepping forward, supporting regional ports right across the country to deliver unforgettable experiences and inject real value into the visitor economy – now and into the future.”
MEANWHILE, NCL guests can once again opt for the cruise line’s Free at Sea Plus promotion, which is being brought back just over 12 months after being killed off.
Guests on sailings departing from Feb can access Free at Sea Plus, which offers additional perks on coffee, premium wi-fi and drinks, and more.
Free at Sea Plus also allows guests to indulge in an unlimited open bar at Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island destination in the Bahamas.
