NCL managing director and vice president of APAC Ben Angell says the cruise line is thrilled to bring guests to Fremantle and across Western Australia.
“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.” The ship will continue to Busselton and Albany, with the Australian season concluding 21 Dec in Sydney.
From Dec to Apr the Norwegian Spirit will sail 10 open-jaw itineraries ranging from 11 to 13 days between Sydney and Auckland, including maiden calls to Timaru and Gisborne as well as the Bay of Islands and Napier, with average port stays of 10 hours.
Following this, the ship will head to the South Pacific for itineraries ranging from 11 to 13 days, departing from Sydney, Lautoka, Honolulu, or Papeete.
In her fourth local season starting 2026, Norwegian Spirit will introduce a collection of four- to 14-day sailings, with nine departures ex Sydney. Five of these are round-trip Sydney voyages, and NCL’s first Tasmanian Taster cruises, offering a long weekend on a smaller ship. These two four-day sailings depart 06 and 21 Jan. The season will begin with a 12-day South Pacific sailing from Lautoka to Sydney in Nov.
