IT’S DIFFERENT OUT HERE: The view from Norwegian Cruise Line


Spring is well and truly here, and with the days getting warmer,


there’s no better time to come together for something that really matters.


I’m delighted to say that on the first day


of registration for our Walk for Wellness 2026, we saw nearly 400 agents sign up to join us from May 1. It’s shaping up


to be a fantastic month of walking, talking and sharing, all while supporting two brilliant charities close to our industry’s heart: Abta LifeLine and the ITAA Benevolent Fund. Make sure you sign up by scanning the QR code below, and you could also be in with a chance to win some fantastic prizes.


It’s also been a landmark moment for Norwegian Cruise


Line, as we recently marked a major construction milestone with the float-out of Norwegian Aura, our largest ship to date and the fifth ship in our award-winning Prima Class. Touching water for the first time is a huge step in her construction and, when she debuts in May 2027, Norwegian Aura will deliver elevated, multigenerational experiences, from the all-new Ocean Heights Activity Complex to expanded pool decks and dedicated family-friendly outdoor spaces.


There’s still plenty to get excited about in the short term.


Now is the perfect time to drive bookings for Europe this year with our Europe 2026 Sale – a brilliant opportunity to convert customer demand into bookings.


GARY ANSLOW vice-president and head of UK and Ireland, Norwegian Cruise Line
