All Norwegian Cruise Ships by AGE, from newest to the oldest (with infographic). Where does your NCL stack up in the list?

Below you'll find all Norwegian Cruise Ships by Age from newest to oldest. We know that some members of our cruise community like to sail the newest Norwegian ship off the line. And we've heard from others who prefer nostalgia over that "new ship" smell. Fortunately, NCL offers a wide variety of ship ages.

In this age of hyper-sensitivity, we wouldn't dare favor the youngest over the oldest Norwegian Cruise ship. Nor vice versa. We love all ships equally. As annoyingly "PC" as that sounds, we truly have a soft spot in our hearts for all Norwegian's ships, regardless of age.

Our charts below will help you find the perfectly aged ship for your specific preference. We've prepared an infographic laying out all NCL ships by Age from its newest active ship, the Norwegian Luna, to its oldest ship still in operation (spoiler... it's the Norwegian Spirit).

Norwegian Cruise - Newest & Oldest Ships

Norwegian Cruise Line Newest Ship vs Oldest Image

Many cruisers will scroll to the very top or the very bottom of the chart. Maybe they want the freshest ship off the line. Or, perhaps they just want to avoid sailing the most ancient of the fleet. Either way, here are the two most common questions ask from potential Norwegian cruisers.

What is Norwegian’s newest cruise ship?

NCL's newest ship is the Norwegian Luna, launching in 2026. The Luna is a sister ship to the Norwegian Aqua, launched in 2025. These two are the newest of the fleet's 21 currently active cruise ships. The Luna will depart from Miami and the Aqua will sail from NYC and Miami. You can see details on each below.

What is Norwegian’s oldest ship?

Norwegian's oldest cruise ship, which is still active today, is the Norwegian Spirit. It was launched in 1998, making it almost 30 years old! It currently offers departures from Hawaii and across the pacific. See more details below.

Does ship "age" affect the cruise price?

The short answer is, "yes." It's not a 1:1 correlation. The newest ship won't always be the most expensive. Nor the oldest the cheapest. Many other factors will come into play. The cruise length, itinerary, season, etc will all factor in. A new ship will generally cost more. The older ships tend to offer more deals. To get a sense of pricing, click through any of the ships below for detailed pricing info.

Newest NCL Ship - Fun Fact

Norwegian's newest class of ship (Prima Plus) will feature the world’s first hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide, called the "Aqua Slidecoaster." This groundbreaking new attraction combines dual slides with a magnetic lift, propelling guests through three stories of twists and turns around the ship’s funnel

You'll see from our Norwegian Ship Age Infographic that the cruise line's active ships go back to 1998. If you're on one of these older ships, however, don't expect a 90's throwback complete with Nirvana music and tamagotchis. Cruise ships are regularly upgraded to provide the newest venues and a fresh coat of paint.

In the ship data below, we include "renovation date" when relevant.

Let's be honest, the Norwegian Spirit won't have the same "new ship smell" that you'll find on the Luna. And cruise pricing typically reflects this. At least for the first year or two. Newer ships and ships more recently renovated will command higher prices than those in need of some updates.

If you're looking for the newest cruise ship off the lot, then our graph below should be exactly what you need.
