Norwegian Cruise Line Restarts Sailings from Los Angeles

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel continues its Great Cruise Comeback across the globe with the restart of its seventh vessel, Norwegian Bliss, sailing week-long voyages to the Mexican Riviera from Los Angeles. The vessel is the company’s second ship on the Pacific Coast.

With seven ships operational Norwegian Cruise Line is well underway on its return to service. The cruise line has plans for more ships to become operational before the end of the year. By the end of December Norwegian Cruise Line will be sailing with 11 ships, if all goes according to plan.

Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line: “Having her make her long-awaited return from the ‘City of Angels’ sets another landmark in our Great Cruise Comeback journey as we reignite half of our fleet and continue delivering unforgettable guest experiences from one of the premier destinations on the West Coast.”

Before the end of the year, Norwegian Dawn, Norwegian Escape, Norwegian Joy, and Norwegian Pearl will also start up sailings.

Onboard all Norwegian ships all guests and crew must be fully vaccinated 14 days before sailing. This measure will remain in place until December 31, 2021, at least. Guests also need to go through an antigen test before the start of the cruise.
