Norwegian Cruises first available sailing on their website in on December 6th, 2020 featuring a 5 day cruise departing from Miami to the Bahamas.
Norwegian and Carnival aren't the only major cruise lines with cancelations. Royal Caribbean, has suspended cruises through Oct. 31, though it has also canceled transatlantic, European and Australian itineraries beyond that date.
While some cruise lines have restarted in Europe and other parts of the world, the cruise industry has largely been on hold worldwide since COVID-19 began to take hold in late February and early March.
