NCL to sail from New Orleans year-round

In summer 2011, Norwegian Cruise Line will base a ship year-round in New Orleans and will homeport in Copenhagen for the first time. 

The Norwegian Sun will offer nine-day Baltic cruises from Denmark's capital. 

A year-round cruise program out of New Orleans is also a first for NCL. The move brings more good news to the Big Easy two days after it won the Super Bowl. 

The Norwegian Spirit has been based in New Orleans seasonally since 2007. Year-round, the Spirit will operate weekly, seven-day western Caribbean cruises from April 2011 through April 2012. 

The 2,000-passenger Spirit will call in Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico; Roatan, Honduras; and Belize City, Belize. 

>From Copenhagen, the Sun will go to Berlin (Warnemünde), Germany; Tallinn, Estonia; St. Petersburg, Russia; Helsinki, Finland; and Stockholm (Nynashamn), Sweden. The ship will overnight in St. Petersburg. 

Also in summer 2011, the 2,400-passenger Norwegian Gem will replace the Norwegian Dawn sailing from New York to Bermuda. The 2,224-passenger Dawn will homeport in Boston, replacing the Spirit.
