Norwegian Cruise Line's fleet comprises 21 ships, including the brand-new Norwegian Luna. These ships range in size from nearly 170,000 gross tons to 75,900 gross tons.
Each ship belongs to a specific class, ranging from the Breakaway Plus Class, which is home to the largest vessels in the fleet, to the Sun Class.
While age makes a huge difference in the onboard experience, so does size. For example, you won't find as many amenities on Norwegian Sun as on Norwegian Joy or Luna.
In this guide, we'll explore all 21 Norwegian ships by size, from the biggest to the smallest vessels in the fleet.
