NCL Cancels Breakaway’s 2025 Transatlantic Crossing

In 2025, Norwegian Breakaway will not cross the Atlantic.

Guests booked on the sailing have been notified that it will no longer depart on February 7 of that year.

According to the company, the cancellation is due to a change of location for upcoming technical maintenance on the ship.

Norwegian Cruise Line stated, “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”.

The guest fare paid at the time of the reservation will be fully refunded in the form of payment provided.

It will take Norwegian 30 business days to process the refunds automatically without any further action from passengers.

Those who paid the reservation with a previously issued Future Cruise Credit (FCC) will have the credit reapplied to their Latitudes account in full.

The affected guests are also eligible for a further 10 percent discount on the Norwegian Cruise Line. As an FCC issued for future voyages, the credit may be applied toward any published sailings until December 31, 2025.

The cruise was scheduled to sail from Miami to Spain with an overnight stop at Ponta Delgada, the largest island in Portugal’s Azores archipelago.

There were nine full days at sea before arriving in Barcelona on the 12-night itinerary.

A series of five-to-11 cruises will be offered by the Norwegian Breakaway departing from Port Miami during the winter of 2024-2025. Some ports, including Barbados, San Juan, and Great Stirrup Cay, will be visited.

A series of Mediterranean itineraries will be offered by the 2013-built cruise ship after it is repositioned to Europe for the 2025 summer.

Visiting popular destinations in the region, including Naples, Barcelona, Cannes, Corfu, Dubrovnik, Malta, Spain, France, Greece, Croatia, and more, the nine- or 11-night cruises visit Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Croatia, and Malta.
