Norwegian Cruise Line has published its 2016-17 UK brochure featuring new European itineraries from Copenhagen, Barcelona, Venice and Istanbul.

There are also new itineraries on Norwegian Star to the Gulf, India and Sri Lanka, as well as cruises to South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, plus Norwegian Epic’s Western Mediterranean summer sailings featuring Marseille as a new port of call.

The line also announced more sailings in South America departing from Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro to Brazil’s beaches and São Paulo.

Christian Böll, Managing Director Europe, said: “We are delighted to showcase our incredible new itineraries in the 2016-2017 Freestyle Cruising Brochure. The new cruises give more choice to past guests and will certainly widen the appeal to new customer bases – it’s a win-win for our loyal travel partners.”

Key trade partners will receive a stock of the new brochure in early September but to view an online version or to order more copies for their customers, travel agents can visit agents-uk.ncl.eu/order-brochures.

Earlier in the year Norwegian announced plans to sail to Asia and Australia for the first time in 13 years.

At the time,  Andy Stuart, Norwegian’s president and chief operating officer, said: “We are truly excited to offer these incredible new itineraries to our guests, who now have the opportunity to explore areas of the globe that we haven’t called on in many years and some that we’ve never before visited.

“Norwegian is taking guests to their dream destinations, where they can indulge in new tastes, new cultures and new experiences, along with the flexibility to unpack once and the freedom to explore many distinct destinations during one holiday-of-a-lifetime.”
