Norwegian Cruise Line’s Northeast deployment schedule for the 2012-13 fall and winter season features two large ships sailing from New York. For the first time, the 2,394-passenger Norwegian Pearl will sail from New York beginning in October 2012, offering 21 seven-day Bahamas and Florida cruises, along with three 12-day Southern Caribbean voyages.

Norwegian Gem, also accommodating 2,394 passengers, will continue to homeport in New York and offer 24 nine-day Eastern Caribbean voyages and four 10-day cruises to Eastern Canada and Quebec. Rounding out the fall season from the Northeast, Norwegian Dawn will sail seven-day cruises to Canada and New England from both Boston and Quebec for five weeks starting Sept. 21, 2012.

Norwegian Pearl will make its New York debut on Oct. 14, 2012, sailing a seven-day itinerary that calls at Port Canaveral, Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau.
