Cruises from Philadelphia

Norwegian Cruise Line offers unforgettable cruises from Philadelphia, allowing guests to explore the riverfront, historic center, other historical sites, and delicious eateries of "The City of Brotherly Love" on foot. The NCL starts using the Philadelphia, PA port as a departure and disembarkation port in 2026, offering voyages to Bermuda, Canada, New England, and the Dominican Republic.

NCL offers 7- and 9-day Philadelphia cruises to Bermuda with two days of fun at the Royal Naval Dockyard, where you can play golf, build castles from pink sand, and enjoy fantastic views from one of the world's oldest cast-iron lighthouses. You can also enjoy an 11-day journey to Canada & New England, visiting Boston, Halifax, Québec City, and other historic places. Besides this, NCL offers 10-day sails from Canada & New England and 11-day Aruba & Dominican Republic voyages that include Philly as a destination port.

There is also a small selection of cruises that visit Philadelphia and let you travel back to America's earliest days, savoring that iconic Philly cheesesteak, visiting the local museums, and immersing in the city’s vibrant culture.

Philadelphia, the country's first World Heritage City, is one of the most history-rich cities in the United States and is also a very popular cruise departure port for those who live nearby. Some people prefer to cruise from here and schedule a hotel stay before or after their voyage. This gives them the chance to enjoy the city and all it has to offer. NCL is the only major cruise line to offer cruises to and from Philadelphia.
