Norwegian Holdings is transferring 4 cruise ships: 2 ships from the main brand (NCL Sky, NCL Sun), and 2 more ships from each of the luxury brands (Oceania Insignia, Navigator Regent Seven Seas). The announcement comes as a surprise as the ships' transfer dates are in 2026-2027, with cruises on these ships also being sold on the company's websites for later dates - which means there are cancellations of future bookings! In the video, we answer these questions and more: What does this mean for the company? What should anyone who has a reservation on these cruise ships do? Where are the ships going?
