About Norwegian Pearl

Norwegian Pearl is a 93,530-ton Jewel Class ship built in 2006 that carries 2,344 guests at double occupancy in 1,197 staterooms with a crew of 1,072. It has the mid-size layout Jewel Class fans like: two main dining rooms, a Stardust Theatre, a full Haven suite complex with its own courtyard pool, and a long bar list that includes the Sugarcane Mojito Bar, Maltings and Magnum’s Champagne & Wine Bar.

Every stateroom was redone in a Norwegian Edge refit with new furniture, carpets, headboards, TVs and USB outlets, and Norwegian lists a further 2021 refurbishment. A late 2025 dry dock brought the adults-only Vibe Beach Club to Deck 14 with private cabanas and an extra hot tub. Specialty dining covers Cagney’s Steakhouse, Le Bistro, La Cucina, Moderno Churrascaria, Teppanyaki, Sushi and Lotus Garden, with O’Sheehan’s open 24 hours.

From November 2026 Pearl becomes Norwegian’s year-round Philadelphia ship. Winter brings seven-night Bahamas and Florida cruises, five to seven-night Bermuda cruises and ten and eleven-night Eastern Caribbean itineraries, then seven-day Bermuda cruises run April through early September 2027 with a Norfolk stop, followed by Canada and New England in the fall. Earlier in 2026 it sails Greek Isles cruises from Venice (Ravenna) and Athens. It suits Mid-Atlantic cruisers who want to drive to the pier.
