Norwegian Cruise Line: A New Chapter for a Classic Cruise Ship

Big news in the cruise world: Cordelia Cruises has officially acquired the Norwegian Sky! For those of us who’ve sailed her before—like we did on a fun 3-night Bahamas cruise—this ship holds a special place in our hearts. It’s exciting to see her heading into a new chapter.

A Quick Look Back: Our Time on the Norwegian Sky

We had the chance to sail on the Norwegian Sky during a 3-night Bahamas cruise, and it was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun. As you’d expect from a Norwegian Cruise Line ship, the food was outstanding—from buffet spreads to specialty dining, every meal exceeded expectations. One thing we especially appreciated was the ship’s modernized staterooms. Thanks to a recent renovation, the cabins felt fresh, comfortable, and thoughtfully updated—something you don’t always get on older ships. Whether we were enjoying the sunshine by the pool or grabbing a cocktail before dinner, the Sky delivered a seamless and stylish cruise experience.

Why Cordelia Cruises?

Cordelia Cruises is a rising star in the Indian cruise market, focusing on providing a modern, family-friendly cruise experience for Indian travelers. With this acquisition, Cordelia is clearly doubling down on growth and aiming to expand its fleet beyond the Empress of the Seas. The Norwegian Sky—renamed and rebranded—will now serve a whole new set of passengers in a different part of the world.

What Might Change—and What Will Stay the Same

We’re expecting Cordelia to give the ship a fresh makeover, adapting it to regional tastes and cultural experiences. Think Bollywood entertainment, Indian cuisine, and itineraries exploring popular Indian and Southeast Asian ports. But under all the changes, we know the bones of the Sky—the layout, the charm, the good vibes—will still be there.

Old Memories, New Horizons

While it’s bittersweet to see a ship we loved move on, there’s something heartwarming about knowing the Sky will keep sailing. Instead of retiring, she’s getting a new lease on life and will continue making memories for thousands of new cruisers.

For those of us who’ve walked her decks, watched a Bahamas sunset from the aft bar, or danced the night away at sea—this is a goodbye, but not a farewell.
