About Norwegian Sky
Norwegian Sky is a compact Norwegian Cruise Line ship built in 1999 and refurbished in 2024. Its smaller scale creates a more relaxed atmosphere than NCL’s newer megaships, while still offering pools, a casino, a fitness center, spa, theater entertainment, multiple restaurants, and balcony, ocean-view, inside, and suite accommodations. With 1,944 guests at double occupancy and 1,002 staterooms, it is well suited to travelers who prefer a traditional ship layout and a broad range of ports and onboard venues without the crowds of a much larger vessel.
