About Norwegian Spirit

Norwegian Spirit is a mid-sized Norwegian Cruise Line ship originally built in 1998 for Star Cruises as SuperStar Leo. After joining NCL in 2004, it was extensively refurbished in 2022 and now offers a more adult-oriented onboard experience, with relaxed outdoor spaces, a thermal suite, specialty dining, live entertainment, casino gaming and a broad range of staterooms. Its relatively modest size supports a quieter, less resort-like atmosphere than NCL’s newer mega-ships.
