Missed Ports, Cheap Deposits, Classic Norway

Today's Cruise News covers three stories from across the industry. Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Sun has dropped four Baltic ports — Nynäshamn/Stockholm, Klaipeda, Gdynia/Gdansk, and Kiel — from its June 24, 2026 sailing after propulsion issues limited the ship to 11 knots, with affected guests offered a $100 onboard credit per stateroom, a 25% future cruise credit, and a 25% fare refund. Ambassador Cruise Line has cut deposits to £99 per person on its 2026-27 fly-Caribbean program aboard Renaissance, featuring 14-night round-trips from Bridgetown, Barbados with Virgin Atlantic charter flights from London Heathrow and Manchester. And Hurtigruten's MS Vesteralen has returned to the classic Bergen–Kirkenes Coastal Express after a heritage-led refit that renovated 100 cabins and added new Arctic Superior cabins and Mini Suites.
