Norwegian Cruise Line Ship to Spend First Night of Cruise Docked in Miami

Norwegian Getaway will remain docked in Miami overnight on August 24, 2026, to assist with the commissioning of the port's shore power system. This change will not impact the ship's itinerary, but it will affect embarkation procedures, as only one gangway will be available for boarding. Guests are advised to arrive at their assigned check-in times, and while they will not be able to disembark after boarding, the cruise will proceed as planned the following day. This initiative is part of efforts to enhance sustainability at PortMiami.
