Norwegian Sun's Baltic Cruise Cuts Oslo, Adds Second Copenhagen Overnight for Maintenance
Norwegian Cruise Line has notified guests on the September 23, 2026 Norwegian Sun sailing that the ship will stay docked in Copenhagen through Friday, September 25, for required maintenance not affecting ship safety. The visit to Oslo, Norway, originally set for Thursday, September 24, and the scheduled sea day on Friday have both been cancelled and replaced with two overnight stays in Copenhagen. Embarkation still takes place as scheduled on September 23, and guests must still arrive within their pre-selected Online Check-In window, which will be strictly enforced. Norwegian Sun will depart Copenhagen at 5 p.m. Friday for Warnemunde, Germany, arriving Saturday, September 26, with the rest of the itinerary—Gdynia, Klaipeda, Riga, Nynashamn, and Tallinn—unchanged, before debarkation in Helsinki on October 2. Affected guests will receive a $100 non-refundable onboard credit split between the first two guests per stateroom.
