Norwegian Prima Heads to San Juan to Start Winter Season from Florida

Published Nov 12, 2026, 11:10 PM ASTvia El Nuevo Día

Why this matters: The ship’s winter season based in San Juan brings thousands of cruise visitors into the city’s port and lets island residents board a modern vessel at home instead of flying to Florida to catch it.

The Norwegian Prima, a nearly new Norwegian Cruise Line ship, is sailing from Port Canaveral in Florida toward Puerto Rico and is due to arrive at the port of San Juan on Sunday, November 15, to begin its winter season. The arrival will bring thousands of tourists to the island and give Puerto Rico-based travelers the chance to vacation on a modern, fully equipped ship without leaving Puerto Rico, according to El Nuevo Día.
