2 Norwegian Cruise Line Ships Will Now Call Baltimore Their Home Port

Well, this is exciting news for those of us here in Delaware.  On the heels of Avelo Airlines flying direct to 15 locations out of New Castle Airport in Wilmington (ILG), we now have more cruising options to look forward to.

Norwegian Cruise Lines has announced that two ships from their fleet will now call Baltimore their home port.  These are the first two cruise ships from NCL to dock in Baltimore in it’s history.   Ships from Royal Caribbean and Carnival already sail from the Maryland Cruise Terminal.

Travel + Leisure reports that the two new ships are the Norwegian Sun and Norwegian Sky.

“Today marks a history-making moment for Norwegian Cruise Line, as we sail from the vibrant city of Baltimore for the first time,” David J. Herrera, the president of Norwegian Cruise Line, said in a statement.

Upcoming Norwegian cruise itineraries will include Canada, Bermuda, New England and the Caribbean.

The first sailing on the Sky departed on Friday for a 10-day voyage to the north, with stops in New England and Canada.  The Sun will begin sailings out of Baltimore later in the year, with voyages to Bermuda and the Caribbean on the books.  You can find out more about NCL cruises out of Baltimore here.

Fly Direct From Wilmington To These 15 Locations On Avelo Airlines

Avelo Airlines announced their new east coast base  at New Castle Airport earlier this year, with plenty of options to now fly direct from Wilmington.

This has been a game changer for travelers this summer looking to head south out of Delaware.  The days of trekking over to Philadelphia International Airport are becoming a thing of the past for some.

Since February, Avelo Airlines has been consistently adding desirable travel destinations to their growing itinerary.  Most recently, they announced their first nonstop flight to the Caribbean.  Starting this fall, you’ll be able to travel to San Juan, Puerto Rico.  This makes Avelo Airlines the first airline to offer nonstop flights beyond the continental United States from Wilmington at ILG.  So much more convenient than having to head to Philly.  The lines, the traffic, ugh!

Currently, all nonstop flights out of Wilmington are to locations along the east coast.  The price of a one way ticket is very reasonable with fares starting as low at $49.  Avelo is always offering some sort of promo code too.  Right now, for instance, you can get 50% off base fares for travel in September.

So, just where in the US can you fly direct from Wilmington, on Avelo Airlines?  Let’s take a look at the list below, including plenty of spots in Sunny Florida, the Carolinas, Music City and more!
