Norwegian Cruise Line has informed passengers booked on Norwegian Sun’s 23rd September 2026 sailing that the ship will remain in Copenhagen for two additional overnight stays whilst undergoing unplanned maintenance.
The extended port stay will result in the cancellation of the scheduled call to Oslo, Norway, though the cruise line has emphasised that the required work does not compromise vessel safety or passenger wellbeing.
The 1,976-passenger Norwegian Sun was originally scheduled to depart Copenhagen on the evening of embarkation day, 23rd September, before calling at Oslo, Norway the following day.
Instead, the vessel will now remain docked at the Danish capital through 25th September whilst shore-side teams complete necessary repairs.
Norwegian Cruise Line has sent email notifications to all affected guests explaining the itinerary modifications. The cruise line confirmed that embarkation will proceed as scheduled on Wednesday, 23rd September, and passengers must still adhere to their pre-selected arrival time windows despite the ship’s delayed departure.
The prolonged Copenhagen stay means the planned Oslo visit on Thursday, 24th September – scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. – has been cancelled entirely.
Additionally, what was originally programmed as a day at sea on Friday, 25th September will now serve as the second overnight in port whilst maintenance work continues.
Revised Itinerary Maintains Majority Of Baltic Calls
Norwegian Sun will finally depart Copenhagen at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, 25th September, setting course for Warnemünde (Berlin), Germany.
The relatively short distance between the two ports – just over 100 miles – should allow the vessel to arrive in time for its scheduled call from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, 26th September.
The remainder of the ten-day itinerary will proceed without further alterations at this time.
Following the German port call, Norwegian Sun will continue its Baltic circuit with visits to several Eastern European destinations that have become increasingly popular with cruise passengers seeking alternatives to Western Mediterranean routes.
On Sunday, 27th September, the ship will call at Gdynia, Poland from 1:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., offering guests access to the historic port city that serves as a gateway to Gdańsk and the broader Tri-City metropolitan area.
The following day, Monday, 28th September, brings a visit to Klaipeda, Lithuania from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., where passengers can explore one of the Baltic’s most charming coastal cities.
Tuesday, 29th September features a call at Riga, Latvia from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., allowing time to discover the Latvian capital’s UNESCO-listed Art Nouveau architecture and medieval Old Town.
The itinerary then moves to Nynäshamn, Sweden on Wednesday, 30th September from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., providing access to Stockholm and the surrounding archipelago.
