Philadelphia's Cruise Revival Starts with Norwegian Jewel Debut at PhilaPort

The Norwegian Jewel marks Philadelphia’s return to regular cruise service after 20 years, docking at PhilaPort to Bermuda with about 2,000 passengers boarding and roughly 2,200 disembarking; the port’s new terminal is still under construction but won’t disrupt this season, and officials project thousands of jobs and up to $295 million in economic impact from the revived cruise activity, with additional itineraries and the Norwegian Pearl joining later this year.

Philadelphia’s cruise comeback begins as Norwegian Jewel sails from port

The Norwegian Jewel marked the first cruise ship to depart from the Port of Philadelphia in 15 years, docking at the PhilaPort Cruise Terminal as construction continues. The ship will operate Bermuda-Philadelphia itineraries through August, with about 2,300 passengers. City and state officials say the terminal’s completion by early summer could bring roughly $295–$300 million in economic impact and around 2,100 direct and indirect jobs, with additional Canada and New England sailings planned for the fall.
