According to local news reports in Greece, the Norwegian Cruise Line ship will visit Katakolo and Argostoli instead of Corfu this spring, while the rest of the ship’s itinerary will be mostly unchanged.

Some itinerary visits to Corfu have been replaced with a day at sea.

While no specific reason was given for cancelling visits to the Greek island, Norwegian has stated that itineraries are sometimes modified because of port congestion, pier maintenance, and other unforeseen factors.
