Inside Norwegian Cruise Line’s retro-inspired rebrand for 2026

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has unveiled a refreshed global brand identity inspired by its 1990s heritage, reviving the iconic tagline ‘It’s Different Out Here’ to reconnect with the spirit of freedom and flexibility that has long defined the brand. The new platform and campaign reframes what cruising can feel like, leaning into “a world where memories matter more than offerings,” and celebrating the ultimate luxury of being fully present. Reflecting a nostalgic yet modern sensibility, the new aesthetic blends airy, fluid visuals with a distinctly retro vibe across refreshed lifestyle imagery and design, with a focus on people rather than product. Supported by a comprehensive global rollout spanning TV, OOH, digital, and social platforms, the campaign charts a new course for ocean travel where individuality and emotional connection take centre stage.
