Discover Newport is still publishing the 2026 Perrotti Park cruise schedule credited to the Office of the Newport Harbor Master. The sheet was updated on March 17, 2026, and it says the list is subject to change without notice. From Tuesday, September 22 through Thursday, November 12, that sheet names 29 calls. Silver Shadow and Arcadia are both listed for September 22.
A passenger on one of those ships, or a visitor timing a waterfront day, can use the remaining dates before booking a hotel night. October holds 21 of the 29 calls, so that month is the busy stretch on this sheet. For a base near the harbor, compare where to stay in Newport, Rhode Island.
- Window: September 22 to November 12, 2026, on the Perrotti Park sheet.
- Calls: 29 named calls, with 21 of them in October.
- Two ships: September 22, September 24, October 7, October 12, October 18, October 25, and October 28.
- Weekly ship: Majestic Princess on five Sundays, October 4 through November 1.
- Last printed call: Victory I on Thursday, November 12.
Twenty-Nine Calls Remain on the Perrotti Park Sheet
The list lives on the Discover Newport cruise ship schedule as the 2026 Perrotti Park schedule. The linked harbor master file is the Perrotti Park cruise ship schedule PDF, credited to the Office of the Newport Harbor Master and marked updated on March 17, 2026.
What’s Up Newp published the same remaining window on September 22, 2026: 29 calls between that day and November 12, with October accounting for 21. The ship names and dates in that report match the harbor master sheet call for call.
Five calls fall before October. September 22 lists Silver Shadow and Arcadia. September 24 lists Amera and Arcadia. September 27 lists Regal Princess. Those five names are the entire remainder of September on the sheet.
October Carries 21 of Those Calls
Sunday, October 4 is Majestic Princess. Wednesday, October 7 lists AIDAdiva and Vista. Thursday, October 8 is Azamara Journey. The sheet prints the October 7 second ship as Vista, and it does not add a cruise line beside that name.
Sunday, October 11 is Majestic Princess again. Monday, October 12 lists Silver Shadow and Norwegian Breakaway. Wednesday, October 14 is Silver Shadow. Thursday, October 15 is Le Bellot. Saturday, October 17 is Viking Mars.
Sunday, October 18 lists Seabourn Ovation and Majestic Princess. Tuesday, October 20 is Seabourn Ovation. Friday, October 23 is Victory II. Saturday, October 24 is Viking Mars. That is the third week of the month on the printed sheet.
Sunday, October 25 lists Majestic Princess and Crystal Symphony. Wednesday, October 28 lists Azamara Journey and Orient Express. Friday, October 30 is AIDAdiva. Saturday, October 31 is Sapphire Princess. Those four dates close October with six calls.
Fifteen October dates have no Perrotti Park call on this sheet: October 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 21, 22, 26, 27, and 29. A blank date means no cruise call is printed for Perrotti Park. It does not mean the harbor, the bay, or Fort Adams is closed to other boats.
Majestic Princess Takes Five Straight Sundays
Majestic Princess is the repeat visitor. The sheet places that ship on Sunday, October 4, Sunday, October 11, Sunday, October 18, Sunday, October 25, and Sunday, November 1. October 18 and October 25 are also double-ship days, with Seabourn Ovation and Crystal Symphony beside it.
Silver Shadow appears four times in the remaining window: September 22, October 12, October 14, and November 2. Arcadia appears on September 22 and September 24. AIDAdiva appears on October 7 and October 30. Azamara Journey appears on October 8 and October 28. Seabourn Ovation appears on October 18 and October 20. Viking Mars appears on October 17 and October 24.
The one-time names in this window are Amera, Regal Princess, Vista, Norwegian Breakaway, Le Bellot, Victory II, Crystal Symphony, Orient Express, Sapphire Princess, and Victory I. Norwegian Breakaway is the October 12 call beside Silver Shadow. Victory I is the last name on the sheet.
Passengers Come Ashore at Perrotti Park
Discover Newport’s schedule page says larger ships anchor in the harbor and tender passengers to Perrotti Park, while smaller vessels dock at the South Alofsin Pier at Fort Adams State Park. The harbor master file itself is titled as the Perrotti Park schedule. It does not mark which of these 29 calls tender and which ones tie up at Fort Adams.
Treat the landing as unassigned until the line confirms it. What’s Up Newp describes tender passengers stepping ashore at Perrotti Park and walking to America’s Cup Avenue and Thames Street. That is a downtown arrival, not a berth assignment for any one ship on the list.
A shore day on a call date is a downtown day, not a mansion reservation. Travelers who continue into the historic houses can start with the Marble House Newport visitor guide and still confirm hours before they leave the landing.
The March 17 Sheet Can Still Change
The file says “Subject to change without notice” under the March 17, 2026 update line. Discover Newport’s live schedule page still points to that same file. A newer commercial timetable can show a ship that this sheet does not name. That extra line is not a Perrotti Park call until the harbor master list or the line says so.
If your ship is missing, ask the cruise line before you count on a Newport stop. If your ship is printed here, still recheck closer to the date, because the sheet allows changes without a new public date. The copy reviewed for this report does not strike any of these 29 calls as cancelled.
November on the sheet is short. Sunday, November 1 is Majestic Princess. Monday, November 2 is Silver Shadow. Thursday, November 12 is Victory I. No later November call is printed.
| If you… | What to do |
|---|---|
| Are in Newport on September 22 | Plan for two calls on the sheet: Silver Shadow and Arcadia. |
| Want a Sunday with the same ship | Majestic Princess is listed on October 4, 11, 18, and 25, then November 1. |
| Want fewer cruise passengers downtown | Use a blank Perrotti Park date, including October 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 21, 22, 26, 27, and 29. |
| Do not see your ship on the sheet | Confirm with the line. This file is dated March 17, 2026, and is subject to change. |
September 22 is the first double call left on the sheet. Silver Shadow and Arcadia are both listed, and September 24 repeats the two-ship pattern with Amera and Arcadia.
October 4 starts the Sunday pattern. Majestic Princess is listed on five Sundays in a row, and October 18 and October 25 add a second ship.
November 12 is the last printed call. Victory I closes the sheet. Reconfirm any call before you travel, because the harbor master marked the list subject to change.
