Measurements of the luminosity delivered to the CMS experiment during the lead-lead data-taking periods in 2015 and 2018 are presented for the first time. The collisions were recorded at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV; the 2018 data sample is three times larger than the 2015 data sample. Three subdetectors are used: the pixel luminosity telescope, the forward hadron calorimeters, and the fast beam conditions monitor. The absolute luminosity calibration is determined using the van der Meer technique that relies on transverse beam separation scans. The dominant sources of uncertainty are the transverse factorizability of the bunch density profiles and, in 2015, the difference between the results obtained using various detectors. The total uncertainty in the integrated luminosity, including the stability of the calibrated subdetector response over time, amounts to 3.0% for 2015, 1.7% for 2018, and 1.6% for the combined data sample.
