Travelling with Norwegian Cruise Line means experiencing one of the most innovative and dynamic cruise lines on the market. With the introduction of the successful Freestyle Cruising concept in 2000, the cruise line has become known for its flexibility. Passengers can break with traditional table times and have dinner or other meals whenever they want. The introduction of the optional Free at Sea holiday upgrade has further enhanced the product, for even more freedom and flexibility on board. The fleet is very diverse and consists of both traditional and smaller ships as well as some new giants with many attractions.
The restaurants are certainly one of the strengths of the company and offer an exceptional range. The large selection of bars and restaurants is exceptional. NCL cruises are ideal for families, young couples, single travellers and anyone who loves international cuisine and international flair on board. On the smaller ships you can relax, on the larger ships there are innovations such as the largest high ropes course, the first e-kart tracks and the first hybrid roller coaster and water slide at sea. The entertainment programme is outstanding across the entire fleet. The itineraries lead around the globe. Destinations include Europe and the Caribbean, the Bahamas and Florida as well as exotic climes such as Asia, Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, but also distant regions such as Canada and New England, Bermuda, Alaska, Australia and New Zealand and the South Pacific, the Mexican Riviera, South America and Antarctica. The Caribbean is of course one of the company's strengths, as many ships sail here. In addition, NCL is the only cruise line that travels around Hawaii all year round, with the Pride of America.
