Imagine a cruise to Alaska, Europe or the Bahamas where you’re free to explore the ship, dine and dress as you please. Yes, all this is possible with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)!

From its inception in 1966, Norwegian Cruise Line has been known for its modern ships, a wide range of dining and entertainment options, and flexible cruising experience. The cruise line currently has 21 ships in its fleet, including its newest ship, the Norwegian Aqua, to be launched in March 2025.

NCL sets itself apart with the novel concept of Freestyle Cruising. It’s an experience where your time is truly your own. Guests have the freedom to explore each destination at their own pace, you can wander through the ports on your own or join a guided tour. That’s not all, here are some of the key features of NCL’s unique Freestyle Cruising.

Freestyle Dining
Dining here comes devoid of all precincts, with no fixed timings, seatings or rules related to bookings. If you’re on a 10-night Greek Isle cruise, you could enjoy an elaborate 3-course meal dressed in a T and a pair of shorts. Or, you could grab a burger while walking around the promenade, the choice is yours. Each ship has several world-class restaurants with unique menus designed to impress even the most finicky eater.

Spacious Accommodation
NCL offers a range of accommodations designed specifically to cater to the needs of a discerning traveller. You can book cabins for solo-travellers as well as large family suites. Some of the most popular staterooms include the Haven and SPA Staterooms. If you’re travelling with little ones, you’ll be thrilled with their child-friendly amenities.

Outstanding Entertainment
Norwegian Cruise Line is renowned for its Broadway-style productions and world-class performances. There’s live music, comedy shows, acrobatic stunners and so much more. With Freestyle Cruising, guests have the freedom to choose which shows they want to see, and when they want to see them.

Exciting Onboard Activities
NCL goes beyond what you’d expect on a cruise ship. It brings you a piece of Scandinavia with the Svedka & Inniskillin Ice Bar – an arctic chamber inspired by Scandinavian ice hotels where almost everything (the bar, walls, seats and glasses) is made of ice. You can enjoy activities along waterfront promenades, deck parties and lots more. Alternatively, you could choose to get a massage or pamper yourself at the spa.

Adventurous Itineraries
Norwegian Cruise Line offers a wide range of itineraries to some of the world's most exciting destinations, including the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, and beyond. How about exploring Iceland, Norway and Belgium on a 10-night Northern Europe cruise… Or, if you’re looking for a more tropical holiday, how about a 5-night Bermuda cruise…

Young Fleet
The NCL fleet has ships across 6 classes; Prima, Breakaway, Dawn, Epic, Jewel and Sun. Of these, the Prima class ships are the latest. NCL has 4 ships in this class. The Norwegian Prima launched in 2022 was the first. Her sister ship, Norwegian Viva joined the fleet a year later. 2025 will see 2 additions; Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna.

Exciting Deals

The ‘More at Sea’ cruise deals ensure value for money with unlimited beverage choices, specialty dining experiences, high-speed Wi-Fi and excursion credits included in the cruise price. On select cruises, you can even bring a third and a fourth guest along at no extra fee.
