Why Choose Norwegian Cruise Line?

Freestyle Cruising

Freestyle Cruising is what makes the Norwegian Difference. What is freestyle? If you ask NCL, it’s the only way to cruise! Freestyle Cruising is cruising without schedules and stress. It’s all about flexibility and freedom when it comes to dining, living, and having fun. Freestyle Cruising grants you the freedom to dine in a different restaurant every day, choose your own fun, and even decide how and where you want to unwind after your day is done. Whether you’re an adventure-seeking daredevil or looking to spend your days doing nothing, you’re certain to find the perfect amount of entertainment and leisure onboard Norwegian Cruise Line ships, plus everything in between. With so much available to you, you’ll truly feel free to cruise in style.

Freestyle Dining

One of the main aspects of NCL’s Freestyle Cruising is their dining program. On all of NCL’s ships, there is open-seating dining, whereby you choose to dine wherever, whenever, and with whomever you want! There is no fixed dining or pre-assigned seating. Going along with this concept, NCL’s ships have several main dining rooms, a buffet (often, more than one), and many fabulous optional specialty dining venues (some of which have a cover charge). Depending on the cruise ship, NCL’s specialty restaurants may include venues such as an American-style steakhouse, Asian restaurant (including sushi and teppanyaki options), Brazilian steakhouse, Italian restaurant, Mexican cantina, and gourmet French restaurant.

Family Fun!

Give your kids a cruise vacation that they’ll never forget with Norwegian Cruise Line. Having been voted the “Best Family Experience” by Travel Weekly, it’s no surprise that all NCL ships are great for families. Several feature water slides, rock-climbing walls, video arcade, and full-sized bowling alleys. All their cruise ships have swimming pools, outdoor sports areas, and much more! Some boast a thrilling, multi-level race track in the middle of the ocean and impressive 10-stories-tall dry slides that are the fastest at sea!

Norwegian Cruise Line has fantastic complimentary kids and teen programs, available for children ages 3-17. Young kids can play together and learn in Splash Academy while teens enjoy parties and socializing at Entourage Teen Club, both complimentary programs available on all cruise ships but Norwegian Spirit. The Guppies Playroom is available for children 6 months to under 3 years, where parents and their children can enjoy open play and hosted activities together. The Guppies Nursery is available aboard Norwegian Escape. Dining with the kids is always hassle-free thanks to the complimentary kids’ menu for ages 4 to 12. All NCL cruise ships offer family accommodations and interconnecting staterooms to ensure that you have as much room as you need. Many ships feature 2-bedroom Family Suites that are located right by the play areas.

Variety of Great Accommodations

Norwegian Cruise Line has a wide range of staterooms and suites aboard each of their ships. The Haven by Norwegian™, available on select ships, is an exclusive enclave for suite guests staying in NCL’s most luxurious suites with special perks, including a concierge and 24-hour butler service. Select ships have massive 3-bedroom Garden Villas, spanning 7,000 square feet and more! Penthouses, Family suites, and Club Balcony suites offer amazing amenities. Comfortable balcony and oceanview staterooms provide breathtaking views, and the most affordable inside staterooms offer comfort and style. Some Norwegian cruise ships have NCL’s award-winning Studio staterooms, and all feature Solo staterooms, which are designed and priced for solo travelers. On many cruise ships, solo-traveling guests have exclusive key card access to the Studio Lounge, a shared private area where you can relax, enjoy a cocktail, order room service, watch the big-screen TV, and meet each other.

Spa, Salon, and Fitness Center

Almost all Norwegian ships feature impressive spa facilities. The Mandara Spa & Salon is available on most vessels, with variations in size and amenities, such as aroma stone therapy massage, facials, acupuncture, wrinkle treatments, couples massages, and more. The adults-only Thermal Suite is present on some vessels, offering full recharge and rejuvenation in its saunas, steam rooms, ice and snow rooms, vitality pools, and more (you have to buy a Thermal Suite pass to enjoy all these experiences). Men and women can also visit a salon for professional shaves, waxing, blowouts, nail services, and more.

Every Norwegian Cruise Line ship features a state-of-the-art fitness center to help you stay in shape during your voyage. You can use the most popular workout equipment, such as steppers, treadmills, ellipticals, fit balls, and free weights. You can also take inspiring yoga, Pilates, and spinning classes or take advantage of personal training and body composition analysis (available for an extra charge).
