Why Cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line

Imagine being able to cruise exactly the way you want to, with no strict formal dress code, no set meal times and no schedule to follow but your own. This is the freedom cruising on Norwegian Cruise Line brings to your cruise holiday.

As one of the world’s most popular cruise lines, there are so many things to love about NCL. Keep reading to learn why you should cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line.

The World’s Youngest Cruise Fleet

Did you know that Norwegian Cruise Line boasts the youngest fleet at sea? With some of the newest and most up-to-date ships in the industry, NCL’s fleet is brimming with revolutionary features you won’t find on any other ship.

When it comes to onboard activities, NCL offers some of the biggest thrills at sea. Onboard all Breakaway and Breakaway Plus class ships you’ll find the ThrillPlex activity zones, a fun-filled area with adventures to suit the whole family. We’re talking multi-level race tracks (the largest at sea!), augmented reality laser tag, multi-level ropes courses and some of the fastest waterslides at sea.

For something a bit more relaxed, NCL also has The Waterfront, a revolutionary, quarter-mile oceanfront promenade, lined with restaurants and bars. There’s no better place to connect with the sea than onboard an NCL ship.

Accommodation to Suit All Cruisers

One of our favourite things about Norwegian Cruise Line is their range of accommodation types, with something to suit couples, families and solo travellers alike. NCL’s contemporary accommodation allows you to relax and recharge in spacious, modern cabins with all the amenities you require in your home at sea.

NCL is the ideal cruise line for solo cruisers, thanks to its unique Studio Cabins – in fact, Cruise Critic has named NCL the Best Cruise Line for Solo Travellers! Most of NCL’s ships offer these cabins, which have no single supplement fee and include access to the exclusive Studio Lounge, where you can meet and mingle with other like-minded solo travellers.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you want to indulge, hidden away at the top of the ship is The Haven by Norwegian. This is an ultra-exclusive area of the ship where you’ll find the most luxurious suites, complete with personal concierge and 24-hour butler services, plus access to The Haven’s very own private restaurant, bar and pool.

Freestyle Dining

When cruising with Norwegian Cruise Line, you will have more dining options than you do days onboard! Only NCL offers the freedom and flexibility of Freestyle Dining, which means no fixed dining times or pre-assigned seating, so you can dress up or down, dine inside or oceanside along The Waterfront, sit with your friends, or make new friends – the choice is yours.

Speaking of dining, NCL is known for having some of the best restaurants at sea – foodies will find themselves in paradise onboard an NCL ship. Complimentary dining options abound, with beautifully crafted menus in up to three Main Dining Rooms, a Buffet and a range of casual eateries.

However, the onboard specialty dining venues are where NCL truly shines. With something to curb any craving, choose from a range of cuisines, including Italian, Japanese, Mexican and more. Some must-try restaurants onboard NCL include Cagney’s Steakhouse, La Cucina and Ocean Blue.

Award-winning Entertainment

When it comes to award-winning entertainment, look no further than onboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s fleet. At night, NCL comes alive with some truly spectacular entertainment, ranging from Broadway musicals to mega deck parties.

Throughout their fleet, NCL offers a range of showstopping Broadway-style shows, such as Jersey Boys, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Footloose, Six, Rock of Ages and Kinky Boots. If production shows aren’t your style, you can enjoy some laughs at the Comedy Club or take a trip down Penny Lane by stepping into the legendary Liverpool club, The Cavern, complete with a Beatles cover band.

If you love a good party, NCL is the cruise line for you. Famed for their spectacular deck parties, you can dance the night away at a number of popular parties, including White Hot Party, Caliente, ‘70s and ‘80s Nights and Nashville Night!

Unique Cruise Itineraries

Sailing to breathtaking destinations across all seven continents, Norwegian Cruise Line offers one of the most impressive itinerary programs among large cruise liners. Whether you want to explore the ancient wonders of the Mediterranean, indulge in the culture and cuisine of Asia, have a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Africa, or immerse yourself in the majestic wilderness of Alaska – NCL has the perfect itinerary for you.

Did you know that NCL is the only cruise line to offer year-round sailings of the Hawaiian Islands? As the world’s only United States flagged ship, Pride of America uniquely provides seven-day itineraries visiting the four main islands of Hawaii. On the other side of the United States, you’ll find Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island paradise. Boasting beachfront cabanas, endless water sports and a delectable beach buffet, a visit to Great Stirrup Cay is included in all Bahamas cruises.

For a more immersive, port-intensive journey, NCL also offers a collection of ‘Extraordinary Journeys’, which span multiple continents and allow more time to unwind and relax at sea. No matter where you want to cruise, NCL can take you there.

Free at Sea Program

Norwegian Cruise Line is well known for its exclusive ‘Free at Sea’ program, allowing passengers to enhance their holiday experience by adding extra benefits to their cruise fare. Depending on which cabin category you book, you are entitled to select from a choice of a free Beverage Package, Specialty Dining Package, Shore Excursion Credit, Wifi Package, or to have your family and friends sail at a reduced rate.
