Norwegian Cruise Lines
Norwegian Cruise Lines Boasts Fun and Freedom
Norwegian Cruise Lines is the third biggest cruise line in the world. It is the oldest major US-based cruise line and has been in operation since 1966. Norwegian Cruise Lines, also known as NCL, started off as a budget cruise line but it has evolved into one of the best-known lines of all. The casual onboard experience, cool entertainment options such as outdoor nightclubs, glow-in-the-dark bowling and water slides, and young megaships make NCL a very tempting cruise line indeed.
There is no shortage of exciting destinations, with classic choices such as the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Hawaii, and Bermuda, along with tempting trips to South America, the Panama Canal, Alaska, and Canada, to name a few. There are currently 14 ships to choose from including the Breakaway, one of the newest, which offers modern, comfortable staterooms and suites, along with an Aqua Park, 3-story sports complex, 15 dining options, and much more.
Something for Every Traveler
This cruise line is great for couples or single travelers, but it is also a sound choice for families. The water parks, sports deck, kids’ and teens’ programs, and varied dining options make it ideal for every member of the family from the youngest to the most senior. There is plenty of entertainment including bars, clubs and nightclubs, and NCL’s ‘Freestyle Cruising’ option means you can really make every cruise your own, enjoying things your way. If you want to use the spa or enjoy other onboard activities, eat late or early, dressed casual or formal, everything is totally up to you.
While the ships are docked at various destinations you are free to enjoy shore excursions or simply relax and do your own thing. All the ships are quite big, carrying between 1,936 and 4,100 passengers, and there is a ratio of 1 staff member to every 2 or 3 passengers. The ‘no fixed dress codes’ approach and other benefits of Freestyle Cruising ensure Norwegian Cruise Lines appeal to travelers who simply wish to relax and make their own choices about what to go, how to dress and where to eat.
The wide range of activities onboard ensures there is something for every member of the family from the kids to the grandparents, and everyone in between, and NCL boasts exciting destinations as well as a comfortable, enjoyable and memorable cruising experience. The fares tend to be lower than with some other cruise lines too, one of the reasons you will find plenty of families and younger clientele on board.
