Norwegian Cruise Line

Freestyle cruising with no fixed dining times, no dress code, and complete freedom to holiday your way.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) pioneered the 'Freestyle Cruising' concept — no fixed dining times, no assigned tables, no dress code. This philosophy appeals strongly to independent travellers who want maximum flexibility. NCL's newest ships, including Norwegian Prima, Viva, and Aqua, are beautifully designed with outstanding outdoor spaces, including the Ocean Boulevard — a walkway that wraps around the entire ship with glass bridges over the ocean. NCL's Haven is one of the best ship-within-a-ship concepts, offering a private sundeck, restaurant, bar, and butler service. The line sails from Southampton on Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Star for UK seasons. NCL has invested heavily in entertainment, with Broadway shows like Kinky Boots and Six performing on board. Free At Sea packages bundle drinks, speciality dining, shore excursions, and Wi-Fi.
