About Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line pioneered Freestyle Cruising — the concept of no set dining times, no formal dress codes, and the freedom to experience your vacation on your own schedule. NCL's ships are known for The Haven, a luxury ship-within-a-ship concept offering a private sundeck, restaurant, and butler service. With innovative features like go-kart tracks at sea, laser tag, and the longest waterslide at sea, Norwegian appeals to guests who want both freedom and excitement.

Why Choose Norwegian Cruise Line?
