Norwegian Cruise Line has decided to replace its Premium All Inclusive Drinks package to the new “ Free At Sea” programme which has been introduced on the 02nd April 2019.
Premium All Inclusive fares were introduced to the UK and Ireland market in April 2017, with a focus on inclusive beverages and gratuities, but is all about to change again.
This programme has successfully been run in the Worldwide market but is now being rolled out in Europe. For a small fee of £99 for each seven-night sailing, the passengers can choose from 2 different options worth up to £700. Does that sound interesting to you?
The ‘Free at Sea’ programme requires guests to pay £99 per person and this will entitle you to choose from two of the following options:
All guests who are booked on an Inside, Ocean View or Balcony can choose two of the following:
- A premium drinks package, worth up to US$99 per person, per day, including gratuities and service charges
- Speciality dining for three nights of a seven-night sailing, worth $89 per person, including gratuities and service charges
- Free Wi-Fi, up to 250 mins per stateroom on a seven-night basis.
- US$50 dollars onboard credit per stateroom, per port, to spend on shore excursions
- The third and fourth passenger in a stateroom, sails for the cost of taxes only (selected sailings only)
All guests sailing on Norwegian Cruise’s that are booked in their top stateroom classes, such as Haven, Concierge or Suites will automatically be eligible for all five of the above.
I have to say I am impressed with this and hopefully, this is a good turn around for Norwegian Cruise Liners since they have added the All Inclusive Drinks and Free Gratuities this really had affected their prices. A lot of guests I speak to would prefer to have the flexibility and this looks like it is a very good option for all.
