There are five primary areas that Norwegian Cruise Line operates in, including European itineraries, Pacific cruises, East Coast tours of New England and Canada, Caribbean cruises, and South American adventures. Highlights of these include tours through the Panama Canal and unforgettable trips through the Chilean fjords. NCL was one of the first cruise lines to offer year-round seven-night cruises through Hawaii, with a dedicated ship based in Honolulu!
There are no stuffy restaurants or set dining times on Norwegian cruises, so if you’re the type who likes to go with the flow you’ll love the freestyle dining plan. Sit down for a meal when you like, where you like it, with up to three Main Dining Rooms to choose from alongside a gorgeous buffet and range of casual grills and cafés. A highlight is O’Sheehan’s Neighbourhood Bar and Grill, dishing up perfectly grilled prime rib and salmon. Hit up the buffet for meat carving stations, fresh pastas, waffles and soft serve ice cream, or visit the Asian Fusion dining venues for a drool-worthy tour of the Orient.
Speciality dining experiences vary depending on the ship, but may include options like:
Whether you fancy a cool glass of fountain soda or an expertly prepared cocktail by the pool, Norwegian Cruise Line offers two distinct drinks packages to make sure you’re covered. The first is the ‘Corks and Caps Package’ offering unlimited soda, juice, beer and wines by the glass. If you have a taste for cocktails, you can upgrade to the ‘Ultimate Beverage Package’ to add liquors into the deal. On either case, these can be used in all lounges, bars and restaurants during your cruise.
