Norwegian Cruise Line
The Norwegian Cruise Line consists of a fleet of at least twelve luxury liners. These floating hotels offer cruise destinations of Alaska, Bermuda, Canada and New England, the Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, South America, the Bahamas and Florida and the Mexican Riviera.
With an impressive fleet and an expansive list of destinations the Norwegian Cruise Ship Line offers something for everyone. In addition to the featured destinations the Norwegian Cruises also offers unique adventures known as repositioning cruises. These cruises are often of a longer duration than the typical cruise and offer an incredible discount to the passengers.
These trips are a necessity for the cruise line as it is inevitable that a few times a year ships in the fleet will need to make an extended trip strictly for scheduling purposes. However, Norwegian Cruise Ships offers passengers the opportunity to take advantage of this scheduling inevitability to secure an inexpensive and exotic cruise vacation.
Freestyle Cruising with the Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian Cruises offer a unique concept that they refer to as freestyle cruising. Their freestyle cruising concept is a more relaxed approach to dining, service, attire, activities and disembarkation than most other major cruise lines. Norwegian Cruise Lines offer ten diverse restaurants with menus that change constantly to maintain the variety and, unlike many other popular cruise lines, they do not have fixed seatings for dinner.
The service on Norwegian is second to none and they staff almost one crew member per state room to ensure superior service to their passengers. Norwegian also takes a relaxed attitude towards attire and “resort casual” attire is the most that is required in their most elegant restaurants. Their freestyle cruising concept also transcends to the activities offered as well.
There is a wealth of activities that include adventurous shore excursions as well as on board activities that are available if you choose to participate. The crew can help to plan your daily activities or you can opt to simply relax and not participate in pre-arranged activities. Norwegian Cruise Line has also taken steps to simplify their disembarkation procedures to allow for a more relaxing final morning aboard their luxury liners.
