Norwegian Cruise Line is one of the world’s top “premier” cruise lines. But what sets Norwegian Cruise Line apart from the rest is its laid-back atmosphere, which may be absent from most premier cruise lines, and its low prices. In fact, Norwegian Cruise Line prices are lower than just about every premier or luxury cruise line in service today.
This innovative cruise line offers freestyle cruising coupled with luxury amenities for those looking for a little something extra. “Freestyle Cruising” means that passengers have the freedom to choose when to dine, when to dress-up or down, when relax or when to party, and even when to disembark. In a nutshell, what you do and when you do it is 100% up to you.
With Freestyle Cruising, there are no schedules and even the accommodations are flexible. This means, passengers will have their pick of an excellent assortment of accommodation types including: 3-bedroom rooftop Garden Villas, inside staterooms, and large family suites. Now that you know the ins and outs Norwegian Cruise Lines Freestyle Cruising style, it’s time to get to know the ships, and everything else this cruise line is about!
