Freestyle Cruising
When you have thousands of choices, all of them right, that's Freestyle Cruising on Norwegian Cruise Line
It's your vacation and you should have the freedom to enjoy it on your terms. Dress up or down. Sleep in or catch a sunrise from your own private balcony. Take in some never-before-seen entertainment at sea. Even eat somewhere different every day, on your own schedule. Whether you're on board or on shore, you can do as much or as little as you please. It's all up to you. And the best part - no matter what you choose, you can't go wrong.
With our expert staff and crew totally committed to taking care of all the details, it won't be long before you'll see exactly why Freestyle Cruising is such an easy, carefree cruise experience. When you can lose track of time and not miss a thing, that's the freedom of Freestyle Cruising on NCL.
Dining
The idea that changed how you vacation actually came to us over dinner
Freestyle Dining-it's how Freestyle Cruising began. With no fixed dining times or pre-assigned seating, you'll have more freedom throughout your entire cruise vacation. With so many different places to eat on board, you can experience all kinds of dining options - perhaps a different one every day.
Included in your cruise fare are two main dining rooms offering a tempting selection of entrees, our plentiful buffets with made-to-order specials and a variety of casual cafes, grills and on-the-go choices. From fresh-baked breads, desserts and pastries to our Chef's original dishes made with the freshest ingredients, everything is created to satisfy and delight.
In addition to all of the complimentary dining options available, Norwegian also pioneered the concept of specialty restaurants. For a nominal charge, you can experience a world of different cuisines and atmospheres - from the finest French Bistros at sea to traditional Italian dishes served in a Trattoria-style setting. Perhaps you'd enjoy more traditional dining at our signature steakhouse, or, if the mood strikes, watch our Hibachi chefs prepare delicious entres tableside at Teppanyaki. When your vacation isn't interrupted by a dinner bell, that's Freestyle Cruising.
Entertainment
Everybody has a different idea of a great vacation. We're ready for that
At any given moment, day or night, you'll find plenty to do. Be inspired, chill out, have fun, be active, slow down, explore destinations - you name it we probably have it. Everything from award-winning spas to action-packed casinos can be found on board. Experience the thrill of onboard rock climbing, or the quiet of hydrotherapy. Or maybe you'll want to try something totally new and different - like throwing some strikes at the only bowling lanes at sea, dancing all night at our themed events and parties, or sitting front row seat at any of our industry-leading entertainment. With Freestyle Cruising, you truly can expect to find the unexpected on your vacation.
Accommodation
With rooms like these, it's a shame you can't be in two places at once
With the widest range of accommodations at sea, NCL makes sure you find the one perspective that matter most-yours. Whether you choose a comfortable balcony stateroom, a 2 bedroom family suite, a private villa with breathtaking walls of windows, or an exclusive Spa Suite, you'll find it's virtually impossible to wake up on the wrong side of the bed. You'll also have a large selection of oceanview and inside staterooms to choose from. When your toughest decision is whether to stay in or go out-that's Freestyle Cruising.
Freestyle Cruising is all about giving you the freedom you need to have the vacation you want. It's about 11 modern ships that can take you to all of those places you've always wanted to go. It's about thousands of choices, all of them right.
