NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE - TRAVEL
NCL has pioneered a new
concept in cruise travel called NCL Freestyle Cruising. Basically, the
idea is to let passengers enjoy their vacation the way they want to without a
lot of imposing restrictions. If you have been on a cruise ship before
and were turned off by assigned meal times, dress codes, seating arrangements,
etc., then the NCL cruise experience may be what you are looking for.
NORWEGIAN CRUISE VACATIONS
One if the things that makes
Norwegian Cruise Lines different than other companies is that the level of
service is superb, with nearly one crew member for every passenger. This kind of
attentive service has earned NCL a stellar reputation among cruise passengers
everywhere.
NCL travels to just about any
destination that you might want to visit. Listed below are the areas that NCL
covers in its ports of call.
| Alaska |
Canada & New England |
| Bahamas |
Europe |
| Bermuda |
Hawaii |
| Panama Canal |
South America |
| Caribbean |

NORWEGIAN CRUISE SHIPS
All cruise lines have a range of
ships traveling to a multitude of destinations and NCL is no different. Most
large ships, including Norwegian, have swimming pools, fitness clubs, casinos
and jogging tracks.
In 2008 and 2009, NCL will have three
ships setting sail for Europe. The Norwegian Jade will even travel to the North
Cape in upcoming voyages.
For the time being, Norwegian has the
newest fleet in the industry, at least until 2010, when other cruise
companies will introduce new larger and smaller cruise ships for Alaska
passageways. The current line up of NCL cruise liners is given below.
| Norwegian Gem |
Norwegian Pearl |
| Norwegian Jade |
Norwegian Sun |
| Norwegian Spirit |
Norwegian Jewel |
| Norwegian Dream |
Norwegian Dawn |
| Norwegian Majesty |
Norwegian Star |
| Norwegian Crown |
Pride of America |
| Pride of Aloha |
Pride of Hawaii |
DISCOUNT NORWEGIAN CRUISE DEALS
Norwegian cruise ships offer
the chance to find a discount vacation package from numerous travel agents.
Currently, cruise deals are being offered on a 9 night Caribbean
cruise sailing from Miami and traveling to Tortola, Barbados and St. Lucia
with free upgrades. Also, an 11night Hawaiian cruise around the islands
is currently being offered for a special low price that represents a great
Hawaiian cruise deal.
As usual, early booking discounts are
available. However, the best cruise prices are usually found by
purchasing a last minute cruise special or by working with cruise
consolidators. Try to find a travel agent that conducts a large volume of
business with the cruise line that you would like to travel on. They will have
the latest cruise information and available discounts.
The cruise consolidators buys large blocks
of cruise deals at wholesale and them resales them at attractive prices.
However, you should be prepared to travel on short notice for most of these
cruise packages.
SUMMARY - NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINES
The big draw with Norwegian is the
Freestyle program. Obviously, other ships are now copying the Freestyle program,
but, for now, these guys have the lead. If vacationing to you means doing
things at your own pace in your own time, then you'll probably be quite thrilled
with NCL's approach to free you of schedules. If you would prefer the feel of
more of an on schedule itinerary-driven vacation trip, then you might want to
consider another cruise line.
If you are still uncertain of
which line to book your cruise vacation with, then here's the next step. Call the companies that you want to
sail with or
your travel agent and ask lots of questions - especially about any Cheap
Norwegian Cruise Line Deals.
