Norwegian Cruise Line was established in 1966. The cruise line's fleet is dedicated to offering its valued customers choices while on board. NCL's Freestyle Cruising philosophy allows all guests to have the kind of shipboard experience they want.
This philosophy includes the accommodations on board, as well as dining and activities offered. Norwegian Cruise Line ships offer a range of state room options, including suites, balcony staterooms and interconnecting staterooms for families.
On a NCL ship, meal time is relaxed. There are no assigned tables and no set times for eating. The ships feature a variety of dining options that are included in the fare, such as cafes, restaurants, grills, buffets and sports bars. Specialty restaurants on board are also available, and guests who wish to dine there are asked to pay a $10-$30 cover charge. Room service is also available.
