NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE

---

---

Norwegian Cruise Lines has a long history having begun in 1966. 
 
It is a mainstream cruise line and similar to Carnival offers a low cost cruising option and is a favorite of passengers in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, and also a favorite of families.
 
On their newer ships in addition to offering standard rooms they also offers some of the largest suites found on any cruise ship afloat and those in the suites have options not available to any other passengers including dining, concierge and even a special outside deck.
 
It is well known for its Freestyle Cruising which provides guests with the opportunity to dine wherever and whatever time they want in the evening. 
 
They sail fourteen ships and many of the ships have other sister ships in their class of service.  The ships are very recognizable when in port and when at sea with their very colorful exterior hulls.
 
Their itineraries include: Australia/ New Zealand Bahamas, Bermuda, Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, Mexican Riviera, Pacific Coastal, Panama Canal and South America.  They sail many short duration cruises from three to seven days but also sail cruises of other lengths including some Pacific Ocean and North Atlantic Crossings.

They are the only cruise line that can offer seven day round trip Hawaii cruise as they make use of a United States based crew.
