Norwegian Cruise Liners

There are more than a few phenomenal cruise line companies that are willing to take you out to exotic destinations while wining and dining you on the most expensive and well-prepared cuisine all while hosting a variety of activities, shows and events that you and your friends or family can enjoy along your side. Norwegian Cruise Lines has been in operation since 1966 and they have seen unprecedented growth after a 2000 buy-out when Star Cruises, (the largest Asian cruise company) implemented what they called the “freestyle cruising” philosophy.

“Freestyle Cruising” Aboard!

“Freestyle cruising” is more than just having it your way: when you come aboard a ship in the fleet of the NCL, you become the boss. Your wishes are the staffs commands. Every facet of your cruise is meant to be custom tailored for what you enjoy under this philosophy and the NCL does a great job providing entertainment and excitement for all. Just a short list of some things offered on any given ship that you may embark on includes:

A two story video screen displaying Wii games of your (or your kids’) choosing
Multiple hot tubs and pools
Rock walls to climb
Well over a dozen eateries including

Restaurants
Café’s
Bars

Even along the stops you take while cruising your chosen vacation route, you will have a plethora of options available to you. If you want to go wave-running rather than hike ancient ruins, you can do so. If you’d like to take a day at the beach relaxing versus going on guided tours; that’s ok. NCL strives to suit your exact sense of vacation style!

The Epic, For the Win

Recently added to the Norwegian Cruise Lines fleet in 2010, the Norwegian Epic is a testament to modern ship building and is the epitome of luxurious cruise accommodations. It features a maximum capacity of four-thousand one-hundred people, it weighs nearly one-hundred fifty-six thousand tons and its length is nearly eleven hundred feet. Reserved for their pride of the seas, Norwegian offers unique performances by the Blue Man Group and Cirque du Soleil inclusive of the ticket price. While the Epic lives up to its name in entertainment and comfort value, it remains modestly priced at lowest reserve: for a studio, rental per day is a mere thirty-seven fifty! If money is no object and you’re looking for the most lavish accommodations, suites are available that are so big you could host your own parties inside without disturbing other cruise passengers!

Destination by Ship

Depending on which of the Norwegian cruise liners you wind up on will mean different destinations from the port from which you’re leaving. For instance, if you’re leaving from Miami, you may wind up on a two-day getaway without any intermediary ports or you could take an extended vacation down to the Bahamas while stopping at ports in Florida along the way. One ship that services from the HQ city of the Norwegian Cruise Lines is the Norwegian Jade.
