The Freestyle Cruising Pioneer
Imagine cruising at your own pace – doing what you want, when you want. Norwegian Cruise Line pioneered “Freestyle Cruising,” a concept that changed the industry by eliminating rigid schedules, assigned seating, and strict dress codes. With myriad dining options, some of the biggest thrills at sea, and a fleet of innovative ships, NCL delivers a cruise experience like no other line.
Whether you are a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveler, Norwegian’s relaxed yet exciting atmosphere makes every voyage feel uniquely yours.

Norwegian’s Freestyle Cruising Puts You in Command
Freestyle Dining on Your Schedule
Enjoy a delicious bottle of wine and a three-course dinner one night. Go for a fresh-off-the-grill hamburger the next. Don a suit or dress down – it is entirely up to you. Join friends at a table or make new ones at the bar.
With more dining venues than days in your cruise and zero scheduling pressure, Norwegian gives you the freedom to eat your way around the world. From Cagney’s sizzling steaks to Le Bistro’s French elegance, Teppanyaki’s theatrical cooking to the marketplace-style Indulge Food Hall on Prima Class ships – every palate finds its match.
The Haven – Ship-Within-a-Ship Luxury
Staying in The Haven feels like booking a boutique luxury hotel that happens to sail the world. Beyond the private courtyard, pool, and restaurant, it is the personal touches that stand out – your butler learns your preferences, the concierge secures your preferred show times and dining reservations, and priority embarkation means you are relaxing by the pool while other guests are still in line.
The experience rivals dedicated luxury cruise lines, yet you still have full access to Norwegian’s go-karts, waterslides, Broadway shows, and 15+ restaurants whenever you want a change of pace. Our advisors have sailed The Haven across multiple ships and can recommend which vessel offers the best Haven experience for your specific voyage.
Destinations Around the World
In line with Norwegian’s “doing what you want, when you want” philosophy, NCL’s Freestyle approach extends to their incredible range of destinations. There is almost nowhere on the planet Norwegian does not go – from the Caribbean and Bahamas to Alaska’s glaciers, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia.
Norwegian is also the only cruise line offering round-trip Hawaii sailings from Honolulu on a U.S.-flagged ship, plus they operate two private island destinations: Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas and Harvest Caye in Belize. Whether you are dreaming of a quick weekend getaway or an extended world voyage, Norwegian has the itinerary to match.
