About Norwegian Cruise Line
“Freestyle Cruising starts with a wide range of dining options all included in your cruise price, and all available on your schedule. The freedom continues with entertainment for everybody. From Broadway shows, to adults-only clubs where you can dance 'til dawn, to supervised activities for kids and teens. When it's time to recover from the excitement, you can retreat to accommodations designed for the way you cruise.” — Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian Cruise Line has been rewriting the rules of cruising since December 1966, when the newly formed Norwegian Caribbean Lines sailed its first voyage from Miami to Nassau. Six decades later the company still calls Miami home, and still sees itself as the industry's boundary-breaker, most famously with Freestyle Cruising, which did away with fixed dining times and pre-assigned seating and gave guests the run of the ship.
The award-winning fleet now numbers 21 contemporary ships sailing to nearly 350 destinations worldwide. Ships span seven classes, from the classic Sun, Dawn, and Jewel classes through the popular Breakaway and Breakaway Plus generations to today's Prima and Prima Plus classes, along with one-of-a-kind vessels like Norwegian Epic and the US-flagged Pride of America, which sails Hawaii year-round. The newest ships, Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna, bring headline attractions such as the Aqua Slidecoaster, a first-of-its-kind hybrid roller coaster and waterslide.
The onboard experience is built for choice: dozens of dining venues, Broadway-caliber entertainment, dedicated kids' and teens' programming, and The Haven, the line's exclusive suite enclave. Norwegian's More At Sea program layers on unlimited open bar, specialty dining, and Starlink-powered Wi-Fi. It is an easy fit for multigenerational families and empty-nesters alike who want resort-scale variety with genuine flexibility, whether in the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, or beyond.

Age requirements: Infants under six months of age are not eligible for travel on Norwegian ships. Infants sailing onboard a Norwegian vessel must be at least six months of age at time of sailing. However, for voyages that have 3 or more consecutive days at sea, the infant must be at least 12 months old at time of sailing.
A minor is defined as an individual under 18 years of age at the time of embarkation.
A young adult is defined as an individual between the ages of 18 and 20.
Company policy dictates that a passenger under 21 years of age must be accompanied in the same or connecting stateroom by a passenger 21 years of age or older at the time of embarkation.
For passengers under the age of 18 traveling with an accompanying adult, who is not the minor's parent or legal guardian, a PARENT/GUARDIAN CONSENT RELEASE FORM that authorizes the minor's travel and further authorizes medical treatment in case of an emergency must be delivered to a Norwegian representative at the pier during check-in. Failure to produce this letter at embarkation may result in boarding being denied, with no refund of cruise fare provided.
To register - On all ships, a one-time digital registration form is to be completed by a parent or guardian (if child is not traveling with their parent) for each child/teen age 3 - 17. Children/teens can then participate as frequently as they choose during operating hours with space availability.
