NCL's aim is to provide "Freestyle Cruising" to wash away the confines associated with traditional cruising and this means flexibility with a capital "F". For a start, they have the most flexible accommodation on the seas, to cater for any size family, group or budget. There are staterooms and suites which can connect up for larger parties and for the ultimate in luxury there are even 3 bedroom rooftop garden villas and courtyard villas, arranged around their own exclusive pool!
This choice continues with food and drink. For a start there's no dress code, so you can wear jeans or dress to impress. There are also no fixed dining times, for example you can eat dinner from 5.30 ‘til midnight! Then there's the fact that with up to thirteen restaurants per ship you'll never have to eat in the same one twice. So think steak, sushi, tapas, French, Asian Fusian, Tex Mex, Italian and much more!
Sports and facilities feature large on board. You can go bowling, hit the spa, sing some karaoke, or try some spinning. The fitness centres are even open 24 hours a day! Onshore there's even more choice with diving, surfing, hiking or biking as just a few options.
And kids from ages 2-17 are looked after with Kid's Crew & Teen's Crew programmes, all centred around their own pool. They'll be enjoying pyjama parties, scavenger hunts, teen discos, video arcades and movie theatres.
And with fourteen ships, travelling to 110 ports of call, there's plenty of choice with where your cruise can take you too, so for modern families looking for fun holidays with a twist, NCL could be the cruise line to choose.
