Norwegian Cruise Line
NCL Corporation is an innovative cruise company headquartered in Miami, Florida, with a fleet of 10 ships. The corporation is the holding company for various subsidiary companies involved in owning and operating the ships of Norwegian Cruise Line.
NCL is known for its signature Freestyle Cruising. Challenging the conventional model of cruising, this onboard program is designed to meet the changing needs of today’s cruise passengers. It offers NCL passengers a more relaxed, resort-style cruise product with complete flexibility and non-intrusive service of the highest standard. Hallmarks of the innovative onboard program include up to 20 places to eat (from casual to elegant), open seating and extended hours in the main restaurants, “resort-casual” attire each night, simplified tipping procedures, and a more leisurely disembarkation procedure.
In the summer of 2010, Norwegian Epic joined the fleet, expanding the concept of Freestyle to include entertainment, with headline acts such as Blue Man Group.
