You'll find our fleet of new ships have everything you need to have your perfect freestyle vacation.

Choices to make your mouth water.

In 2000, Norwegian Cruise Line pioneered the alternative dining concept and in the process, revolutionized the dining experience for the cruise industry. In the decade since, we've expanded our restaurant choices on all ships to include everything from tapas to teppanyaki. Your selection ranges from as many as nine fantastic dining options included in your cruise fare to a savory array of specialty restaurants created for those extra-special nights out. What are you hungry for?

Complimentary Dining

Morning, noon and night you'll find tempting restaurants, grills, buffets and cafés to satisfy any craving - and they are all included in your cruise fare. If it's a three-course feast you're in the mood for, welcome to our beautiful dining rooms that serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Maybe dining al fresco with ocean views is in order. You got it - our "endless" buffets offer indoor and outdoor seating with made-to-order omelets and pasta dishes, fresh salads and much, much more. Plus, there are casual grills by the pool, 24-hour eateries with your favorite comfort foods, lively sports bars, kid's cafés and of course dining à la pajamas with room service.

Speciality Dining

Every ship in our fleet also offers true Texas-style steakhouses, gourmet French bistros, Italian trattorias and that's just the beginning. Try our exotic Asian Fusion restaurants or be entertained by our master chefs as they grill up steak, seafood or chicken and veggies at our authentic teppanyaki grills. Some ships offer sophisticated supper clubs with dinner and dancing, Cirque Dreams" and Dinner shows with world-class acrobats and more. These specialty restaurants are optional and have a cover charge that ranges from $10 to $30 per guest.

Privacy without parallel.

Our unique Courtyard complex comes with exclusive access to a private pool deck, complete with hot tub, pool and exercise area. A dedicated butler and concierge are also at your service, as are a unique collection of services and amenities, including special theater seating, priority disembarkation, and a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine. Plus, aboard Norwegian Epic, when you want a bite to eat or your favorite cocktail, you'll have exclusive access to the private restaurant and private club. It's no wonder that for the second year in a row, CruiseCritic.com named Norwegian Cruise Line their Editor's Pick for "Best Suites".

A very plush makeover.

Every bed, in every stateroom, on every ship has upgraded linens, pillows, mattresses and memory foam mattress or toppers to give you the lushest, plushest, most comfortable bed you've ever slept in. So sleep in, order breakfast in bed and relax - you are on vacation.

The best entertainment on water.

Our ships are destinations themselves, filled from top to bottom with tons of award-winning fun and excitement. Whether it's experiencing Blue Man Group, catching a Broadway show, dancing the night away at our White Hot Party or laughing out loud to the world-famous Second City® comedy troupe, the party never stops.

Spa, Sports & Fitness

How about a mid-morning run 10 stories above the ocean? We built our cruise ships with jogging and walking tracks, great spas for the perfect massage, basketball courts and fitness centers with televisions, treadmills, and ellipticals, free weights, special classes, and more.
