Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian ships aren't as large as mega-monsters like Icon of the Seas. However, NCL's modest fleet offers impressive amenities and great itineraries worldwide. 

NCL Latitudes is Norwegian Cruise Line's loyalty program that rewards cruisers who frequently sail with the line. 

After your first NCL cruise, you are automatically enrolled in the Norwegian Latitudes program. The more you sail with Norwegian, the better perks you'll unlock. 

An unlucky cruiser thought he hit the jackpot after winning a free cruise only to receive an unexpected $47,000 medical bill. 

Mike Cameron and his girlfriend, Tamra Masterman, of Braham, Minn., set sail on a free Norwegian cruise that departed out of Miami, Florida, on January 5, FOX 9 reported. 

The passenger who jumped overboard while cruising on Norwegian Epic over Christmas has been identified. 

Dan McGilvray, 51, of Broomfield, Colorado, vanished after climbing over a balcony and leaping off the ship, bouncing off a lifeboat as he plummeted toward the sea. 

A Christmas cruise for one family ended in tragedy this week when a 51-year-old passenger went overboard while sailing with Norwegian Cruise Line.

While the ship was sailing from Jamaica to the Bahamas on a 7-night itinerary, the man plummeted to the sea. The victim - who went overboard around 3:00pm on December 26, 2024 - was traveling with a large group onboard Norwegian Epic, according to the cruise line.

For many, gambling in the casino is cruising highlight. From rows of slot machines to high-stakes poker tables, there are endless opportunities to gamble while cruising.

This past fall, I had the opportunity to sail on my first Carnival Cruise. After being a loyal Norwegian Cruise Line passenger with nine cruises under my belt, I was curious to see how the popular Carnival Cruise Line would compare to the Norwegian brand I know so well. 

Three major have announced significant changes to their drink packages which will cost passengers more money. 

Though these adjustments aim to streamline the beverage experience, prioritize safety, and improve overall service, they reflect an industry-wide trend toward higher cruise costs. 

The changes affect passengers sailing with Norwegian, MSC, and Carnival, with some cruisers likely to pay an additional $80 or more for drink packages on a 7-night cruise in 2025.

Norwegian Cruise Line's fleet is comprised of 20 ships, including the brand-new Norwegian Aqua, that range in size. 

Each ship belongs to a specific class, ranging from the Breakaway Plus Class with its largest ships in operation to the Sun Class. 

Though age makes a huge difference in the onboard experience, so does size. For example, you won't find as many amenities on Norwegian Sun as onboard Norwegian Joy or Viva.
