Norwegian Cruise Line is the innovator in cruise travel with a 49-year history of breaking the boundaries of traditional cruising, most notably with the introduction of Freestyle Cruising that revolutionised the industry by giving guests freedom and flexibility to design their ideal cruise holiday. Cruising on Norwegians means no fixed dining times, relaxed attire, several distinct dining options, relaxed disembarkation and more lounges, bars, theatres and other entertainment and activity options. Today, Norwegian invites guests to Feel Free to explore the world on one of 14 purpose-built Freestyle Cruising ships, providing guests the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed, resort style cruise holiday on some of the newest and most contemporary ships at sea. Norwegian offers unique and exciting itineraries in all areas of the world, including the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, Mexican Riviera, Europe, South America, Canada & New England, Panama Canal, Alaska, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Additionally, Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of America is the only ship that sails year-round from Honolulu on seven-day intra-island Hawaiian cruises. Recently, the line was named "Europe's Leading Cruise Line" for the eighth consecutive year, as well as "Caribbean's Leading Cruise Line" for the third time and "World's Leading Large Ship Cruise Line" for the fourth year by the World Travel Awards.

Accommodations
Norwegian Cruise Line has the widest choice of accommodations afloat, the largest suites and the most interconnecting suites and staterooms to fit families of any size, so you can keep your crew together.
Like everything else on an Norwegian Cruise Line cruise, your room should be all about you. Tell us what you like and we'll make sure your mini-bar is stocked with your favourites. We also have a brand-new, improved room service menu with more options than you dreamed possible, so breakfast in bed - or even dinner on your balcony - is better than ever.
Every bed, in every stateroom, on every ship has upgraded linens, pillows, mattresses and memory foam mattress toppers to give you the lushest, plushest, most comfortable bed you've ever slept on. But don't worry, the fresh smell of Lavazza coffee beans will help get you out of that comfy bed whenever you're ready to start your day.
Thanks to Norwegian Cruise Line disembarkations, instead of being forced out of your stateroom at the crack of dawn to cram into a public area packed with people endlessly waiting - like every other cruise line - feel free to sleep in, hit the gym, eat a full breakfast, even see some live entertainment or go for a dip. When it's time to leave, we'll let you know. Prefer to get an early start? No problem. There's Express Disembarkation for those who want to get off the ship right away.
Aloha! Come aboard Pride of America for the best way to island hop Hawai`i. From the moment you step into the Capitol Atrium, with its soaring Tiffany-style glass dome and grand staircase, you’ll know this is a spectacular cruise ship.
