Smooth Sailing: Embark on the Ultimate Cruise Adventure

Norwegian Cruise Line invites you to ‘Experience a Different Tomorrow’ – unpack once and wake up in a new destination nearly every day, with the freedom to do what you want, when you want, while on board and offshore.

If you fancy spending the day recharging in the onboard spa, go for it! Or perhaps you want to explore the sites in Barcelona or Cannes, or stroll the quaint streets of Florence before riding around the world’s first three-level race track at sea. Ultimately, you have the freedom to decide your day and experience a totally different tomorrow.

And the great news is you’ve still got time to book your 2024/2025 Europe cruise, with 35 percent off and access to NCL’s Free at Sea. These bonus offers mean you can enjoy a free open bar, free specialty dining, free shore excursions, WiFi and more, all included in your cruise fare!

If you want to discover Europe by sea, then NCL’s Europe 2024-2025 season will see 12 ships cruising the continent’s waters. More than 350 port-rich itineraries explore over 160 ports of call across Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and Greek Isles. Popular departure ports include Rome, Athens and London, with highlights taking in Lisbon, Cannes, Istanbul, Seville (Cadiz), Bordeaux and Corfu.

NCL has also unveiled six immersive shore excursions to enhance your cruise even more, deliver authentic experiences, and help you discover more about each destination you stop at.   

Beyond Blueprints features a bespoke collection of 15 tours that scratch beneath the surface to uncover the design secrets and stories behind some of Europe’s most iconic architectural landmarks. For example, explore La Villa Mediterranée and MUCEM in Marseille, France, or Victoria Square and Titanic Belfast in Belfast, Northern Ireland, or Riverside Museum and Glasgow Science Museum in the Scottish capital of Glasgow.

The Gourmet Tours have been curated to offer foodie-driven globe trotters a true taste of travel, with each of the experiences taking guests behind the scenes to delve into the local cuisine of some of Europe’s most iconic culinary destinations. From port-to-port, you can sink your teeth into cooking classes led by local artisans to eating at family-owned homesteads and much more.

If you’re looking for authentic experiences that delve into local lives, the Go Local packages are right up your street. These carefully designed shore excursions deliver cultural experiences that connect you with locals in a truly meaningful and memorable way. If you fancy spending a day at a farm in Kusadasi, Turkey, or perhaps exploring Florence in the shoes of a local, then this is for you.

In an era where social media rules, NCL has crafted a series of Let’s Take a Selfie excursions that take you to the world’s top photo destinations. Fear not if your photography skills aren’t up to scratch because an expert guide is on hand to share the perfect angles and most picturesque spots to capture all of those unforgettable moments.

If there’s a group of no more than 16, then NCL’s Small Group Tours offer the perfect intimate experience. While the Design Your Day excursions deliver a range of bespoke experiences curated just for you. Think private wine tastings and five-course dining experience at a Michelin starred restaurant. 

In addition, NCL’s brand-new Prima Class launched last year, along with the inaugural sailing of Norwegian Viva in August. NCL’s Prima Class serves a brand-new class of cruising, boasting NCL’s most spacious accommodation to date, Mandara Spa and fitness centre, and the ultimate in culinary feasts. There’s also access to Starlink high-speed internet, meaning you can keep your friends and family back home constantly jealous about your adventure.

Embark on an unforgettable 11-day Mediterranean adventure across Italy, France, and Spain. Alternatively, there are plenty of Prima Class cruise itineraries in October and November that take in Italy, France, Spain, Greece, and Portugal. So, for the ultimate ocean adventure curated just for you, book today!
