Freestyle Cruising
Norwegian Cruise Line is All About Freestyle Cruising®
A little thing like having a set dinner time can send a ripple through your whole day. That's why Norwegian invented Freestyle Cruising, a revolutionary concept where you can eat when you're hungry at your choice of more than 20 different dining options onboard. And it's more than just Freestyle Dining:
- Freestyle Activities: there are lots of activities you can enjoy, like bowling at the first ever bowling alley at sea, indulging in spa treatments, trying any of Norwegian's Shore Excursions, testing your luck in the casino - or just sit back and relax - it's completely up to you.
- Freestyle Accommodations: If you want to take the whole family along with you, Norwegian offers plenty of connecting staterooms, as well as the exclusive Garden Villas - the largest, most opulent accommodations afloat.
- Freestyle Entertainment: Norwegian offers never before seen at sea entertainment onboard their newest ship, Norwegian Epic, such as Blue Man Group, Legends in Concert, Cirque Dreams™ & Dinner and Howl at the Moon, giving you a wide array of choices during your cruise to choose the type of entertainment you're in the mood for.
- Freestyle Attire: dress up or dress down, it's completely up to you.
- Freestyle Disembarkation: no need to herd off the ship first thing in the morning. Relax, have breakfast, hit the gym. Norwegian has streamlined the process so you don't have to rush.
And remember, Freestyle Cruising is available exclusively with Norwegian Cruise Line
