There's a big difference between NCL and other cruise lines. Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is notable for revolutionizing the cruise experience via its "Freestyle Cruising" philosophy. It is a way to steer towards the modern cruising lifestyle, blending freedom and flexibility -- in dress codes, dining options and even entertainment offerings. You get to choose what you want to do, where you want to play, and whom you want to dine with.
There are 11 vessels sailing afloat with NCL – going most popular ports of call. The newest Norwegian Epic entered service in June 2010, which has revolutionized the concept of cruising with radical design - including curved staterooms, accommodation for single passengers, innovative nightlife options, multi-purpose indoor and outdoor spaces and the first Ice Bar at sea.
