Norwegian Cruise Line has reinvented holidays at sea. Since its introduction in 2000, our guests have discovered just how different Freestyle Cruising is from ordinary cruising. As we continue to challenge conventional thinking and expand the concept of Freestyle Cruising still further with more ships and more staff than ever before, we know you'll have more fun than ever before. With Freestyle Cruising, you get to do just what you want to do. You want to eat early, you eat early. You want to dine with friends, you join them. You want to wear black tie or no tie, that's fine, too. You want to lie around in bed all morning or surf the web after midnight-be our guest. Freestyle Cruising is all about making the best of the most exciting destinations and the kind of freedom you'll only find at sea.
On board, we've done away with dinner seatings. So whether you prefer to turn up on spec or make a reservation, you're completely free to vary where and when you dine out. Not to mention who sits at your table. A table for two or a party of ten, it's up to you. The same goes for the way you dress. Evenings are smart casual, that's all. And if you do want to dress up, you'll get the chance-but it's completely optional.
