Norwegian Cruise Line Cruises, Booked by Travel Consultants Who Know the Fleet
What Norwegian feels like
Freestyle is the heart of a Norwegian cruise. You eat when you are hungry, in the restaurant you are in the mood for, dressed however you like. There is no assigned table and no set seating time, so the week moves at your pace rather than the ship’s.
The ships are lively, with Broadway-style shows, a wide range of restaurants and bars, and plenty to do on deck. Norwegian is part of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, alongside Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
What our clients tell us
Clients love how relaxed a Norwegian cruise feels. Show times and all-aboard are set, but almost everything else runs on your schedule, and the clock fades into the background. Isn’t that the point of a vacation?
They also talk about how inventive the ships are. How many roller coasters have you ridden at sea?
Solo travelers get real attention here, with staterooms designed for one and lounges built just for solo guests, so traveling alone feels planned for, not squeezed in.
The one thing clients raise most: more extras now sit outside the fare, which keeps posted prices competitive. Many tell us they would gladly pay a higher price that includes them, just to know what the trip costs. We lay out the full cost of your sailing before you book. In The Voyage Journal, we show how to compare cruise costs side by side: Not Another Cruise Cost Comparison, Stop Comparing Cruise Prices and Everything That’s Included. And Everything That Isn’t.
The ships: Prima class and Prima Plus
The Prima-class ships are Norwegian’s newest: Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, followed by the larger Prima Plus ships, Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna. Aqua and Luna carry the Aqua Slidecoaster, a hybrid of roller coaster and water slide.
Coming in 2027: Norwegian Aura. The line’s largest ship yet debuts in Europe in May 2027, then sails from Miami starting in June 2027, with seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruises that call at Great Stirrup Cay. Aura adds Ocean Heights, an open-air zone with five slides, a ropes course, a climbing wall and mini golf, plus a larger adults-only Vibe Beach Club.
The Haven: a ship within a ship
The Haven by Norwegian is a private, keycard-access suite complex with its own restaurant, lounge and sundeck, plus butler service. You enjoy the whole ship, then come back to a quiet, exclusive space of your own. Norwegian Aura has 159 Haven suites, the most in the fleet.
Why your stateroom choice matters
Book online or call the cruise line and you get whatever stateroom the system offers. We look at where it sits on the ship: away from late-night venues and busy corridors, with less motion, and close to what matters to you. We start with how you like to travel, search what is actually available, and choose the best stateroom with you.
Sailing from Central Florida
Norwegian sails from both Port Canaveral, about an hour from Orlando, and Miami. Norwegian Aqua sails seven-night Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral through the 2027–28 winter season, calling at Great Stirrup Cay, Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Great Stirrup Cay is Norwegian’s private island in the Bahamas.
Every Norwegian cruise we book includes Shore Secrets, our port guide with offline maps for each stop.

Norwegian questions we hear
What is Freestyle Cruising?
It is Norwegian’s approach to cruising: no set dinner times, no assigned tables and no formal nights. You dine when and where you like and plan each day your own way.
What is The Haven on Norwegian?
The Haven is a private, keycard-access suite complex with its own restaurant, lounge and sundeck, plus butler service. You get an exclusive space of your own on a lively, full-size ship.
What is the newest Norwegian ship?
Norwegian Luna joined the fleet in 2026. Norwegian Aura, the line’s largest ship yet, debuts in May 2027 and sails from Miami starting in June 2027.
Does Norwegian sail from Port Canaveral?
Yes. Norwegian Aqua sails seven-night Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral, about an hour from Orlando, through the 2027–28 winter season. Norwegian also sails from Miami.
Is the More at Sea package worth it?
It depends on how you travel. If you plan to enjoy drinks, specialty restaurants and Wi-Fi, it often reaches further than paying for each separately. We price your sailing both ways so you can decide.
Does it cost more to book Norwegian through a travel consultant?
No. You pay the same fare as booking direct with Norwegian Cruise Line. Through us you also get a stateroom chosen for how you travel, planning before you sail, and Shore Secrets port guides for every stop.
