As the new year dawns, travellers across the world are passionately making up for lost time, packing their bags for carefully planned as well as impromptu holidays. Their bucket lists are longer as they seek to explore new and unique immersive travel experiences. Cruising, in particular, has caught the fancy of these travellers, including Indians. In fact, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), celebrated the best booking week in its history in November last year!

What's more, eight in ten Indians are considering an international cruise holiday in the next 12 months, according to a recent survey conducted by Hansa Research on behalf of NCL. As the industry gears up for its biggest year ever, here are five reasons why a vacation with NCL will help you tick-off your cruise wish-list:
Where the journey becomes the destination
With cruising, there's no packing and unpacking multiple times. Simply unpack once and enjoy a multi-destination trip without the hassle and admin of checking in and out of hotels, lugging around luggage and running to catch connecting flights.
While sailing from port to port on board one of NCL's 18 modern ships - visiting some of the world's most exotic and in-demand locations - guests will enjoy an array of world-class amenities, entertainment and dining.
NCL has opened up drool-worthy sailings through 2025, with voyages to new and unique destinations across all seven continents, including Europe, the Caribbean, Alaska, Asia, Australia and even Antarctica! And with itineraries designed to provide more time on-shore together with shore excursions that explore the very best of each destination, NCL guests get the opportunity to soak in the different cultures and destinations they visit and connect deeply with the world around them.
Accommodation for all age groups in a multi-gen family
Family travel emerged as an important travel trend for Indian families in 2023. With more than two years of missed travel opportunities, families are looking to travel together again to strengthen their bonds, enjoy each other's company and enhance their sense of wellbeing. To cater to large multi-generational travelling groups, NCL has a host of accommodation options at multiple price points to suit families of all shapes and sizes. Travellers can choose from the popular Oceanview and Balcony staterooms, solo staterooms including dedicated solo lounge, family mini-suites, two-bedroom suites, and even interconnecting staterooms. For those looking for an elevated cruise experience, 'The Haven by Norwegian' is the brand's ship-within-a-ship concept known for its spacious accommodations and exclusive public areas such as a private swimming pool, lounge and restaurant. The keycard-access area is a particular favourite amongst grandparents travelling with their extended families, offering the intimacy of a smaller vessel without foregoing the variety of activities and amenities enjoyed on larger ships.
Norwegian Prima
Treat for your taste buds
We'll all agree, food can either make or break a vacation. What makes this food experience even more special is the fact that NCL has completely modernized cruise dining - it's called Freestyle Cruising and means you eat when and where you like. No pre-assigned seating, dining time or dress code means guests can go with their mood, definitely a plus when travelling with the kids. You can pamper your taste buds at NCL's wide range of specialty restaurants and bars that serve some of the most diverse world cuisines and drinks, from mouth-watering steaks at Cagney's Steakhouse, fine French fare at Le Bistro, modern Asian-fusion at Food Republic and simply, contemporary and tasty Italian at Onda by Scarpetta. NCL's newest ship, Norwegian Prima also features NCL's first-ever Indulge Food Hall featuring 11 different complimentary eateries - including authentic Indian offerings at Tamara which has its own tandoor.
Award-winning entertainment

Innovative and interactive onboard experiences
