Norwegian Cruise Line

This week I returned from my first solo cruise experience with Norwegian Cruise Line, aboard the Norwegian Encore. This was my second time sailing on one of Norwegian Cruise Lines’ Breakaway Plus Class ships, and I really enjoyed this quick 4-night sailing! 

Cruise vacations in my opinion are one of the absolute best ways to travel! Cruising delivers the best of travel experiences at minimal planning, reduced stress, and a fair price. 

The cruise line industry is ever growing and expanding. It seems like every year there are new ships and shinier vessels hitting the high seas, and this year is no exception! With the debut of brand new mega and modern cruise ships such as the Norwegian Viva, what is it like to cruise on an older ship in 2023? 

Norwegian Cruise Line is one of the most popular mainstream cruise lines in the industry. This cruise line has a large fleet with 18 vessels sailing around the world.

While I’ve mostly sailed with Royal Caribbean in my life, I’ve been intrigued more recently by Norwegian Cruise Line. The cruise line’s focus on accessible luxury and exotic itineraries is very appealing to me. For example, Norwegian Cruise Line is the only mainstream cruise line to offer frequent sailings around Africa - and I’d love to try one of these soon!

Cruising is one of the best ways to travel. Not only can you see multiple destinations without ever needing to unpack your suitcase, but cruising is an affordable, nearly all-inclusive style of vacation.

A standard cruise features seven-night itineraries, but you can find a variety of sailings that are both longer and shorter than this. You can even take cruises that sail around the world for hundreds of days!

Norwegian Cruise Line is one of the most popular mainstream North American cruise lines and offer cruises to destinations across the world on their fleet comprised of 18 ships. 

If you are sailing on a Norwegian cruise in the upcoming future, you might be debating on purchasing one of their drink packages. 

When it comes to cruise travel, most prospective guests tend to gravitate towards the newer ships full of new and exciting amenities and the promise of an epic vacation. But what is it like to sail on an older cruise ship? Specifically, what is it like to sail on an over 20 year old Norwegian Cruise Line ship?

When it comes to choosing a cruise line for your next sailing adventure, one of the biggest factors is the destinations that the ships visits and the itineraries that the cruise line offers. 

A huge portion of cruising is the experience onboard the ship, however, arguably one of the most important factors of cruising is where the ship docks - transporting guests to new and exciting destinations and experiences in a truly unique way. 

Norwegian Cruise Lines is one of the biggest names in the cruise line industry. Because of their sheer size, Norwegian is able to offer many different types of stateroom and cabins to its guests. I recently sailed onboard the Norwegian Bliss and stayed in a room, that all said and done, cost $1,700 total for the cruise.
