Norwegian Cruise Line is the innovator in cruise travel with a 44-year history of breaking the boundaries of traditional cruising, most notably with the introduction of Freestyle Cruising which has revolutionized the industry by allowing guests more freedom and flexibility.

Today, Norwegian has 11 purpose-built Freestyle Cruising ships providing guests the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed cruise vacation on some of the newest and most contemporary ships at sea. The company has reached an agreement for two 143,000-gross ton vessels for delivery in 2013 and 2014.

Since 1999, Norwegian has launched 11 new ships – Norwegian Sky (reflagged into the U.S. registry and renamed Pride of Aloha in 2004, returned to the international fleet in July 2008), Norwegian Sun, Norwegian Star, Norwegian Dawn, Norwegian Spirit, Pride of America, Norwegian Jewel, Norwegian Jade (formerly Pride of Hawai`i), Norwegian Pearl and Norwegian Gem. Norwegian’s 11 ships with more than 26,000 berths represent approximately 11 percent of the overall cruise capacity in North America in terms of berths.

Norwegian launched Norwegian Epic, its newest and most innovative ship, June 2010. The 4,100-passenger ship features world-class entertainment never before seen at sea including Blue Man Group, Cirque Dreams & Dinner, Legends in Concert, The Second City and Howl at the Moon.
