IT HAS ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT make a truly memorable vacation: great accommodations, incredible destinations, superb food, and plenty of activities to keep everyone happily occupied. That’s the beauty of a cruise. In fact, there really is no better way to get the whole family together than aboard one of NCL’s magnificent ships. Whether you just want to bring the kids or have an extended family reunion, NCL delivers complete flexibility to make it the perfect family vacation.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY SHIPS
There’s no reason NOT to bring the whole family when you set sail with NCL especially when you consider that NCL offers flexible accommodations designed just for that purpose. Whether you’re traveling with small children, teenagers, grandparents, aunts, uncles or all of the above NCL’s ships provide the most versatile family accommodations anywhere. A variety of connecting staterooms and suites are available in most categories. Norwegian Daurn, Norwegian Star and the new Norwegian Jewel offer Penthouse Suites with separate rooms for parents and children.

Pride of America
—  Offers a whole new category of Family Suites designed to accommodate up to eight people. And for the ultimate in family cruising, Norwegian Dawn, Norwegian Star and Norwegian Jewel s Garden Villas have three separate bedrooms, each with a private bath, a living room, dining room and an expansive outdoor garden and rooftop deck. (A private butler and concierge make your family vacation just a little bit easier, too.)

KIDS CREW AND THE TEEN”S, TOO
While Mom is being pampered in the spa and Dad relaxes by the pool, they shouldn’t have to worry about what the kids are up to. That’s the beauty of NCL’s complimentary Kid’s Crew program. It gives kids of all ages something to happily occupy their time at sea while giving their parents complete peace of mind.  Custom designed for toddlers, teens and everyone in between, both Kid’s Crew and Teen’s Crew are supervised by a staff of highly trained youth counselors from leading universities and organizations. It’s more than just a kid’s pool (although NCL has that, too). Kids have a full range of activities available to them day and night video arcades, Playstation® games, movies, disco nights, cooking classes, treasure and scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, sports and parties. And Kid’s Crew is broken up by age group, offering activities appropriate for kids of all ages:

• JUNIOR SAILORS — Children ages 2-5 have their own children’s pool area, with activities like arts and crafts, painting and games. • FIRST MATES — For children ages 6-9, there are treasure hunts, pizza making and storytelling. • NAVIGATORS — Older children, ages 10—12, can participate in sports activities, scavenger hunts, parties or play in the video arcade. • TEENS —Those who need less supervision, teenagers from 13—17, can dance in the teen disco, play board and card games, enjoy socials with their peers, or watch movies. And there’s plenty for families to do together. Onboard activities range from swimming pools to sports and movies.., and so much more!

DESTINATIONS EVERYONE WILL LOVEI While the kids may not want to get off the ship after they discover all there is to do on board, a world of great destinations offers just as much entertainment. And it’s not just what they can see — it’s what they can do once they’re there. While the Caribbean, the Bahamas & Florida and Bermuda offer paradise for the grown-ups, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained. Snorkeling, catamaran cruises, and jungle treks are fun for everyone. And exploring ancient Mayan ruins or historic fortresses is not only interesting — it’s educational, too.

A trip to the Mexican Riviera offers more than just incredible beaches (although there are plenty of those). Kids of all ages will love discovering the rich historical sites almost as much as seeing the wonders of places like Acapulco, and those daredevil cliff divers.
Alaska is a vast wilderness just waiting to be discovered by everyone, with an incredible variety of wildlife, native history and charming villages. And Hawaii’s volcanic forests, Polynesian culture and historic monuments are just perfect for everyone!

FAMILIES SAVE ON 3RD AND 4TH PASSENGER PRICING
Why pay full fare for your kids when they cruise with you? You don’t have to when children share accommodations with two full-fare paying adults in the same stateroom. And that means you have more money to spend on the things that really make your vacation a dream come true.
