Good to know
Norwegian Cruise Line, in a few facts
- Pioneered 'Freestyle' cruising in 2000, no fixed dining times or assigned tables, a format the whole industry has drifted toward.
- Norwegian Aqua introduced the Aqua Slidecoaster, the first hybrid rollercoaster-waterslide at sea.
- Its hulls wear signature artwork, commissioned artists paint each ship's bow.
