15th July 2003. Norwegian Cruise Line’s (NCL) Advance Cruise Collection Brochure, available from 14th July 2003, will feature a range of Freestyle Cruising itineraries in Hawaii, Alaska and Scandinavia starting at just £999 per person for holidays taken between January 2004 and April 2005.

The brochure features cruises on-board five of NCL’s 11 strong fleet; Norwegian Dream, Norwegian Sky, Norwegian Star, Norwegian Wind and Norwegian Sun. All five ships operate NCL’s unique Freestyle Cruising concept, offering customers ultimate flexibility and choice throughout their trip, whether it is where and when they want to eat, or what they want to wear.

The Advance Cruise Collection is also the first brochure to feature NCL’s new “NCL America” brand, which includes the Pride of America, the latest addition to the fleet. The Pride of America will sail exclusively in the Hawaiian Islands from July 2004.
