Cruise though Christmas and New Year the Freestyle way

27 October 2008... NCL Freestyle Cruising® is offering customers the chance to celebrate the festive season in style with 19 sailings over Christmas and the New Year.

With seasonal cruises across Europe, the Caribbean, Hawaii, the Bahamas and the Mexican Riviera, guests can take their pick from a wide range of warming winter escapes to banish those post summer blues.

NCL goes all out for Christmas, which means festive decorations, interactive holiday shows, on-board carols and Christmas Eve services - and on Christmas day itself, guests get to indulge in a lavish holiday-themed menu so lavish that even Santa himself would be overwhelmed!

The captain brings in New Year with a special countdown from the bridge, and following a decadent dinner of foie gras and Blue Point oysters in the main dining rooms, guests can kick start 2009 with some of the most electric parties at sea, including NCL’s White Hot Party and Monte Carlo Night.

Families looking to cruise can take advantage of NCL’s inter-connecting staterooms which offer a greater and more flexible space. Childcare facilities are also available on board meaning parents can relax knowing their kids are having just as much fun as they are, and with a choice of up to13 dining options, Vegas and Broadway-style shows, bowling, Nintendo Wii’s and so much more, there is something to keep everyone occupied.
