Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced a new brand positioning centered around the concept of "MORE," along with an enhanced vacation package called "More At Sea" set to launch for voyages beginning January 1, 2025.
The "More At Sea" package, an upgrade from the previous "Free At Sea" offering, aims to provide expanded benefits and premium inclusions. Key features include an extensive variety of premium drink brands across all spirit categories; additional specialty dining meals for cruises of seven days or longer; up to three appetizers and desserts included at each sitting; faster internet connectivity through Starlink, with each guest receiving 150 minutes of Wi-Fi; $50 credit per shore excursion for the first guest; free airfare for the second guest; and free sailing on select voyages for third and fourth guests.
NCL is also implementing changes to its specialty dining pricing structure, moving from a la carte to a flat cover charge system for sailings starting January 1, 2025.
"We have invested a lot of time listening to our guests and our travel partners...and we've found that what they want is to see more, do more and enjoy more when they vacation with us," said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. "They also want to do so with ease and simplicity, which is why today we are excited to announce the evolution of our signature 'Free at Sea' package to the all-new and elevated 'More At Sea' package."
In addition to the package enhancements, NCL is expanding its entertainment offerings across its fleet. New productions include "Revolution: A Celebration of Prince," set to debut on the Norwegian Aqua in 2025. Popular shows like "Elements" and "Syd Norman's Presents: Rumours" are being enhanced and relocated to accommodate larger audiences.
To improve the guest experience, NCL plans to roll out a new mobile app across its fleet by the end of this year. The app aims to streamline the cruise planning process, offering features such as easier onboard reservations, a simplified check-in process and a more transparent purchase history view.
NCL's fleet is set to expand with the addition of Norwegian Aqua in 2025 and Norwegian Luna in 2026, which will introduce new onboard experiences for guests.
