Sail Norwegian Cruise Line for Tons of Family Fun

Norwegian Cruise Line is a vacation favorite for families everywhere, loved for its highly rated entertainment and delicious dining. Norwegian cruise ships in the Breakaway class also feature incredible multi-story waterslides: Check out the one-of-a-kind Free Fall slide for thrill-seekers!

When it's time to relax, hit the spa, where you'll find hot tubs and a thermal suite. At night, you can enjoy one of the shows that Norwegian Cruise Line is famous for, like Burn the Floor or the Tony-award-winning hair metal show Rock of Ages.

While there are many activities for families to enjoy, when you book a Norwegian cruise, you'll also find opportunities for parents to get some alone time. Try the Spice H20 top-deck getaway for adults only. You'll also find dinner theater like the acrobatics of Cirque Dreams or the Illusionarium magic show.

Dining on Norwegian cruise ships is comfortable and casual, with no strict dining times and an informal dress code. On a Norwegian cruise, you can be yourself while enjoying endless opportunities for entertainment, lots of thrills, and a huge selection of dining options. To experience it all for less, book our Norwegian cruise deals today!
