NCL Offers Free Shore Excursions for Kids on All 2012 Sailings
by Matt Hannafin
Guess which cruise line is making a big, big play for the family market? Today, NCL announced that families that book a 2012 cruise between now and May 13 are eligible for what they’re calling the Little Norwegians Explore For Free offer, in which kids 12 years and younger can take shore excursions with their parents/guardians for free, while teens (13–17) pay half price. That’s a heckuva deal, and it applies to all 2012 sailings fleet-wide for all ports of call, excluding only “motorized flight tours” (e.g., flightseeing by plane or helicopter), golf, and excursions to theme parks in Orlando, FL, and the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. All excursions must be pre-booked before you sail.
The deal follows a recent revamp of NCL’s entire children’s program, and the announcement that the line’s upcoming Norwegian Breakaway, which debuts in April 2013, will have the largest and most elaborate youth facilities in the company’s history.
