Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced its largest promotion of the year for Black Friday, offering 50% off all cruises and the return of the popular, enhanced Free at Sea™ package. This limited-time sale began on November 5 and applies to all NCL ships and itineraries, including the forthcoming Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna. This sale targets guests planning 2026 family vacations across nearly 350 global destinations, such as Alaska, Europe, and the Caribbean.
The enhanced Free at Sea™ package offers amenities valued at over $2,000 in savings for a standard seven-night sailing. These benefits now provide greater value and consistency to more guests and include an unlimited open bar, three specialty dining meals for the first two guests, 150 minutes of Wi-Fi, and a $50 shore excursion credit per port for the first guest. Additionally, the promotion offers expanded savings on the unlimited beverage package and, on select sailings, includes free airfare for the second guest and free sailing for third and fourth guests. Guests are only responsible for covering gratuities.
NCL is highlighting its appeal for multi-generational and family travel with diverse offerings, including attractions like the world’s first hybrid rollercoaster waterslide and go-karts, alongside tranquil spaces like the Mandara Spa. In the Caribbean and Bahamas for 2026, NCL will operate 18 ships and open the new Great Tides Waterpark at its private island, Great Stirrup Cay, in summer 2026. Alaska and Europe itineraries will also feature large, recently renovated ships and extended port stays for immersive cultural experiences.
