Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is an American mass-market cruise line founded in Norway in 1966 and headquartered in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Operating one of the largest fleets in the industry with 19+ ships ranging from 92,000 to 172,000 gross tons, NCL pioneered Freestyle Cruising — a concept that eliminated fixed dining times and formal dress codes in favor of flexible, casual onboard living. As the fourth-largest cruise line in the world by passengers, Norwegian is wholly owned by Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.
