NCL urges agents to ‘book now’ as sailings continue to fill

Norwegian Cruise Line NCL

Sponsored by Norwegian Cruise Line

Ensure your customers see more, do more and enjoy more on their next holiday by pairing them with a Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) sailing – but act now, as cabins continue to fill

It’s safe to say consumers are no longer looking to “just get away” when it comes to booking a holiday. Instead, they’re on the hunt for enriching experiences which will provide them with unforgettable memories and more.

That’s why an NCL holiday should be your go-to recommendation for those who want to take the kind of holiday they dream about, with more time in port featuring unique destinations and longer itineraries.

Onboard an NCL ship they’ll find a variety of elevated offerings for every stage of their holiday – including the ThrillPlex activity zones, complete with race tracks and virtual gaming, as well as the Mandara Spa®, featuring a world-class Thermal Suite with multiple saunas and therapeutic rooms.

For foodies, the line offers a variety of cuisines across 20 restaurants and more bars and lounges across its fleet of 21 ships – including the new Norwegian Viva and soon-to-launch in 2025 Norwegian Aqua – than any other cruise line.

Recommend Bienvenido a Los Lobos for traditional Mexican flavours with a modern twist, like Carne Asada marinated in guajillo chilies and tequila, or Pinchos Tapas Bar for fans of Spanish cuisine, offering cheese and Iberico ham, cod croquettes and garlic shrimp.

With NCL’s More at Sea™ package, guests can make the most of all the above plus premium drinks and speciality dining, wi-fi and $50 shore excursion credits – what’s not to love?

But be sure to plan your customers’ trips ahead to secure better accommodation and their ideal stateroom before they sell out, as well as their preferred shore excursions.

Another benefit of cruising with NCL is the breadth of the line’s product. In 2025 the company will offer sailings to headline ports in Europe, North America, the Mediterranean, Asia and the Caribbean, to name a few.

On a seven-day Alaska: Dawes Glacier, Juneau & Ketchikan Round-trip Seattle cruise aboard Norwegian Bliss®, customers will have the chance to learn about Native American culture in Ketchikan, as well as take a trip to the nearby Misty Fjords National Monument – a glacier-carved wilderness featuring snowcapped mountains, waterfalls and salmon spawning streams.

Departures are available April through September 2025, with prices for inside cabins starting from £755pp and balcony staterooms from £1,200pp based on a 10 May sailing.

Elsewhere, on a seven-day Canada & New England: Bar Harbour & Halifax Round-trip New York itinerary aboard Norwegian Getaway®, guests can take in the rugged coastline which surrounds Halifax – the world’s second largest natural harbour – before stepping through history as they climb The Citadel to marvel at the Old Town Clock, which began keeping time for the British Army garrison in 1803.

The itinerary has departures August through October 2025. Inside cabins are available from £649pp and balcony cabins from £1,115pp, based on a 19 October sailing.

A 10-day Greek Isles & Italy: Santorini, Athens & Florence Round-trip Rome (Civitavecchia) cruise aboard Norwegian Epic®, meanwhile, offers customers the chance to take in some of Europe’s most sought-after cruise calls.

With two and a half thousand years of history, art and culture embedded throughout the streets, it’s no surprise Rome sits atop most Brits’ travel bucket lists. Here, guests can gaze at the masterpieces of the Vatican or meander into the past with visits to ancient relics, historic monuments and iconic museums. Or, for the more laid-back visitor, sit and sip a fresh espresso in a quaint café as they ponder which pizza to go for.

With departures between May and October 2025, customers can secure an inside cabin from £1,415pp or a balcony stateroom from £1,975pp, based on a 22 August sailing.

However your customers intend to travel in 2025, make sure to offer them a sailing with NCL to help boost your sales and ensure they have a holiday to look forward to that they will cherish forever.
