You can also make Norwegian Cruise Line group reservations for corporate groups, weddings at sea, or large family vacations. Many last-minute deals and short notice bookings are also available, especially during shoulder season for Alaska or Europe.
When you book a cruise Norwegian ships offer Inside cabins, Oceanview rooms, Balcony staterooms, Suites, and the ultra-luxury The Haven. Inside the fare you get entertainment, meals at complimentary dining, activities, and more. Norwegian cruise dinner reservations and specialty restaurant access can be added separately — this is where Norwegian cruise line dinner reservations and Norwegian dining reservations come in for premium steakhouse, Italian, Sushi, Teppanyaki, etc.
The best time to book Norwegian Cruise is during Wave Season (January to March) when Norwegian Cruise Line offers major discounts. Shoulder seasons (Spring / Fall) are best for Alaska or Europe — prices usually drop and availability is better. If you want last minute deals, check fares 30-60 days before departure.
NCL cancellation timelines vary by how many days before sailing you cancel. Generally, the farther in advance you cancel your Norwegian cruise booking, the higher the refund credit. If you cancel close to the departure date, cancellation fees may apply. Always check the fare terms when booking Norwegian Cruise Line reservations.

The price per person for an NCL cruise varies widely depending on the cruise length, ship, route, and cabin type. As a rough guide: for a 7-day cruise:
Interior or lower-tier cabins: often start around US$250–300 per person, per night
Balcony cabins tend to be higher, and suites can go significantly more, especially on premium ships or during peak seasons
The total cost depends on many factors:
Destination: Cruises to popular or remote destinations cost more
Time of year: Peak season sailings (like summer or holidays) are more expensive
Ship & cabin: Newer or more luxurious ships, or suites, cost more
Extras: Things like specialty dining, drink packages, Wi-Fi, and shore excursions add to the base fare
So, while the base fare may look affordable, the total trip cost can increase substantially once you include add-ons.

Norwegian Cruise Line uses a tiered cancellation-fee schedule, meaning the closer you cancel to your sail date, the higher the penalty.
Typical example for many itineraries:
119–91 days before sailing: 25% fee
90–61 days: 50% fee
60–31 days: 75% fee
30 days or less: 100% fee
Other key points:
Cancellation fees apply to the cruise fare and any add-ons (airfare, transfers, etc.).
Changing a passenger name or departure date is treated as a cancellation.
If final payment is not made on time, NCL may cancel the booking and apply fees.
No-shows receive no refund.
Yes, you can make changes — but important changes come with restrictions:
Changing your departure date or name on the booking is treated as a cancellation, meaning cancellation fees apply.
Other modifications may be possible, but they depend on availability and NCL’s rules at the time of the change.
Refund eligibility depends on when you cancel.
If you cancel before the final payment date, you may receive a refund minus any applicable fees.
Refunds must be requested in writing, and unused travel documents may need to be returned.
Refund processing usually takes 3–4 weeks.
After the cruise begins, no refunds are issued for cancellations or interruptions.
If NCL cancels or significantly changes your cruise:
They may substitute another ship or adjust the itinerary.
If your sailing is delayed by more than three days and you decline any offered alternatives, you may be eligible for a full refund, including port fees.
Refund requests generally must be submitted within a set timeframe and include supporting documents.
Illness or emergencies do not automatically qualify for refunds under NCL’s standard cancellation policy.
To recover your money, you typically need travel insurance, especially one that covers medical emergencies or offers Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) protection.
Without insurance, cancellations due to sickness or emergencies still fall under the regular cancellation-fee schedule.
