Are you looking to book a Norwegian Cruise Line cruise but want to know the age of the ship, its itinerary, and how many people it can hold? You’ve come to the right place.
I’m a huge cruise fan but that doesn’t mean I will book just any itinerary. Knowing what the ship has to offer, especially how new or old it is always plays a major role in how I book a cruise. This is why I created this post to break down Norwegian Cruise Line ships by age, class, and how many guests they can accommodate.
This post should help those looking to book the newest ships with the latest and greatest technology Norwegian Cruise Line has to offer. If there is something you would like to see included don’t hesitate to reach out via Twitter or shoot me an email.
