Miami – November 05, 2026 -- Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has launched its Black Friday sale with 50% off all cruises, plus its Free at Sea package, across the whole fleet and on every itinerary. The offer also covers the new Norwegian Aura and Norwegian Bella, which debut in 2027 and 2028.
For a limited time, NCL is adding bonus offers such as free prepaid gratuities or up to $1,000 off select sailings and staterooms. The sale applies to nearly 350 destinations, from Alaska and Europe to the Caribbean and the Bahamas.
Free at Sea packs more than $2,000 in value
The package includes specialty dining, an unlimited open bar, shore excursion credits and Wi-Fi. On select sailings, kids sail free. NCL says its ports near major airports, including Miami, Orlando (Port Canaveral), New York, Seattle, London (Southampton) and Rome (Civitavecchia), make getting to the ship easier.
Three- and four-day Bahamas cruises serve as a starter option
First-time cruisers can try the short Bahamas itineraries, which pack dining, entertainment and activities into a few days away.
Great Stirrup Cay adds a 19-slide waterpark
Expedia recently named NCL's Bahamas private island "Best Private Island for Cruises." Great Tides Waterpark has 19 waterslides, the industry's first cliff jumps and the Wandering River, a faster-paced lazy river. The Great Life Lagoon has two swim-up bars, and Vibe Shore Club is an adults-only beach retreat. Guests can also visit Harvest Caye, NCL's resort-style destination in Belize.
Norwegian Aura brings Indian cuisine and a nine-station food hall
Norwegian Aura debuts in May 2027 with Tamara, NCL's first specialty restaurant devoted to Indian cuisine. The guest-favorite Indulge Food Hall returns with nine globally inspired stations. Norwegian Bella follows in 2028, and the two are set to be the largest ships in the NCL fleet.
Onboard options range from racetracks to spa time
Thrill seekers can race on the only racetracks at sea or ride the Aqua Slidecoaster, billed as the world's first hybrid roller coaster and waterslide. Others can book the Mandara Spa or the adults-only Vibe Beach Club. Nightly entertainment includes original productions such as "Revolution: A Celebration of Prince" and "ELTON: A Celebration of Elton John." Accommodations run from solo staterooms to multiroom suites, including The Haven by Norwegian.
Alaska and Europe sailings are on offer
Next summer, Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Joy and Norwegian Bliss will sail Alaska from Seattle. Norwegian Jade will sail from Vancouver, British Columbia, and Whittier, Alaska. In 2027, NCL will have nine ships in the Mediterranean, Greek Isles and Northern Europe, departing from cities including Barcelona, Lisbon and Rome (Civitavecchia). NCL cites an average of more than 10 hours in port.
Bonus offers vary throughout the sale period, and terms and conditions apply.
