A well-known cruise line known for its innovative approach to cruising, (NCL) was founded in 1966 by Knut Kloster and Ted Arison. It began its journey as a modest cruise operator with a single ship offering affordable Caribbean cruises. Over the years, NCL has become a major player in the cruise industry, boasting a fleet of 18 ships of various categories that sail to destinations worldwide, offering a wide array of itineraries and experiences.
The cruise industry remains one of the fastest-growing segments in global tourism, a testament to its enduring allure that draws over 30 million passengers annually. Weathering the storm of the pandemic, the industry has not only survived but emerged stronger, setting sail into the Asian waters with renewed vigour. With cutting-edge ships, captivating itineraries, and onboard experiences tailored for diverse travellers, the cruise renaissance is at its zenith.
After a hiatus of over three years, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) made its long-awaited return to Asian waters last November with its Norwegian Jewel ship, commencing an extensive six-month season of voyages to 11 countries in the region.
