Norwegian Declares ‘Free Upgrades For All’ During Wave Promotion

To celebrate Wave Season a bit earlier than normal (it usually doesn't begin until after the first of the year), Norwegian Cruise Line is launching its “Free Upgrades For All” Sales Event. All new reservations booked through March 27, 2011 on select sailings on any of the line’s 11 Freestyle Cruising ships will receive an up to a four-category upgrade, along with e-coupons in on-board savings of up to $400. In addition, bi-weekly promotions beginning Jan 3, 2011 will feature special offers on select ships and destinations.

“Our special Wave season offers make this the perfect time to book a cruise for 2011 and beyond,” said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line’s chief executive officer. “A cruise vacation already represents a great value and now when combined with our Wave offers and signature Freestyle Cruising, there’s no better time to plan a cruise vacation.”

Norwegian Cruise Line is the innovator in cruise travel with a 44-year history of breaking the boundaries of traditional cruising, most notably with the introduction of Freestyle Cruising which has revolutionized the industry by allowing guests more freedom and flexibility. Today, Norwegian has 11 purpose-built Freestyle Cruising ships, providing guests the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed cruise vacation on some of the newest and most contemporary ships at sea. The Company has reached an agreement for two 143,000-gross ton vessels for delivery in 2013 and 2014.

Norwegian’s largest and most innovative Freestyle Cruising ship, Norwegian Epic, debuted in June 2010. Norwegian Cruise Line is the official cruise line of Blue Man Group, debuting for the first time at sea on Norwegian Epic, as well as the official cruise line of Legends in Concert, Second City® Comedy Troupe, Howl at the Moon Dueling Pianos, Gibson Guitar, and Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids. Cirque Dreams™ & Dinner is also featured on board Norwegian Epic as the first show of its kind at sea under a big top. For more information, visit NCL.com.
