Norwegian Cruise Line has a range of family-friendly itineraries to choose from for your next holiday, including destinations in Europe, Alaska, Hawaii and more.

If you’re looking for something closer to home, Norwegian Jewel’s forthcoming Asia Pacific sailing season is also not to be missed, providing an excellent opportunity to discover the local region with the whole family.

Returning to local waters fresh from a bow-to-stern refurbishment in November, Norwegian Jewel’s seven-day South East Asia round trip, departing from Singapore on November 5, 2018, is perfect for first time cruisers looking to find their sea legs in beautiful local waters.

Or, for those looking for a more far-flung adventure, Norwegian Jewel’s 13-day South Pacific sailing from Sydney, departing on January 5, 2019 and taking in the sights of Noumea, the Isle of Pines, Cairns and Airlie Beach is just the cruise for you.

Looking to travel a little further afield this Christmas? Why not take in the breathtaking sights of Hawaii from on-board Pride of America, the only cruise ship that sails round-trip from Honolulu year-round. With Norwegian’s unique seven-day Hawaii itineraries, you can stay overnight in both Maui and Kauai as well as visiting Oahu and the Big Island of Hawaii.
