Help CenterNorwegian offers “Sail Away” fares, a stripped-down, no‑frills option for cruise bookings:
🛳 What Are Sail Away Fares?
-
Lowest cruise fare available in category IX, OX, BX & MX staterooms.
-
These fares often come with no included perks—unlike bundled offers like “More at Sea™”
- Sail Away Fares are typically available with closer-in sailings.
- Sail Away Fares are provided on a "Guarantee Stateroom" basis only, meaning that the guest cannot select their specific cabin location.
🎯 Who Is It For?
Ideal for budget-minded or last-minute cruisers who:
-
Just want the essentials—cruise and cruise fare only
-
Prefer to add extras (drinks, spa, Wi‑Fi) separately
-
Are flexible with cabin assignments—Sail Away bookings use “guarantee” categories, meaning your exact cabin number and location are assigned later
✅ Pros & Cons
| ✅ Pros | ⚠️ Cons |
|---|---|
| Lowest base fare option | No included extras—drinks, Wi‑Fi, specialty dining cost extra |
| Flexible—add only what you want | Fewer cabin location choices until late assignment |
| Great for minimalists | Little bonus (like shore credits, drink packages) |
📝 Summary
-
Sail Away fare = cabin + cruise + basic amenities, with no extras.
-
Guarantee cabin assignment—you'll get a cabin, but may not know which one until later.
-
Usually available right before sailing—last-minute bargain for flexible cruisers.
