What is NCL's Freestyle Cruising?

Freestyle Cruising® is Norwegian Cruise Line’s signature approach to cruising, offering guests maximum freedom and flexibility to design their vacation experience on their own terms—no fixed dining times, no formal dress codes, and a relaxed atmosphere throughout.

🚢 What Is Freestyle Cruising?

Freestyle Cruising means:

• You choose when and where to dine

• No assigned seating in the main dining rooms

• No formal nights (unless you want to dress up!)

• Wide variety of dining, entertainment, and activity options every day and night

• Relaxed dress code, especially in casual venues

🍽 Dining Your Way

• Main Dining Rooms: Walk in anytime during open hours—no reservations required

• Buffets & Casual Spots: Eat when you want, with no lines or schedules

• Specialty Restaurants: Optional upscale dining (e.g., steakhouses, sushi, French bistros) for a cover charge or à la carte pricing

• Flexible Meal Times: Eat early or late, dine with your travel companions or meet new people

🧥 Dress Your Way

• No required formalwear

• Most evenings are “resort casual”—nice jeans, polos, summer dresses, etc.

• If you love to dress up, go for it! Some guests still enjoy wearing cocktail or formal attire on certain evenings

🎭 Entertainment Flexibility

• Multiple shows per night

• Reservations recommended for top shows, but often not required
