The company is advertising up to $1,000 off all cruises, as well as its “More at Sea” package, which includes savings of over $2,000 on amenities like unlimited open bar, Wi-Fi, dining and shore excursion credits. NCL’s “Kids Sail Free” deal means kids can cruise for free as third and fourth passengers, and discounts are available for members of the military, educators, and residents of select states.
Ahead of Independence Day, veteran and active military members in the U.S. and Canada will receive a 35% discount on all Alaskan and European cruises sailing now through Sept. 30, 2025. This is an expansion of NCL’s year-round Military Appreciation Program, which offers a 10% discount on voyage fare and specialized experiences on board to members of the military.
Norwegian is also offering a larger discount for teachers this summer.

“Now is the best time of year to go somewhere new and create unforgettable memories in incredible destinations with the people we love most,” said David J.

This summer, Norwegian is all about giving guests even MORE value!”
For guests looking to travel to a cooler destination, Norwegian is offering Alaskan cruises aboard Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Joy, and Norwegian Bliss, which has recently been renovated. The ships will leave from Seattle, Vancouver, British Columbia and Whittier, Alaska on seven to 10-day Alaskan cruises.
