Norwegian Cruise Line has kicked off its Black Friday Sale, offering 50% off all cruises along with the return of the popular Free at Sea Package.

Starting November 5, this limited-time offer applies to all NCL ships and itineraries worldwide, including the all-new Norwegian Aqua™ and the upcoming Norwegian Luna™, debuting in 2026.

“With 50% off all cruises, now is the best time to plan your 2026 family vacation,” said Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “Norwegian’s curated itineraries and shipboard experiences allow our guests to effortlessly reconnect with those who matter all while maximizing value to make the most of every moment.” 

NCL has brought back its popular Free at Sea™ package as of November 5, offering guests over US$2,000 in value across all sailings. The program includes guest-favourite perks such as a premium beverage package, Wi-Fi, specialty dining experiences, and shore excursion credits.

For a standard seven-night sailing, the enhanced Free at Sea™ package features:

  • Unlimited open bar with premium spirits and 20% off bottles of champagne or wine
  • 150 minutes of high-speed internet plus discounts on upgrades to unlimited Wi-Fi
  • Three multi-course specialty dining meals for the first and second guest
  • US$50 shore excursion credit per port for the first guest

NCL says the upgraded program delivers greater value to more guests, with added Wi-Fi minutes, extra dining credits, and savings on beverage packages. Travellers are only responsible for gratuities—making the offer an exceptional value compared to land-based vacations.

In addition, on more than 650 select sailings, kids sail free, and the second guest flies free, in what the company says is one of NCL’s most family-friendly and flexible offers to date.

In 2026, Norwegian Cruise Line will feature an extensive roster of 18 ships sailing the Caribbean and Bahamas, giving Canadian travellers even more choice and flexibility. Highlighting the season is the debut of the all-new Norwegian Luna™, setting sail in Spring 2026.

The newest member of the Prima Plus Class, Norwegian Luna™ will offer many of the signature experiences guests love from sister ship Norwegian Aqua, including the Aqua Slidecoaster.

Next summer, NCL will sail three of the Company’s largest ships– Norwegian Encore®, Norwegian Joy® and the recently renovated Norwegian Bliss® in the region. Guests can choose from week-long, nine-day and 10-day sailings departing conveniently from Seattle, Vancouver, British Columbia and Whittier, Alaska.
