Free At Sea™: The Upgrade That Makes Every Cruise Feel Even Bigger
05/08/2026
There are cruises that take you somewhere new every day, and then there are cruises that let you enjoy every moment in between. That's exactly where Norwegian Cruise Line's Free At Sea™ upgrade comes in.
Instead of spending time deciding what to add once you're on board, you can set sail knowing some of the best parts of your holiday are already waiting for you. Think memorable meals, perfectly poured drinks, staying connected when you choose, and exploring ashore with even more freedom.
Suddenly, every day has a little more possibility.
A Holiday That Works Around You
No two travellers are the same, so why should every cruise feel identical? Norwegian Cruise Line has built its experience around flexibility, giving you the freedom to dine when you fancy, spend your evenings exactly how you like, and fill each day with as much, or as little, as you please.
Upgrade to Free At Sea™ from just £249 per person on selected sailings, and you'll enjoy a package that can include a Premium Beverage Package, Speciality Dining Package, Wi-Fi and Shore Excursion Credits, giving you even more ways to personalise your time at sea.
Say Yes to the Extras
The best memories are often the unexpected ones. A leisurely dinner in a speciality restaurant after an afternoon exploring a new city. A sunset cocktail on deck. Sharing photos from your latest adventure before the ship sails away. Free At Sea™ helps make those little moments easier to enjoy, so you can focus less on the extras and more on making every day count.
It's a simple way to add even more value to your cruise while giving yourself the freedom to experience everything that makes life on board so special.
Discover Something New Every Day
One of the joys of cruising with Norwegian Cruise Line is waking up somewhere different. From colourful Mediterranean harbours to charming Northern European cities, your hotel travels with you, while the scenery outside changes by the day.
With Shore Excursion Credits included as part of the Free At Sea™ upgrade, discovering each destination becomes even more rewarding. Wander through ancient streets, uncover local flavours, or simply soak up spectacular scenery; however you choose to explore, every port brings another story home.
The Ship Is Part of the Adventure
Of course, the destinations are only half the experience. Norwegian Cruise Line's ships are destinations in themselves, filled with award-winning entertainment, stylish lounges, indulgent spa experiences, fantastic shopping and up to 26 dining venues on selected ships.
Whether you're enjoying a lively theatre performance, unwinding by the pool or trying somewhere new for dinner, there's always another corner of the ship waiting to surprise you. The hardest decision? Choosing what to do next.
