 Norwegian Cruise Lines  

NCL Corporation is an innovative cruise company headquartered in Miami, Florida, with a fleet of 15 ships in service and under construction. The corporation oversees the operations of Norwegian Cruise Line, NCL America, and Orient Lines. NCL is known for its signature Freestyle Cruising. Challenging the conventional model of cruising, this onboard program is designed to meet the changing needs of today's cruise passengers. It offers NCL passengers a more relaxed, resort-style cruise product with complete flexibility and non-intrusive service of the highest standard. Hallmarks of the innovative onboard program include up to 10 restaurants, open seating and extended hours in the main restaurants, resort-casual attire each night, increased crew-to-guest staffing up to the level typically found at top shoreside resorts, simplified tipping procedures, and a more leisurely disembarkation procedure. In May 2003, NCL announced a new U.S. Flag brand - NCL America - under which all of its U.S. flagged, U.S. crewed ships operate. The brand was officially launched on July 4, 2004 with the christening of Pride of Aloha, the first modern ship to sail the stars and stripes in 50 years. The company christened its newest NCL America ship, Pride of Hawaii on Saturday, May 20, 2006, the largest and most expensive U.S. flagged passenger ship ever built. NCL is currently building two ships, Norwegian Pearl scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2006 and Norwegian Gem scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Norwegian Cruise Lines Kids Program

Norwegian's fun and flexible Kid's Crew and Teen Club programs are designed for kids from age 2 to 17. The well-trained counselors offer an age-appropriate array of fun-filled options so kids can get as much excitement out of the cruise as their parents do.

NCL's Kid's Crew Program
Activities are organized according to age group.

Junior Sailors (ages 2-5)
Junior Sailors are amused by storytelling, T-shirt painting, arts and crafts, face painting, magic shows, and Circus at Sea. Outdoor and indoor games provide endless hours of fun.

First Mates (ages 6-8)
Onboard NCL, First Mates participate in wacky cooking classes, decorative T-shirt painting, sing-a longs, and poolside root beer float parties. The "Kid's Crew" program also coordinates on-shore activities including a treasure hunt and a sandcastle building competition on NCL's private island.

Navigators (ages 9-12)
Navigators test their skill at Sega and video games and search for treasures on scavenger hunts. Evenings are filled with pajama parties, movies and camp-outs with flashlights and tents.

Teens (ages 13-17)
NCL entertains Teens throughout the daytime and into the evening. By day, Teens enjoy pool parties, volleyball and basketball, the Newlymet Game, and trivia contests. Evenings are filled with NCL's Broadway-style shows and spectaculars, line dancing, teen disco (not available on all ships), and special theme parties.

Program and age groups are subject to change.

Kid's Crew Program

The "Kid's Crew" program includes a plethora of supervised games, T-shirts for design painting, and a Mom and Dad's Night Out. Children receive their own Cruise News detailing daily events. A complimentary chef's hat, also included in the program, is essential for creative cooking classes where children can make decorative pizzas or cookies. NCL's autograph/scrapbooks make perfect mementos of the kids' experiences and friendships. Junior cruisers can even celebrate their birthdays on the high seas with NCL's special "Kid's Crew" birthday parties. NCL also offers eight delicious children's menus to tempt the most finicky eaters. And of course, there's always peanut butter and jelly on hand, just in case. The fleet wide program is available year-round and is free of charge.

Kid's Crew Staff

An exceptionally qualified staff of trained counselors run NCL's "Kid's Crew" program in a safe and secure environment. The staff attends special training courses on team and confidence building, communication skills, safety, and working with children who have special needs.

Babysitting

In addition to regularly scheduled hours on days at sea, including 7:00pm - 10:00pm, NCL's "Kid's Crew" program is available on port days for Group Sitting from 9:00am - 5:00pm, and every evening from 10:00pm - 1:00am for a nominal fee, providing children with even more occasions to enjoy the creative activities that have been specifically designed for them.
