Free at Sea

Free at Sea offers guests unlimited premium beverages, world-class specialty dining, shore excursion credits, and Wi-Fi, by simply pre-paying the package gratuities in advance. With week-long and shorter cruises making up the majority of the deployment, the refreshed Free at Sea package is tailored to deliver more value to a greater percentage of guests sailing with NCL. An expanded number of guests will receive additional Wi-Fi minutes, will enjoy additional savings on the unlimited beverage package, and additional dining credits for most of our guests sailing on cruises five nights or longer.

Unlimited Open Bar

Instead of segmenting by voyage lengths, all guests 21 and over on sailings of 2+ days can indulge in unlimited drinks every day for only $28.50 per person per day. In comparison to other cruise lines, NCL's onboard beverage package remains the best value in the industry.

Enjoy the best beverage package at sea! Indulge in unlimited premium spirits, cocktails, wine, beer, soft drinks and freshly squeezed juice - all included. Simply pay the package gratuities in advance, and the drinks are on NCL. With drinks on board averaging $15 each, there's no better value.

Starting May 1, 2026, the price of our Free at Sea prepaid beverage package gratuities on new bookings for two to five-day cruises will be $32.00 per person, per day, providing guests unlimited drinks with premium beverage liquors, such as Grey Goose, Casamigos and Woodford Reserve at our award-winning beverage venues across ships.

For cruises of six days or longer, which make up the majority of our sailings, the gratuities will remain at $28.50 per person, per day. Even with this change, the Free at Sea beverage package continues to offer exceptional value.

• Includes unlimited premium beverage brands such as Grey Goose, Casamigos, Woodford Reserve and more!
• Over 100 cocktails to choose from.
• 20% off all bottles of champagne and wine.
• Unlimited soft drinks and juices.
• Gratuities are $28.50 per person per day. The package applies to all guests in the stateroom aged 21+.

Specialty Dining

The specialty dining offering has been simplified to be determined by the length of the itinerary, rather than by both stateroom category and itinerary duration. This means a more consistent structure across all stateroom metas, with increased dining nights for select sailing lengths.

Savor amazing multi-course meals at thebaward-winning Specialty Restaurants, such as Cagney's Steakhouse or Le Bistro. Enjoy elevated dining experiences featuring globally inspired cuisine and exceptional service - all included. Simply pay the package gratuities in advance, and the dining experience is on NCL. With an average of $60 per meal on board, this value can't be beat.

• 2-4 Nights: 1 meal
• 5-6 Nights: 2 meals
• 7-8 Nights: 3 meals
• 9+ Nights: 4 meals

Note: Gratuities are $20 per person per meal. The package applies to the first two guests on the reservation. Guests under age 13 dine for free.

Wi-Fi

Each guest in the stateroom will receive 150 minutes of high-speed internet powered by Starlink, regardless of voyage length, so everyone can stay connected while cruising. This means guests sailing on shorter sailings will receive double the Wi-Fi minutes!

• Stay connected throughout your cruise with 150 minutes of high-speed Wi-Fi powered by Starlink.
