Norwegian Cruise Line launches free kids shore excursions for all 2012 sailings
Children under 12 receive free shore excursions* with new 2012 cruise reservations until 13 May 2012
Wiesbaden, April 24, 2012 Just in time for summer holiday planning, Norwegian Cruise Line is presenting an exciting offer for families who book a 2012 between April 16 and May 13, 2012.
With the “Little Norwegians Explore For Free” offer, children12 years and younger will receive complimentary Norwegian-sponsored shore excursions* and teens (13 to 17 years old) will receive half-off shore excursions* when in the same stateroom with a paying adult on the same excursion.
This applies to all 2012 sailings fleet-wide for all ports of call. Families can whale watch in Alaska; explore ancient cities in Europe; or have fun in the sun on a snorkel excursion in the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda or Hawai’i.
Norwegian’s array of Freestyle Cruising options gives families the flexibility to experience the holiday they’ve always wanted including family-friendly accommodations and a variety of entertainment and dining options. Guests of all ages can enjoy Nickelodeon activities and shows on board Norwegian Jewel’s sailings to Alaska from Seattle; Norwegian Epic’s voyages to the Western Mediterranean from Barcelona or Civitavecchia (Rome) or to the Caribbean from Miami; and Norwegian Gem’s sailings from New York to the Bahamas and Florida or the Caribbean.
The line recently announced enhancements to its youth and teen programmes, Splash Academy and Entourage. Both Splash Academy and Entourage will feature a different theme every day. Whether it’s ocean-related, pirates, space cowboys, jungle fever or circus, every day will offer a new surprise that is tailored to the individual age groups - Guppies for ages up to 2; Turtles for ages 3 to 5; Seals for ages 6 to 9; and Dolphins for ages 10 to 12.
The enhanced curriculum focuses on team building and assisting in developing children’s interpersonal and confidence-building skills. With activities that are tailored specifically to each age group, the new youth and teen programmes focus on creative and unique activities, along with more sporting events, through a partnership with King’s Foundation and Camps.
A highlight of the programme is a circus school in partnership with Hilario Productions’ Cirque du Jour, a New York-based company that specialises in teaching children real circus skills. Splash Academy also offers activities for cruisers under three and their parents who can enjoy sensory play classes which include baby art featuring “Wee Can Too” organic art products.
All shore excursions for adults and children related to this offer must be pre-booked prior to sailing. Guests can reserve shore excursions, up to two days prior to sailing, via www.ncl.eu.
