9th Dec 2027 | 11 nights | Norwegian Cruise Line | Norwegian Jewel
Step aboard Norwegian Jewel and discover a relaxed, welcoming ship where you can enjoy the freedom to spend your time exactly as you please. Refurbished in 2025, she combines refreshed interiors with the familiar NCL features you know and love, from inviting public spaces to a variety of restaurants, bars and lounges.
With a more intimate feel than NCL’s newest mega-ships, Norwegian Jewel makes it easy to find your favourite spot on board. Whether you want to socialise over a drink, relax by the pool or simply take in the ocean views, you’ll have plenty of comfortable spaces to enjoy at your own pace.
You can make your days as active or relaxed as you like on Norwegian Jewel. Take a dip in the Sapphire Pools, unwind in the adults-only Vibe Beach Club, work out on the basketball court or enjoy some well-earned relaxation at Mandara Spa. If you fancy a little excitement, you can also try your luck in the casino.
When evening arrives, you can enjoy live entertainment, music and dancing across the ship. There are also dedicated spaces and activities for younger guests, while the range of bars and lounges gives you plenty of options for an evening drink or a relaxed night out.
Dining aboard Norwegian Jewel gives you the flexibility to eat when and where you choose, with a mix of complimentary and speciality restaurants. You can enjoy changing menus in the main dining rooms, pick up casual favourites at O’Sheehan’s or head to the Garden Café for a more relaxed meal.
When you want to make your evening more special, you can choose from a selection of speciality restaurants, including Cagney’s Steakhouse, Chin Chin, Moderno Churrascaria and Sushi. With a variety of cuisines and settings available, you can keep things casual or make dining part of your evening’s entertainment.
Your accommodation aboard Norwegian Jewel ranges from comfortable Inside and Oceanview staterooms to Balcony cabins, Club Balcony Suites and more spacious suites. Whether you’re looking for a practical base between days ashore or somewhere you can relax and enjoy the views, there’s a choice of accommodation to suit different preferences and budgets.
For a more exclusive experience, you can stay in The Haven by Norwegian, offering some of the ship’s most luxurious accommodation alongside private facilities. As a Haven guest, you’ll benefit from a private sundeck, concierge service and 24-hour butler service, giving you an added level of comfort and personalised attention throughout your time on board.

People who can't stand crowds, or those seeking a relaxed onboard environment
Norwegian cruise ships draw a diverse crowd, though the majority of passengers on ships sailing to the Caribbean and in Alaska and Hawaii hail from North America. You'll find a decent number of people from other English-speaking countries, and smaller numbers from South America and Europe. On European cruises, North Americans still dominate but you'll find more people from the United Kingdom and other European countries. You'll find plenty of young families onboard Norwegian ships, especially during holidays and school breaks. However, the line's newest ship, Norwegian Bliss, is less family-friendly than the line's other ships, with all the kids clubs on the lowest levels of the ship and onboard entertainment that is decidedly adult. Generally speaking, Norwegian Cruise Line attracts mostly middle-aged and older couples, as well as groups of friends of all ages.
Norwegian Cruise Line maintains a casual atmosphere onboard; during the day, casual wear is the norm. There's no formal dress code at night either, though most people do change into something slightly less casual for dinner. Additionally, some of the speciality extra-fee restaurants do require long pants, collared shirts and closed-toe shoes. Most evenings you'll see men in dark jeans or khakis and collared shirts, and women in blouses with slacks or skirts, or sundresses. Don't be surprised if you see people in shorts in the main dining rooms. Norwegian doesn't have any formal nights, but there is an optional Norwegian's Night Out at least once per sailing, for which passengers are encouraged to dress up. You'll rarely see a tux or gown, but suits and cocktail dresses are not unheard of. Norwegian ships also typically hold several themed nights (glow party, '70s or '80s, etc.) during a typical sailing. You might want to bring a few appropriate items, such as white clothing for the glow and white parties or bell bottoms for '70s night.
No. Unless you have an all-inclusive dining or beverage package (which you can buy), you'll have to pay extra for most gratuities, speciality dining, room service, all drinks (alcoholic and non, except water, select juices at breakfast, and coffee and tea), shore excursions, visits to the spa and any retail purchases, including photos. On the newest ships, you'll also have to pay for some of the entertainment options and even some of the top-deck fun: On Norwegian Bliss, for example, the laser tag and go-karts cost extra.
On warm-weather cruises, the main pool is the line's most popular spot onboard. On ships with water slides, ropes courses, go-kart tracks and laser tag, these are also popular and often require a wait of up to 30 minutes or more. Inside, you'll find activities that range from trivia, bingo and Deal or No Deal during the day to song-and-dance revues or Broadway shows in the theatre and live music or cabaret shows in the evening. Norwegian ships also have a lively bar nightlife. There's also an always-busy casino, which opens when the ship is out to sea.
