Ships operated by Norwegian Cruise Line | Norwegian Crown (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.2)
An older ship, which lacks some of the facilities of newer vessels. However, a recent refit means it has a new kids’ area. The spa has had good reviews.

 | Norwegian Majesty (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.1)
Built in 1992, the ship was stretched – chopped in half with a middle extension added – in 1997.
Although more dated than younger ships in the fleet, this is nevertheless a good-value, medium-size ship that operates from the US on Bermuda and Caribbean cruises.

Previously Star Cruises’ SuperStar Leo, the ship joined NCL in 2004. It has a huge outside children’s area and an impressive atrium lobby. As with other ships in the fleet, there is an excellent range of cuisine to suit all tastes.

 | Norwegian Star (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.0)
Sister-ship to Norwegian Dawn, this is one of the best options for people who hate formal, regimented cruises and who get tired of eating in the same place each day. The ship has a laid-back atmosphere, with lots of options.

Designed specifically with NCL’s Freestyle concept in mind, there are lots of places to eat, the dining rooms are open later and, unlike other cruise lines, passengers are not rushed into leaving the table.
