NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE

Destinations:

Alaska
Norwegian Cruise Line offers you two ways to discover America's last frontier. Aboard the Norwegian Wind you can sail round-trip from Vancouver through the misty islands and sparkling fjords of the Inside Passage. Or choose a Heart of Alaska cruise aboard the Norwegian Dynasty and sail between Vancouver and Seward (for Anchorage and tours to Denali National Park).

Come to Alaska with Norwegian Cruise Line and you'll discover a land so untouched and unspoiled, you'll feel like our own Viking explorer, Leif Erikson. To many, the legendary gold fields are still a magnet. Want to strike it rich? Come aboard!

Theme Cruises
Our Sports Afloat™ theme cruises are dedicated to just about any sport you can think of. We even have a Sports Illustrated Afloat™ Theme Cruise dedicated to almost all of them combined! You see we've teamed up with the world's most widely read sports magazine, so now we'll have even bigger stars and an even more exciting line-up of activities on board.

What do you do on a Sports Afloat cruise? You can attend sports clinics, play in tournaments and join trivia and autograph sessions. You can watch live tapings of Coast-to-Coast with James Brown, shoot hoops with Hall of Famers or spike balls with volleyball pros. You can get tips from professional coaches … or even give them a few of your own. And there's plenty of time to rap with the athletes, themselves.

So if you love sports like we love sports, check out these nine sensational sports theme cruises. Then get your travel agent to sign you up. You'll have a ball!
(P.S. And if you love golf like we love golf, checkout our year-round Tee-Up Cruises.)

What Does My Cruise Fare Include?
For your cruise ticket (which includes port charges and government taxes), you receive shipboard accommodations, ocean transportation, meals and entertainment aboard ship. Items of a personal nature are not included such as alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, spa treatments, trapshooting, laundry, photographs and shore excursions including Dive-In® snorkeling, casino, and ship-to-shore phone and fax.

Do Children Cruise Free?
Only children under age two cruise free when staying in the same cabin with two or more paying passengers. However, port charges and government fees still apply.

How Do I Pay for On-board Expenses?
For your convenience our on-board credit program lets you charge just about everything to your shipboard account so that you will not have to carry cash around. Sign up on the first day of your cruise and settle on the last, at which point you can pay with cash, Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express®, Discover®, or traveler's checks. There is a limit in the casino of $200 per day, up to $500 per cruise. The only exception is trapshooting.

How Much Money Should I Take?
You may cash traveler's checks at the Purser's Desk on board the ship. Traveler's checks and most major credit cards are accepted in the ports we visit. Proper ID is required when cashing traveler's checks.

What are the U.S. Custom Allowances?
Please follow the Customs Hyperlink for the most up-to-date information regarding your personal allowances. U.S. citizens are allowed $400 dollars worth of merchandise when returning to the United States from abroad. Passengers over the age of 21 may also bring 1 quart of liquor or wine and 200 cigarettes. Non-U.S. citizens should check with their local authorities for custom allowance information.

How Many Suitcases Can I Take?
Each person is allowed up to 200 pounds of personal luggage on board. However, if you are traveling by air, your airline might have different restrictions. Please contact the airline for such information. Airlines and NCL have limited liability for loss, so be sure all baggage and personal belongings are properly insured. Suitcases should be securely locked and tagged. Items such as medications, jewelry or other valuables and important documents should be hand-carried. NCL does not assume responsibility for loss or damage of these items.

What Time Is Dinner?
From our early-riser service at 6:00 am to our nightly midnight snacks, there are lots of dining options and little chance to go hungry. Breakfast is always open seating (7:00am-9:00am), but you will be assigned to one of two scheduled seatings for lunch and dinner, so that you can be assured of attentive service at an unhurried pace. While your ship is at sea, lunches are 12 noon (main) and 1:30 PM (late); and dinner seatings are at 6:00 PM (main) and 8:30 PM (late). In port, there is open seating for lunch (12:00 noon-2:00 PM) as well as breakfast. If you have a preference as to time and whether you'd like to sit with friends, tell us when you book and we'll try our best to accommodate your wishes.

Will I Need an Electrical Converter?
On both ships the current on board is 110 volts AC. However, some high-voltage hairdryers, electric rollers and electric razors may require a converter.

Are There Children's Programs?
Kids Crew® is one of the most elaborate children's programs at sea. On both ships all year round we have youth coordinators for kids between 6 and 12 years of age, and teen coordinators for teenagers between 13 and 17 years of age. During the summer months, winter break, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, we also have coordinators for children between 3 and 5 years of age. There are many activities for children in the evening, so parents may want to request main seating in the dining room.

Are There Babysitters Aboard?
NCL offers babysitting (individual or group) for a fee. Sitters are available between noon and 2 am. Arrangements must be made at the Information Desk 24 hours in advance, but cannot be done prior to sailing.

What Other Services Are Available?
Beauty parlor including hair styling manicures pedicures, facials, sauna and massages. Gift shops feature duty-free shopping including fine jewelry, perfumes, clothing, and cosmetics and limited drug store items. Laundry & dry-cleaning services.

What About People With Special Needs?
Wherever possible, NCL will try to accommodate people with physical or mental disabilities. All ships have staterooms designed for people with physical disabilities. Please check deck plans for details. However, any medical condition or physical disability that may require special attention must be reported to our Passenger Courtesy Department when your reservation is made. (See Terms & Conditions.)

Is There A Doctor Aboard?
A physician and nurse are on board each ship. Customary charges will be made for all medical care and services.

What if I'm Pregnant?
If you're pregnant, NCL will make every effort to accommodate you and your little passenger. However, a medical certificate establishing her due date and fitness to travel must accompany the expectant mother. NCL will not accept passengers who have entered their 24th week of pregnancy. (See Terms & Conditions.)

What About Shore Excursions?
Shore excursions can be purchased at the Shore Excursion Desk for all ports for various daytime and/or evening activities. If you prefer to go on your own, information about the ports will be available at the Shore Excursion Desk.

Special Celebrations
You may purchase wine, fruit baskets, champagne, birthday cakes, canapés, flowers or other gifts for your cabin. Please ask your travel agent to advise us at least 3 weeks prior to sailing.

What If I Need to Call Home?
You can phone; telex, radiogram or fax to anywhere in the world and you will be billed at applicable ship-to-shore rates. The most economical way for someone to contact you on one of our ships is to call 1-800-MARISAT. A satellite telex will be delivered to your cabin, and you can then call the party via satellite. At a more expensive rate, you may be contacted direct via the High Seas Operator at 1-800-SEA-CALL.

How Much Do I Tip?
The following are recommended guidelines:
Waiter and Cabin Steward: $3 each per person per night.
Maitre d' and Busboy: $1.50 each per person per night.
These gratuities are usually paid at the end of the cruise. A 15% gratuity is already included in bar tabs, beauty salon, and spa services. Other staff may be tipped as services are rendered.

Do I Need A Passport?
It is the passenger's responsibility to check with their travel agent, local immigration offices and/or respective embassies or consulates to determine documentary requirements. There can be no refund if local immigration officials for lack of proper documents deny a passenger boarding. Below you will find a few guidelines. For embarkation and re-entry to any port in the United States and Mexico: U.S. and Canadian citizens who are not alien residents of the U.S. must carry documentary proof of citizenship, such as passport, birth certificate or certified naturalization documents with picture I.D. Alien residents who are permanent residents of the U.S. must have their passport and Alien Registration Card (Form-I551). Foreign passengers must be in possession of a valid passport and multiple entry visa for the United States (B-2 Visitor's Visa), or a visa waiver.

Where Can I Keep My Valuables?
Security envelopes and/or safe deposit boxes are available from the ship's purser at no charge. Please note, however, that Norwegian Cruise Line is not responsible for valuables left in cabins or elsewhere on board.

Are Visitors Allowed?
No, sorry.
