Cruises can be family affairs

-

There’s a place where kids can be kids, adults can be adults and families can get even closer.

A cruise aboard Norwegian Cruise Line offers something for every member of the family.

There’s plenty to explore on Norwegian ships. Head up to the top deck and conquer the largest ropes course at sea or whoosh down a waterslide at the Aqua Park.

Norwegian offers Splash Academy for ages three to 12, which provides age-specific fun that includes arts and crafts, circus workshops, treasure hunts, games and more.

Teens will find a hangout filled with video games, movies and sports. And for those families that like to play together, how about a family-fun challenge, where the winner picks dinner?

Speaking of dinner, Norwegian ships offer freestyle dining, where guests have the freedom to dine when and where they want. With a wide range of compliment­ary and specialty restaurant­s there are more dining options than days of your cruise.

Devour a cheeseburg­er in paradise at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritav­ille at Sea. Indulge in seafood inspired cuisine at Bayamo, find the perfect steak at Cagney’s and the sizzles and surprises never cease at our Japanese hibachi Teppanyaki. Families can sit down to a four-course meal at the main dining room. Or indulge at a specialty restaurant where kids 12 and under can enjoy our compliment­ary kids’ menu.

Nighttime heats up with Broadway- and Vegas-style shows. Sing along with the likes of Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley in Million Dollar Quartet. Rock out with the Broadway smash musical Rock of Ages.

Parents can run off and play in the casino or enjoy a quiet date night while knowing their kids and teens are in a safe and supervised environmen­t thanks to compliment­ary youth programs.

When it’s time to wind down, Norwegian’s rooms have a lot to offer too — including balconies and adjoining staterooms or luxurious suites.
