Freestyle Cruising is meant for those individuals who like to define their own routine or would like to truly relax while on vacation and not be held to assigned tables, restaurants, and specific eating times. Eat your own way on your own time in a variety of settings where ever you would like! That is truly the biggest benefit of Freestyle Cruising.

Norwegian Cruise Line is the industry leader and originator of what is known today as Free-Style Cruises. You can even eat in your pajamas in your room if you so feel like it. No matter what time of day, you can choose when you would like to eat and where you would like to eat. The beauty of it, is all of these dining options are included in your cruise fare. There are options for more luxurious dining where you will have to pay a specific cover charge to offset this more elaborate option.


Instead of having elaborate and massive dining rooms, the ships were designed with numerous little eateries throughout the ship. Another perk is you do not have to dress up every evening like some other more rigid types of cruising.

Some customers have complained that Free-Style cruising creates unnecessary wait times as people wait to eat all at the same time. Then once everyone finishes, the crowd then moves into show lines creating another moment to wait. But if one plans ahead and avoids busy times, you will definitely enjoy the freedom to do as you choose!

Bottom line, Freestyle Cruising means you wear what you want, eat whatever you want, and do it whenever you would like!
