NCL Corporation Ltd (NCL) is one of the leading cruise ship operators in the world and a cruise industry trendsetter. We currently operate 11 ships carrying over 23,000 passengers, and by the end of 2010 a stunning new, ultra-modern ship will join our fleet, accommodating approximately 4,200 guests.

In addition to operating a large international fleet, NCL is unique in being the only major cruise line to operate a U.S.-flagged ship, which enables us to offer entirely inter-island Hawaii cruises – a great tax advantage for corporate groups.

NCL has a long tradition of product innovation within the cruise industry. In 1977, we became the first cruise line to operate on a private island in the Bahamas, offering a private beach experience to our passengers. NCL was also the first to introduce a 2,000-berth mega-ship into the Caribbean market in 1980.

We launched the revolutionary “Free Style” flexible dining concept, built the first bowling alley on a ship, and introduced private “garden villa” suites - the most upscale, exclusive accommodations at sea. Today, NCL ships continue to “wow” guests with their choice of up to 13 international restaurants; ground-breaking accommodations; and hip, sophisticated entertainment options.
