🚢 Norwegian Cruise Line Introduces New “Just Cruise” Pricing in Australia & New Zealand

Norwegian Cruise Line has introduced a new pricing structure for travellers in the Australian and New Zealand markets, offering guests more flexibility when booking their cruise.

Previously, many NCL cruises included bundled pricing that combined the cruise fare with the popular Free at Sea™ package, which provides extras such as drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi and shore excursion credits.

Under the new model, travellers will now see a lower cruise-only fare called “Just Cruise.”

What is “Just Cruise”?

The Just Cruise option allows guests to book the cruise itself at a lower price and then choose whether they want to add extra packages.

This approach gives travellers more control over how they customise their holiday and what they spend their money on.

Optional Free at Sea Packages

Guests who want the added perks can still choose to upgrade by adding:

• Free at Sea™ (FAS)

• Free at Sea Plus™ (FAS+)

  
  

The Free at Sea upgrade starts from approximately AU$59 per person per day, allowing cruisers to enjoy benefits such as drinks packages, specialty dining experiences and more.

More Choice for Cruisers

The new pricing structure is designed to give travellers greater flexibility when planning their cruise.

Some guests may prefer the simplicity of a cruise-only fare, while others may still want the convenience of a bundled package with added extras.

By separating the cruise fare from the extras, Norwegian Cruise Line hopes to make cruising more accessible while allowing guests to tailor their holiday to suit their preferences and budget.

For many travellers, this could mean more competitive pricing and greater choice when booking their next cruise.
