NCL smashes booking records thanks to huge sales push

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced that November was a record-breaking booking month.

Not only was 25 November the best booking day in the Cruise Line’s history, but 28 November was the best booked Cyber Monday, allowing NCL to achieve a record booking week for the week ending 25 November, and to then surpass this achievement with a new weekly record this past week.

“Momentum is strong and there is no better evidence of this than our record-breaking performance this November, the best-booked month in the history of our Cruise Line,” Harry Sommer, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line, said.

“This achievement is even more impressive when considering November is historically one of the slower booking months for our business.

“On the heels of the successful launch of our groundbreaking Norwegian Prima, which has already received numerous accolades, we are well on our way to a banner year. I’m very excited about 2023 and all that is yet to come.” 

Norwegian Prima was just honoured as “Best New Ship” in the ocean category of the 2022 Cruise Critic Editors’ Pick Awards and Travel Weekly Asia Readers’ Choice Awards and is being recognised for her elevated design with the “Best Public Space Award” at the Cruise Ship Interiors Expo Award Ceremony.

Together with NCL’s Free at Sea offering which provides guests a free beverage package, free specialty dining package, free Wi-Fi, free shore excursions, and discounted rates for friends and family, cruisers are booking their dream holidays at unparalleled levels across the fleet.

NCL has been focused on re-establishing its brand and business post its 500- plus-day shut down with a focus on delivering a guest-first experience with unbeatable service, food and beverage, entertainment, recreation options and sailings to bucket-list destinations.
