When it comes to Freestyle Cruising, something new is definitely a good thing. Introducing Norwegian Gem. This brand new ship will offer all the things you love about NCL - all the restaurants, the bars and lounges, plus the complete disregard for watches and alarm clocks. It's the latest in the Jewel class family of ships, sister ship to Norwegian Pearl; and you'll find yourself wondering what to do next, nap, bowl a few games, get a good workout or ...whatever.

There are two great ways to enjoy your Norwegian Cruise Line cruise vacation: do everything, or do nothing at all. For vacationers who prefer to be active, Norwegian Cruise Line offers its new LifeStyle Program, which features adventurous optional shore expeditions, art auctions, health and wellness programs, cooking exhibitions, and more.  Norwegian Cruises provide activities galore designed to challenge your mind as well as your body…or, you can simply relax and enjoy not having a schedule to follow!  Relax, and let Norwegian Cruise Lines do what it does best- spoil you, the guest.  Norwegian picks the ports of call: the rest of the day is your call!

The choice is yours. With Freestyle Cruising, you travel a world of dining options all in one week.

With up to 10 different restaurants, each featuring a diverse an ever-changing menu, you'll always find exactly what you're in the mood for. And there are no fixed seatings. Imagine restaurants open from 5:30 pm to midnight so that you can choose from an early dinner before the show or a later romantic dinner for the two of you. And of course there's always the option of 24-hour room service. You're free to dine where, when and with whom you choose. Just as it should be on your vacation.

Freestyle Cruising - Different from anything else on water - with Freestyle Cruising, you'll discover something you won't find on other cruise lines - freedom.

PORTS OF CALL 

Barcelona, Spain
Located on the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona is Spain's most cosmopolitan city. It is especially well known for its vitality and style, as you will see on Las Ramblas, Barcelona's main thoroughfare. The city, while boasting monuments that are Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance in style, also captivates visitors with its incredible modern architecture. Among those worthy of attention, are the works of the legendary architect Antonio Gaudi.

Valletta, Malta
Thick sandstone walls fortify Valletta, holding within its stone streets and glorious architecture. It fees like a travesty, walking over the detailed inlaid marble floors of the the cathedrals, but they are there to be seen and appreciated. The Silent City is Mdina, on the far side of the island, where no cars are permitted to disrupt the serene streets. Keep an eye out for the legendary, aged yellow buses of Malta which appear to be on their last legs, but are in fact a revered and flawlessly maintained piece of Maltese heritage.

Naples, Italy
Naples, located in beautiful southern Italy, is the country's third most populated city. You'll immediately feel the friendly spirit of this sunny metropolis as you sample its historic sights, fabulous shopping galleria and irresistible cuisine situated on the Bay of Naples. Mount Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast and the romantic isle of Capri's famous Blue Grotto are just a short drive from the city.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
In the footsteps of the Ceasars you will spend your time in the Eternal City. From the Roman Forum, it's a short walk to the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine and Palatine Hill. Across the Tiber River, the Sovereign State of the Vatican holds the key to the Sistine Chapel and Bernini's awesome colonnade.

Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Italy
Timeless treasures are around every corner in Florence, an hour's drive from Livorno-the Duomo that represents Brunelleschi's pinnacle of achievement, Giotto's bell tower, Michelangelo's David, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Ponte Vecchio. Closer yet, in Pisa see the Tower, still standing, if crookedly, after 650 years.

Villefranche (Nice). France
Villefranche is your gateway to the one-of-a-kind French Riviera, home to Monte Carlo, Cannes and Nice. Shaded by jagged mountains touching deep blue shores, Villefranche offers sunny beaches, sophisticated resort cities, quaint red-roofed villages and spectacular views.  While Villefranche is lovely, it's truly remarkable for what surrounds it. While you're there, visit some of its better-known neighbors: Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo. These jet-setters' retreats are as remarkable for their beautiful beaches as the mansions and boutiques that surround them.
