Norwegian Bliss, Breakaway, Escape, Gem, Joy, Pearl New England & Canada Cruises
Founded in 1966, Norwegian Cruise Line is the 3rd largest cruise line in the world and is headquartered in Miami, Florida. They were originally known as a car ferry service between Southampton UK and Gibraltar. Norwegian Cruise Lines paved the way for today's mega liners with the acquisition in 1979 of the "France", renaming it the "Norway" and giving it a major refurbish as it was largest cruise ship of the era.
Today, Norwegian Cruise Line operates 17 cruise ships with ore on order. They are well known for their laid back style of cruising where everyday is "freestyle" aboard their ships. There is no enforced dress cord or fixed dining schedules to fuss with. They were the first cruise line to introduce the style of cruising in the industry. They were awarded the "World's Leading Cruise Line" two years in a row, and "North America's Leading Cruise Line" three years in a row.
Norwegian Cruise Line's New England and Canada cruises will take you to the beautiful province of Halifax, Nova Scotia where you can visit nearby Sable Island known for its abundance of shipwrecks. One of your other ports will be the very interesting "Europe" of North America, known as the French Province of Quebec City. Your Portland, ME cruise includes a visit to the city's spectacular High Victorian Gothic and Queen Anne style architecture. Boston, Massachusetts is another great stop along the way. It is well known for its great shopping at Faneuil Hall, and the famous bar on the tv series "Cheers". To see the sites in Boston, you can get around town on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Norwegian's Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island cruise will take you to the town's red sandy beaches. Your Bar Harbor cruise will include the stunning coastal town with its numerous yachts and lobster boats. Your Saint John, New Brunswick cruise will take you along the beautiful Bay of Fundy. Your voyage isn't complete without a cruise to Martha's Vineyard which is a popular summer colony. Another cool thing to see is the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Another great stop on your Norwegian cruise will be St. John's, Newfoundland, a quaint fishing village.
Passenger safety is at the forefront of their cruises. They deliver a vacation experience that is packed with fun and excitement, and excellent attentive service.
