Passengers sailing on Norwegian Cruise Line are now able to pre-purchase shore excursions across the fleet as well as make dining reservations on board Norwegian Epic with an enhanced online offering.

“Freestyle Cruising is about freedom and flexibility, and therefore we wanted to provide our guests with the choice and convenience of purchasing their shore excursions prior to their cruise, as well as making their specialty dining choices in advance, especially if they are celebrating a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary,” said Kevin Sheehan, CEO Norwegian Cruise Line.

On board reservations will remain available as an option for passengers and the line anticipates expanding the online booking offering to include dining reservations fleet-wide.

‘Cirque Dreams and Dinner™’ and The Second City’s ‘Presumed Murdered’ interactive experience on board Norwegian Epic will also be available for advance bookings.

The enhanced reservation system is applicable only for cruises booked in US dollars and purchases made online can be amended up to one day prior to embarkation.
