Summary:
The Pride of Hawaii has launched!  Norwegian Cruise Line's most luxurious ship yet has fabulous new amenities for you to enjoy.

Keywords:
Norwegian Cruise Line, Norwegian cruises

Article Body:
The newest, and grandest, Norwegian Cruise Line ship is now in service!  The Pride of Hawaii completes Norwegian's plans to bring three new vessels to its fleet by 2006.  With fabulous seven-day itineraries that sail throughout the Hawaiian islands, Pride of Hawaii will depart Honolulu on Mondays and call on ports on Hawaii's four most popular islands: Hawaii, Oahu, Maui & Kauai.
Cruise in Style
What would a grand, new ship be without sterling accommodations?  Norwegian Cruise Line opted to repeat its highly popular and luxurious new category of staterooms - deemed Courtyard Villas - onboard Pride of Hawaii.  Ten cabins share one private courtyard featuring a lap pool, Jacuzzi, his and hers steam rooms and exercise equipment.  Guests staying in the courtyard also enjoy a private sundeck with sun beds and hammocks.  From high above the ship, passengers with courtyard suites will also enjoy breathtaking views.
Norwegian Cruise Line also offers impressive accommodations on two other levels: Garden Villas and an Owner's Suite.  Garden Villas are extravagant 4,000 square foot suites complete with spacious living room, dining room, three separate bedrooms each with a private bath, steam room, individual butler and concierge and - of course - your own private garden.
The Owner's Suite - at the pinnacle of the ship - offers the most luxurious accommodations Norwegian Cruise Line offers.  With unmatched views from high atop Deck 15, guests in the Owner's Suite enjoy a master bedroom with bath, separate living room and dining room, and two private sun terraces outside the living room and bedroom.  Relish in the best amenities while cruising to the most popular Hawaiian destinations.
Pride of Hawaii Visits Most Popular Attractions
Norwegian Cruise Line wanted the itineraries of Pride of Hawaii to rival the onboard experience - and they do!  On Oahu, guests can visit Pearl Harbor and see the remains of the USS Arizona Memorial.  Or, if surfing is preferred over sightseeing, rent a board and surf the famed North Shore.  Visit pineapple plantations or just relax on the white sand beaches.
On the Big Island of Hawaii, Volcanoes National Park provides incredible sights of 230,000 acres including the world's most active volcano.  Boasting some of the most beautiful and secluded beaches on the island, it's easy to find a private spot to splash in the waves… just follow any unmarked trail.
Kauai delivers breathtaking scenic views and a world of phenomenal sights.  Visit Haena State Park and tour some of Kauai's rugged coastline.  Explore sea caves or hike its popular 11-mile trail.  The majestic Waimea Canyon sprays a rainbow of vibrant colors across what Mark Twain deemed the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific."
A stop in Maui completes your Norwegian Cruise Line voyage. With a very diverse landscape, Maui offers everything from underwater cave exploration to mountain getaways.  Discover snorkeling, whale watching, hiking, aquariums (including the Maui Ocean Center), the Hawaii Humpback Whale Sanctuary and more.
Once back onboard, relax and enjoy Norwegian's Freestyle Dining.  Choose the restaurant (or restaurants) where you wish to dine then make reservations so you know precisely when to arrive.  A succulent meal in one of the 10 restaurants aboard the Pride of Hawaii will be freshly prepared just for you.
Truly a wonder in its style and destination options, Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of Hawaii is sure to raise the bar to a higher level for luxury cruising.

Luxury Beyond Measure: NCL Garden Villas Top 5,000 Square Feet

Luxury Beyond Measure: NCL Garden Villas Top 5,000 Square Feet

Coastal Vacations

Summary:
Garden Villas offer the largest, most luxurious accommodations at sea complete with a personal staff of 5 butlers.

Keywords:
Norwegian Cruise Line

Article Body:

When you hear the words "spacious cabin," most people don't imagine a 5,750 square-foot suite.  But Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) did!  Beginning with the Norwegian Dawn in 2002, NCL began creating Garden Villas aboard their most luxurious ships.  Today, Norwegian Cruise Line's Garden Villas still offer the largest accommodations at sea.
Private Staff
The primary goals of the Garden Villas are to offer guests privacy, luxury and pampering at every turn.  Five butlers staff these suites in order to ensure every need is anticipated and met even before guests make requests.  Guests have the direct phone numbers for the suite staff in order to call upon them night or day.  Want your luggage packed or unpacked?  Absolutely!  Need help planning and hosting a party?  But of course!  Hoping to receive VIP tickets to events or private excursions?  The butlers are there to make it happen.
The Accommodations
The Garden Villas include a master bedroom and two additional bedrooms, each with a private, luxury bathroom.  Guests also have a whirlpool tub; large, plush beds with premium bedding and a dining area.  The outside, multi-tiered sundeck features a Jacuzzi as well as luxurious deck furniture and ample space for entertaining up to 100 guests.  Garden Villas also treat guests to multiple private balconies.
The Views
High atop Deck 14, the views are simply unmatched.  Elegantly decorated, the Garden Villas offer a spacious living room with a panoramic ocean view, courtesy of floor-to-ceiling windows.  In fact, panoramic views are featured throughout the suite, in every room from the master bedroom to the bathroom. 
Awake to the sunrise dancing across the waves as you enjoy a made-to-order breakfast served at the time of your choosing.  Then, at night, watch the lights glisten off the water right outside your bedroom, as you're lulled to sleep by the rhythm of the sea.  You're even likely to spot dolphins playing in the ship's wake or a massive whale as it crashes through the waves.
The Price
At $25,000 per week, you might assume these premium suites go uninhabited much of the time.  Quite the contrary is true.  As one of the most popular suites in the fleet, the Garden Villas are almost always filled on each voyage. 
Families, family reunions, groups of friends, multiple families traveling together and those who simply want the best accommodations available have been known for occupying the Garden Villas. 
The addition of Garden Villas aboard Star (2001, later retrofit with Garden Villas) and Jewel (2005) means there are only six of these suites in the entire NCL fleet.  That puts them in even higher demand.
If you want the most luxurious accommodations available, cruise critics agree that Norwegian's Garden Villas are your best option.

Innovative Sports Features Make Cruise Ships A Healthier Place To Be

Innovative Sports Features Make Cruise Ships A Healthier Place To Be

Coastal Vacations

Word Count:

Summary:
Several cruise lines are incorporating some pretty innovative sports features into the designs of their new ships including a bowling alley and boxing ring.

Keywords:
Norwegian Cruise Line, Alaska cruises, cruises

Article Body:

Generally the phrase "cruise ship" brings about thoughts of pampering, exceptional food, indulgence and luxury.  While these are still the case, no one can deny our culture as a whole is becoming more health-conscious by the day.  The cruise industry recognizes this.  In fact, several cruise lines are incorporating some pretty innovative sports features into the designs of their new ships due out later this year. 
Norwegian Cruise Line is looking forward to the launch of its latest vessel, Norwegian Pearl, in February 2007.  Pearl will feature a fitness center (as most ships do).  But most notably, Pearl will be the first ship to include a full-size, 10-pin bowling alley. 
Following the fitness trend herself, Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas (which will debut in May 2006) throws some punches of her own - boxing punches, that is.  Freedom will be the first ship to offer a full-size boxing ring.  Freedom plans incorporate the inclusion of Royal Caribbean's popular FlowRider™ surfing simulator as well as a new group Pilates reformer studio.
Fight Klub will offer Freedom guests a variety of boxing-related activities.  Go one-on-one with an experienced instructor.  Run the circuit with speed bags, jump ropes, heavy bags and more.  Spar with body master bags or work out with your own on-site boxing coach.
Looking for something a little less intense, but just as effective?  Freedom will include the first-ever dedicated Pilates reformer group exercise program at sea.  Personalized training is available for guests who can also partake of yoga classes while onboard.
The newest cruise ships, such as Pearl and Freedom, also offer a variety of fitness classes including step, total body conditioning, stretching, core, circuit training, walking, jogging, running, strength training and more.
To further your knowledge of good practices for a healthy lifestyle, seminars are also available on a wide range of topics.
Not all fitness activities take place on the ships.  Freedom will also add an innovative feature for runners and walkers.  "Avid runners can follow mapped-out routes at select ports of call and enjoy a safe run at each destination without having to worry about getting lost on their way back to the ship or measuring the distance on their own."
From ice skating to rock climbing to the always-popular treadmill jog, cruise ships are following the fitness craze.  As you can plainly see, cruising is now more about living your best life in balance than sheer indulgence.  While you're being pampered, getting a glowing tan and treating yourself to truly lavish cuisine, you can also be toning, shaping and firming so you look better than ever when you return.
