Entering service in 2007 at 93,530 GT and carrying 2,394 passengers, Norwegian Gem presents a “Freestyle" cruising concept, which allows guest to dine in any of the 12 restaurants (some pay-extra), in casual attire, at times of their own choosing. Inside décor is bright to attract the young and active.

The ship is particularly suited to families, indeed it is a floating leisure centre. Watch your extra costs as they mount up. Accept the usual queues that come with a large ship. The level of hospitality is very good. Read more

All ages are well catered for. Dress is casual. The cheery and welcoming staff range over more than 60 nationalities.
