Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) reaffirms their commitment towards Asia, as the cruise line returns the Far East for the 2023-2024 cruise season. After a nearly three-year absence from the region due to pandemic-related border closures, Norwegian Jewel will be bringing back the Freestyle Cruising concept to Asian waters from October 2023 to April 2024.
Destination-Intensive Far East Itineraries
Norwegian Jewel will be sailing destination-heavy itineraries all over the region, ranging from 9 to 12 nights with most itineraries jam-packed with ports. Certain itineraries also feature overnight stays in selected popular destinations like Phuket, Kobe-Osaka (for Kyoto), and Singapore.
It is important to note that most itineraries are one-way, meaning guests either have to fly to the departure port, and/or fly home after the cruise.
