The perfect antidote to today’s busy lifestyle, a well-matched cruise, can take you on a vacation that is as relaxing or active as you desire. Consider Freestyle Cruising, Norwegian Cruise Line’s breakthrough cruise concept that puts you in control of your vacation.

Why do members like cruising on NCL?
The reason is simply, NCL has a great product, an outstanding fleet of world-class ships and they offer amazing itineraries to ports-of-call around the world including the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Alaska and Hawaii. And as one of NCL’s top producers, Club ABC Tours has access to some of the best cruise deals and staterooms available.

In addition, NCL has sailings that depart right from Manhattan, so for many members they can avoid the hassle of airport security and the stress of flying to meet the ship. Consider some of the voyages this summer aboard the Norwegian Dawn, the Spirit and the Crown to Eastern Canada/New England, Bermuda, Bahamas/Bermuda and the Florida/Bahamas. Nothing compares with a sailing on the Hudson River with the New York City skyline right before your eyes. Most of all, members really enjoy the Freestyle Cruising that NCL offers.
