Norwegian Cruise Line Now Charge All Child Passengers

Norwegian Cruise Line Now Charge All Child Passengers

Norwegian Cruise Line now charge a fare for all child passengers, even if they are under the age of two.

Previous to the changes, which were enforced last week, Norwegian Cruise Line only charged a tiny portion of the fare plus government taxes and fees for kids under two.

“All children now pay the same rate, which is typically the reduced (third or fourth) fare when travelling with two adults in the same stateroom,” a Norwegian Cruise Line spokesperson told Cruise Critic.

The fare hike could mean that families have to pay hundreds more for their holidays as the previous prices for third and fourth berths with NCL was around 50 per cent off the lead inside rate.

Norwegian's new policy brings it in line with most other cruise lines that cater to children. Both Carnival and Royal Caribbean maintain fare policies that require the first two passengers in all cabins to pay full price, with reduced fares for third and fourth passengers in the same cabin - regardless of age.

Disney Cruise Line offers a larger price break for kids under three with the fare for all children under three years of age costing 50 per cent less than the cruise fare for kids ages three to 12, but their average price points on its cruises are typically significantly higher than those for Norwegian, Royal and Carnival.
