An NCL Sun Alaska cruise is an excellent choice for those looking to experience Alaska while Norwegian's "Freestyle Cruising" concept.
Unlike Norwegian's other two ships sailing in Alaska, the NCL Sun sails round-trip from Vancouver to the Inside Passage ports of Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and the amazing Sawyer Glacier.
First launched in 2001, the Norwegian Sun was the very first ship built specifically around the "Freestyle Cruising" concept.
The sun has 9 different restaurants to choose from, offering everything from French Mediterranean cuisine to Pacific Rim/Asian fusion fare.
A 24-hour snack restaurant and round-the-clock room service are both also included at no extra charge (a great opportunity to finally partake of room service without worrying about the bill for the $35 hamburger!)
The ship is large, holding up to 2400 passengers and 800 crew members, making it second largest of the three NCL ships in Alaska (after the Norwegian Pearl).
As for sports, there is everything from a jogging track to basketball, golf a batting cage, driving range, shuffleboard, and a full gym to burn off the extra calories you take in eating all that incredible food!
For entertainment, the ship has a wide range of choices, as you would expect from a top cruise line like Norwegian.
There are comedians, Broadway type reviews, musical acts, and a full casino with all the games, slots, and tables.
NCL is the most family-friendly of cruise lines in Alaska, and the Sun has several options for kids of all ages: the Kid's Korner in Deck 7 is supervised by youth counselors and offers the "Kid's Crew" children's program, which serves 3 different age groups.
The Teen Club provides a place for the older kids in the family to hang out, dance, play video games, table hockey, and listen to the jukebox.
Lectures by a naturalist are also available onboard, and topics include everything from sea life and native cultures to the local Alaskan flora and fauna.
An NCL Sun Alaska cruise is a great option for those looking to sail from Vancouver to the Inside Passage who seek a wide array of dining options, flexibility in dining times, wonderful activities, and great kids programs.
