Following the excitement of major golf championships, guests can continue to enjoy the sport and revel in the ultimate golf getaway. What better way to embark on a journey to the world’s top courses than by combining an immersive cruise with an unforgettable golf experience?
Norwegian Cruise Line’s (NCL) voyages are one of the most valuable ways to travel as guests can wake up in a new destination almost every day! Sailing to Northern Europe, Bermuda and Hawaii where some of the world’s most popular golf courses can be found, NCL makes it effortless to plan, eliminating the hassle of airfare with its Free at Sea package, which offers buy one get one airfare, and cruising from one destination to another featuring championship courses. Not only can you enjoy golf in sought-after destinations, but while on board you can experience a world-class thermal spa experience to recover after a long day on the range, take a refreshing dip in the pool with a drink in hand and explore numerous dining options.
