About the Elks Cruise

 

The Norwegian Pearl sailed her maiden voyage in 2006. She carries 2,846 guests, features 12 fine restaurants, 11 friendly bars and lounges, great entertainment, and the first bowling alleys  on the high seas.  She was recently featured on the Travel Channel special "Great Cruises: Norwegian Pearl." 

 

Those who sailed on the Elks Cruise in 2009 experienced first hand the impact of the many exciting enhancements that Norwegian Cruise Line has made to  Freestyle Cruising and the overall cruise experience -- things like "Welcome Aboard" champagne for everyone, new menu selections, such as lobster galore and signature specialty dishes, upgraded stateroom amenities, and a new array of Broadway-style shows.

 

Cruise line representatives will be there to look after you from the time your flight arrives in Miami to the time you get to your stateroom, then, from the time you leave the ship to the time you check in for your flight home. Getting there will be easy and hassle free! 

 

Simply stated, nothing matches the appeal of the sun-drenched Caribbean in the middle of a New England winter. Fascinating ports of call, miles of inviting powdery beaches, plenty of sight seeing and lots of duty-free shopping --- and the festive Norwegian Pearl is waiting to take you there!

 

What are you waiting for? The Caribbean is calling!
