Norwegian Sun's new sailings from Port Canaveral are eligible for the 'Havana Nights' offer
Norwegian Cruise Line rolled out various offers that provide a choice of perks on top of its ongoing 'Free at Sea' promotion, extended through August, and its previously announced 'Havana Nights' offer.

The new 'Distinctive Voyages' promotion provides five free extras for booking select longer cruises. Passengers who choose sailings of nine days or longer in any stateroom category will receive a 120-minute phone package, 250-minute Internet package, $50 credit per shore excursion, up to $400 in air credit and $100 hotel credit.

Some 121 sailing dates are eligible, including itineraries to the Baltic, Australia and South America. The package is available for bookings from Aug. 7 through Sept. 30.

And, for one week only, on bookings through Aug. 7, 'Balcony Bonus Week' gives passengers who reserve a cruise of at least five nights in a balcony category or higher up to $500 in on-board credit. The amount of credit, per stateroom, depends on the category. Norwegian Joy sailings are not eligible.

Norwegian's 'Havana Nights' offer gives $50 in on-board credit for booking a new cruise now through Aug. 31 for 2017 and 2018 Cuba sailings. It applies to Norwegian Sun's new drinks-inclusive four-day cruises to Havana and Key West from Port Canaveral beginning in May 2018, and to Norwegian Sky's drinks-inclusive Cuba cruises from PortMiami. For either ship, customers can take advantage of reduced $50 deposits when booking by Aug. 7.

The 'Free at Sea' promotion for bookings made through August gives passengers who choose a new three-day or longer sailing in an ocean-view, balcony or mini-suite category a choice of two amenities from among five offers: unlimited open bar, a specialty dining package, $50 toward shore excursions in each port per stateroom, 250 minutes of Wi-Fi or a 'Friends & Family Sail Free' offer that allows the third and fourth person in a stateroom to sail for free on many 2017 and 2018 cruises.

Travelers who book inside staterooms or studios for solo travelers can choose one free offer. Those who reserve a suite or The Haven by Norwegian get all five amenities.

Honolulu-based Pride of America has a 'Free at Sea Hawaii' offer. Bookings made now through August come with a choice of one of five free offers including a one-night pre-cruise hotel stay with an option to select reduced airfare starting at $399 from select gateways, a specialty dining package, pre-paid service charges for the first and second person in a stateroom, $50 per port shore excursion credit per stateroom or 'Friends & Family Sail Free.' Travelers who book a suite on Pride of America get all five offers.

And Norwegian’s 'Holiday Bonus Bundle,' available now through Aug. 31, offers a $100 on-board credit on select holiday sailings over the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holidays. This credit is combinable with 'Free At Sea' and 'Free At Sea Hawaii.'

Various restrictions apply to each of these offers.
