NCL offers Valentine's Day cruise discount

NCL is welcoming Valentine's Day by offering discounts of up to £100 per person on popular Western Caribbean and Western Mediterranean itineraries.

A romantic setting will be created on board with a special Valentine's Day dinner menu in the onboard French restaurant, Le Bistro.

Romantic cocktails will also be served throughout the ship, which will be decorated with heart shaped ice sculptures, and couples can slow dance the night away to a selection of love songs in the many on board bars and lounges before returning to their stateroom which will be receiving a special flower turn down.

But romance needn't come but one a year. Agents can offer couples looking to book a special trip a little starry-eyed sparkle with romantic upgrade packages available all year round.

Sparkling wine and strawberries, in stateroom canapés, keepsake photos and a special dinner for two on NCL are just some of the treats awaiting them on board.

A deluxe package is also available which includes complimentary spa treatments and breakfast in bed.

Stephen Park, general manager, NCL UK commented: "Valentine's Day provides agents with an additional platform on which to sell a post winter break, and the discounted prices available as part of NCL's Wave campaign on some of our most popular itineraries are an extra incentive to book."
