1 Far Away Is Closer Than You Think. Freestyle Cruising from New York, Boston and Québec City

2 Cruise from the Northeast The Norwegian WaY. America may stretch from sea to shining sea, but its cultural mecca rests in two cities separated by just 225 miles. Sophisticated and vibrant, New York City and Boston are where new galleries and restaurants pop up daily. Where bars serve as much conversation as beer. And where parks are made out of meadows and train tracks. When you cruise The Norwegian Way TM, you ll find the same excitement, the same freedom and choice, but with some sand under your feet. To get there, just hop in a cab or ride the subway to our departure ports. Then check your briefcase at the door. And breathe.
