DAY 1 - 13 Jul 2022
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 3 PM
Boasting the iconic, futuristic Space Needle, visitors to Seattle can enjoy fantastic views from the Great Wheel as well as try delicious food in the Pike Place Market, or take in one of the city’s popular museums such as the Museum of Pop Culture, the Museum of Art or even the aquarium. Meanwhile, for those interested in horticulture and design, the Chihuly Garden and Glass is a must, while lovers of the great outdoors will find plenty of scenic hikes.
Things to do in Seattle:
Space Needle
Seattle’s most iconic symbol, the Space Needle towers 184 metres high over the city with jaw-dropping views from its observation area at the top. Completed in 1961, the Space Needle has been made world-famous by appearances in pop-culture, such as the hit film Sleepless In Seattle.
Museum of Pop Culture
“MoPOP” has regular exhibits celebrating everything pop culture and contemporary. Founded by Paul Allen of Microsoft in 2000, MoPOP is a great day of viewing original lyric notes, legendary instruments and even cinema, gaming, fantasy and sci-fi exhibits.
Seattle Center
If you only have a day in Seattle, the Seattle Center is ideal for getting a taste of the city in one go. Here, you’ll find the Space Needle, the pop culture museum, Chihuly Garden and Glass, ride the monorail and wander grounds boasting John T. Williams totem pole.
Seattle Great Wheel
Opened in 2012, this giant Ferris wheel is a great way to see the epic skyline of Seattle. Visitors will enjoy a leisurely ride a 53-metres up in the air - giving the London eye a run for its money - on pier 57 around Elliot Bay.
At Sea
DAY 2 - 14 Jul 2022
You will be at sea on day 2 while travelling from Seattle to Ketchikan.
Ketchikan
DAY 3 - 15 Jul 2022
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 10 PM
Ketchikan is famous for the totem heritage museum, educating sightseers about the indigenous populations’ history and culture with an unrivalled display of native totems and artefacts. For those wanting to learn about the gold rush a visit to Dolly’s House Museum and downtown Creek Street is a good comparison along with the great Alaskan lumberjack show. Nature lovers, meanwhile, can enjoy dramatic sights at nearby misty fjords national monument.
Things to do in Ketchikan:
Totem Heritage Center
Boasting one of the most extensive collections of original 19th-century totem poles salvaged from abandoned Tingit settlements. Many other original Native American artefacts are displayed here, as well as traditional arts and crafts workshops being held to keep native skills and traditions alive.

Victoria, British Columbia
DAY 5 - 17 Jul 2022
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 11 PM
The capital of British Columbia, Victoria sits just below Vancouver looking south and east over the Salish Sea. The city has a number of attractions such as the old carousel, Royal BC Museum Craigdarroch Castle and Chinatown district. However, the highlight of Victoria is its surrounding natural beauty where a tour is a must to Thetic Lake Regional Park. Here, you can explore the wonderful nature by hiking trail and sport wildlife such as eagles.
Things to do in Victoria, British Columbia:
Royal BC Museum
This fascinating natural and human history museum boasts over 7 million exhibits as well as a giant IMAX cinema for out-of-this-world shows. A highlight has to be the exhibitions covering the culture and history of indigenous peoples of North America.
Craigdarroch Castle
Built by Robert Dunsmuir in 1890 with investments in the local coal industry, this Victorian-style mansion is where you can learn all about the family and locals’ fascinating history, while exploring the quirky castle via artefacts displayed in each restored room.
Chinatown District
Originating in 1858, Victoria’s Chinatown is the second oldest in North America after San Francisco. With charming narrow, winding streets, Chinatown offers not only delicious food but an immersive look into the lives of its inhabitant past and present.
Thetis Lake Regional Park
Thetis Lake Regional Park offers pleasant walks around the banks of the lake and gorgeous evergreen woodlands, with easy yet beautiful hiking. Here, you get to spot such species as rainbow trout, red squirrels and the odd fellow hiker’s dog.

Had a great time on this ship which although the oldest and smallest in the fleet provided excellent service and food at all times, the scenery in the different countries was amazing and diverse and all the people were extremely friendly. Would certainly go with NCL again.
We have just returned from a ten day cruise on Norwegian Spirit to the Greek Isles and Italy this was our third cruise with NCL previously on the Star and the Breakaway. Whilst overall we had no complaints there were a couple of things. The pool area is extremely noisy and very busy especially on the sea day. The food was overall excellent and all crew very friendly and helpful. I would say that our main complaint was definitely the cleaniless of this ship in some public areas but in particular our stateroom wasn't that clean despite being cleaned every day. We appreciate that the steward only has a specific time to clean each cabin but would have appreciated a more thorough clean. When we arrived in our stateroom my husband drew back the curtain of the balcony door and there was a hat at the side of the small setee covered in dust and fluff obviously had been there for some time. Perhaps a bit more attention to the whole stateroom when cleaning would be advisable. Lesley (Edinburgh) - 8th to 18th May.
Don't read if you want to know about the ship as we've yet to sail! I just wanted to say how very helpful Craig has been in organising our last minute cruise booking. He was very sympathetic to our particular needs and went over and above to secure us a suitable cabin for our forthcoming cruise. Thank you Craig! Great customer service!
An enjoyable cruise, Good food and drink, attentive and friendly staff. A first class selection of ports of call The down side was that the ship is starting to show its age and needs refit
A stunningly classic ship, spacious and spotless cabins with excellent steward service. Buffet restaurant- plenty of food but overcooked and repetitive. Main restaurant - very small portions, poorly cooked food and very slow service. Evening shows - a different show every night of a 2 week cruise but only 3 shows were uplifting, music tended to be miserable, slow and boring. Cabaret lounge - entertainments team did some really stupid stuff like dressing up in bedsheets pretending to be ghosts and running around the lounge. more suited to kids than adults. Daytime entertainment - an immature cruise director led a programme of barely there activities more suited to Pontins than a cruise ship, bingo twice a day, bean bag tossing, and PAY to join a short art class. Onboard shops - lots of art, watches, duty free, expensive bags. Drinks - very expensive £27 for two cocktails. No kettle in the cabin. Water and canned soft drinks was £3.45 a bottle. Service charges of £14.70 per day PLUS 20% service charge added to every bar bill, and a space for you to add a gratuity. Rip-off. The senior ships officers held a public Q&A session, when asked why smoking was allowed in some public areas the Captain replied ' well people like to smoke and we won't stop them '. As a frequent cruiser, NCL will not be on my list again any time soon.
Lovely ship lovely ports beautiful weather shame the entertainment except for a world music show and Karl lovxley on our last evening who was brilliant so good we watched it twice was not to any standard that I expect of a cruise company disappointed is the polite term. The food was very repeated not much variation from one day to the next and hot food was Luke warm asked for mint sauce to go with lamb and awful mint jelly was put on my plate also service at dinner times was so slow felt like we were being ignored. Asked to share table with others and often refused and given table for two. So not used to this after sailing with P+O for so long will not be using them in the future
Just returned from my first ever cruise with NCL and it rates as one of my best yet (out of 10 previous cruises in past 3 years). We had the premium drinks package and pre-paid gratuities and I have to say they were very generous with the quantity and quality of the drinks available (any drink up to the value of $15). I rarely drink alcohol but was always served with a smile every time I asked for any type or mix of non-alcoholic drinks and Pepsi and 7 Up were served from cans. Previous cruise ships have usually only offered fizzy drinks from the tap or sickly sweet virgin cocktails. Food was excellent in both Raffles buffet and Windows dining rooms. There was an amazing selection which was always fresh and tasty. Orange (tasted like freshly squeezed), Apple, Cranberry juices and lemonade were available 24/7 in Raffles. There were a good number of food stations to have your food cooked just how you like it. We ate in 3 of the specialty restaurants - Cagney's Steakhouse, La Trattoria and Le Bistro. Food was excellent in all but service wasn't quite up to scratch in Le Bistro. The staff were so happy and friendly throughout the ship and service was generally excellent. We were onboard in time for lunch on embarkation day and never once had to queue for anything - restaurant tables, embarkation, disembarkation - everything was very well organised and very relaxed. Our outside cabin was a bit on the small side but seemed much roomier after we asked for the double bed to be made up as 2 singles. It was lovely to have full sized shower with a sliding glass door. There was more than enough room for everyone on the ship. Even on sea days there were plenty of free sun-beds and buffet dining tables. The only downside for me was the quality (or lack of) entertainment in the Stardust Theatre. eg, the singer/impressionist was very dated and boring. Also I wasn't attracted by many of the daily activities. Of course one of the best things about the cruises was having a zero stateroom bill at the end of it all. I'd definitely look to sail with NCL again. It just had a such lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere and we wanted for nothing
Sailed 18.5 2017. 2nd time on this ship. Its immaculate and beautiful, and clean. Food is 5 star as is the customer service. This is the smallest ship of the fleet, so there are no race tracks or fairgrounds on board. Just a sophisticated cruise experience, where you can be as casual or dressy to suit you. What we particularly like is the fact that you can eat at whatever time you wish. Western Med itinerary was fantastic. Have just booked again for next year.
To any one going on a first Cruise as my wife and I have just done Norwegian Spirit was ideal .very relaxed from the start, although I would not suggest boarding at the exact time required as it tends to be rather manic. Once this is done everything else is a breeze If I was to offer one note of warning it would be ,take the drinks package ,don,T buy bottles of wine it's ridiculously priced buy by the glass it's the same wine,and dont buy bottles of water ask for ordinary water which is perfectly acceptable. If you have the drinks package it,s just a case of handing over your piece of plastic and if the drinks are less than $15 then there is nothing to pay . Also I would suggest. Asking at reception to have the automatic 18% deduction for gratuities removed which they will do,then you can tip those that you feel deserve it Also. to those ever growing band of unfortunate coeliac/gluten free sufferers worry not as long as you notify the company when booking ,and the resterant on arrival ,they have a very competent team to look after you which makes the cruise so much more enjoyable.
Just got back from our cruise on the NCL spirit , myself and my wife enjoyed or 14 day cruise plenty of good things and only a few negatives .The food was excellent with Cagneys I found the best the steaks were excellent wasn't that impressed with the French restaurant Le bistro raffles the buffet restaurant was OK for a snack plenty of choice if you want.a good breakfast go to Windows you are Waiter service so it can be long wait but it's worth it entertainment could be better the shows were good in the theater in all would go on the spirit again only next time I go when it's warmer later in the year
We have just been on our first cruise aboard the Spirit, I have got to say it was the best holiday I have ever had. The staff, crew where absolutely fabulous. Food and entertainment also fantastic. The ship was spotless. Can't wait for our next cruise.
