Family Holidays Everyone Will Love

NCL Bella makes it easy for everyone in the family to get their version of a dream holiday — from high-energy adventures and dedicated spaces for kids and teens to stylish accommodation and sophisticated venues for adults. With exciting destinations and experiences both on board and ashore, everyone can find something to look forward to. Because time together is that much better when everyone gets what they want.

Out Here, the World is your Playground

  • Onboard Adventures for Every Age: Families can fly down a waterslide together at Ocean Heights or parents can grab a cocktail at Daybreak Bar as the kids take on the Moon Climber. Little cruisers can splash away at the Kids' Aqua Park, while teens grab a bite with friends at Surf's Bay.
  • Complimentary Kids' Clubs: From Splash Academy (ages 3–12), offering games, art and themed activities, to Entourage (ages 13–17), a teen-only lounge with video games, movies, sports and parties, kids and teens have plenty of ways to have fun on their own.
  • Time for Grown-Ups: When the kids are busy with their own fun, parents can enjoy some time to themselves — whether that's a spa treatment, cocktails at sunset, a date night or simply relaxing at an oceanfront pool.
  • Destinations That Come to You: Explore more without the hassle. Wake up somewhere new, step off the ship to explore, then return to the same cosy stateroom each night — no repacking, new hotels or dragging the kids between destinations.
  • Shared Memories, Your Way: Families can gather over meals (kids under 12 dine free!), explore the ship or discover exciting destinations together, while expansive suites or adjoining staterooms make it easy to stay close and still have space of your own.

 

Meet the Hull Artist

The hull art for NCL Bella was created by Australian muralist George Rose. Her work reflects the connections between place, nature and the experiences that stay with us, making her the perfect fit to create a piece that will travel the world on a ship where guests make memories of their own. She creates botanical-inspired work using a personal reference library of photographs she's collected and taken over the course of a decade. Her work is full of vivid colour, transitional gradients and shapes both abstract and nature.
