Asuka III — 7-Night Norwegian Fjords

Loading this sailing…

Before you sail

What the fare covers, what it doesn't, and how this itinerary actually runs.

2 sea days

The pool loungers and the shaded spots go early on a sea day — by eight in the morning on a full ship, and this one carries 744 guests. Reserving one and leaving it is against the rules on most lines and crew do clear them, so send someone early rather than at ten.

4 port days back to back

Early tenders and late returns, several days running, with no sea day to recover in. Pick the two ports you actually care about and let one of the others be a lie-in — the itinerary is not a checklist.

Day one and the last day are half-days

A 7-night cruise is really 6 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

Already in the fare

All meals in the main dining rooms and buffet venues are covered by your fare.Most on-board entertainment, including shows, live music, and cultural performances, is part of your cruise experience.Access to the ship's fitness centers, pools, and public relaxation areas is included.Basic non-alcoholic beverages like water, tea, coffee, and some juices are typically available at no extra charge in dining areas.

The drinks package

Specific, all-inclusive alcoholic drinks packages are not a primary feature of NYK Cruises in the same way as some international lines, but luxury fares may include some beverages or offer premium packages typically around $80-120 USD per person, per day, including service charge.

Break-even: For a package of this type, it might require consuming approximately 6-8 alcoholic drinks per day, such as cocktails, glasses of wine, or premium beers, to offset the package cost.

A drinks package might suit guests who plan to enjoy multiple alcoholic beverages throughout the day, while those who prefer only a few drinks or mostly non-alcoholic options may find purchasing individual drinks more economical.

Gratuities: An automatic daily service charge, or gratuity, is usually added to your on-board account, typically around $15-25 USD per person, per day, varying slightly by cabin grade; these can often be prepaid or adjusted by contacting guest services on board.
Wifi: Wi-Fi access is generally available for purchase, with various plans; a basic tier might cost around $10-25 USD per day and is usually sufficient for messaging and light browsing, but not for streaming or large downloads.

Costs that surprise people

Speciality Dining. While main dining is included, some premium restaurants on board will incur an additional cover charge or à la carte pricing.
Alcoholic Beverages. Alcoholic drinks are generally charged per item to your account unless explicitly included in a specific fare type or package.

Shore Excursions. Guided tours and activities offered in port by the cruise line are charged separately and added to your on-board folio.
