We just returned from a cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines that took us from Venice, Italy to Athens, Greece! It was an amazing trip! But what about the ship? Check out my review on “Eat, Sleep, Cruise,” an informative website with everything you need to know about cruising!

Review: Norwegian Pearl

We found a great deal on an amazing itinerary on the Norwegian Pearl for a 9-night Greek Islands cruise from Venice, Italy to Athens, Greece for just over $3100 per person in a family balcony stateroom. This price included the “Free at Sea” program (More at Sea as of 2025), giving us a limited beverage package, 2 specialty dining meals per person, $50 shore excursion credit per day per stateroom, and 150 minutes of free wifi.

We had never sailed with Norwegian Cruise Line and were excited to give them a try! They have fantastic itineraries and a decent reputation. We are Diamond level with Royal Caribbean and have cruised on several other lines, so we have a lot to compare NCL to… did they measure up? Read my Norwegian Pearl review to find out!
