Norwegian Cruise Line is expanding its Military Appreciation Program to Canada, enabling active Canadian service members, veterans and their dependents to receive special onboard experiences, amenities, and a 10% cruise fare discount across all sailings on all ships throughout the entire NCL fleet.
The program covers past and present members of the Canadian Army, Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Canadian Air Force and Canadian Coast Guard.
"The NCL family is committed to supporting the military community, and it is an honour to expand the benefits of our Military Appreciation Program to our allies in Canada," said NCL President David J. Herrera, who served in the U.S. Army National Guard. "It is a privilege to welcome men and women who have bravely served their countries, along with their families, on board our ships."
Norwegian Cruise Line launched its Military Appreciation Program in November 2022 to recognize active U.S. service members, veterans and retired military and their spouses with a 10% discount on cruise fares.
The ongoing offer can be combined with NCL’s Free at Sea package, which provides guests the opportunity to enhance their dream vacation with unlimited open bar, specialty dining, shore excursion credit and more.
In addition, military guests and their families receive special amenities and experiences once board, including an invitation to a special on-board reception, a welcome packet, and more.
Service members are validated through ID.me, a secure digital identity network that allows active and retired U.S. military members and Canadian armed forces to verify their identity once, and never have to re-verify their identity again across any organization where ID.me is accepted.

"The expansion of our Military Appreciation Program is a testament to our organization's passion for supporting and giving back to military service members," said Derek Lloyd, Norwegian Cruise Line's Canada-based Vice President of Sales for North America.
"Fostering a sense of community and providing military members with a welcoming environment to relax with family and friends is an honour for Norwegian Cruise Line."
In just under two years, more than 190,000 military members have registered for the program, and more than 150,000 of those registered participants have booked a cruise vacation with NCL.
