Norwegian Cruise Line has announced a free and reduced roundtrip airfare promotion for Norwegian Joy's seven-day Alaska itineraries from April to September 2019.

The offer is available for one day only to the public, on September 14. Past guests will have early access as of today. New bookings for a balcony stateroom or above are eligible for free or reduced roundtrip economy class airfare for up to two guests. The offer applies to more than 100 airports in the US and Canada.

Guests reserving The Haven or Concierge levels will receive complimentary airfare at all eligible airports. Guests may instead choose a discount of up to $1,000 per stateroom. The Free Air promotion may be combined with the line's Free at Sea offer.

The promotion highlights Norwegian Joy's year-round reposition to the west coast. The ship will undergo some $50 million in upgrades before arriving in Seattle for the Alaska season. She'll emerge with amenities that are virtually identical to those of her sister ship, Norwegian Bliss,

"Alaska itineraries are some of our most popular cruises amongst travelers nationwide, as they offer one of the best ways to see and experience the Last Frontier," said Andy Stuart, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. "We're extremely excited to have Norwegian Joy join her sister Norwegian Bliss in Seattle next year, so we're asking guests to join us in celebrating her arrival with this new and exciting free airfare promotion."

Norwegian Joy will cruise Alaska itineraries that call on the iconic destinations such as Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Holkham Bay and Icy Strait Point. She will also visit Victoria, British Columbia. After her Alaska season, Norwegian Joy will offer cruises to the Mexican Riviera and Panama Canal from Los Angeles.

The Free Air promotion is based on availability and is not applicable to Sail Away categories.
