Additionally, at the end of the year, 74% of its fleet was equipped with shore power technology.

For “Sailing Safely,” NCHL underlined its focus on the health, safety and security of guests and crew through public health programs, compliance measures, training and oversight across the fleet.

In terms of “Empowering People,” the cruise line said it invested in the growth and well-being of team members, noting that shoreside and shipboard team members completed over 395,700 training and development hours in 2025.
