FAQ's

No. This year, Horizons registration and accommodations are bundled together and must be booked as a package through the official Horizons cabin block. Bookings made outside of the Horizons block are not eligible to attend the conference.

Horizons is offered as a package that includes both conference registration and accommodations. There is no separate registration-only option. Please visit the Your Horizons Voyage page to view package pricing, stateroom options and everything included in your Horizons experience. 

Yes. The Double Occupancy Package price is the same whether you are sharing with another Horizons attendee or a personal guest. 

If your cabin mate is attending Horizons, the package includes their Ensemble Horizons registration. If they are joining you as a personal guest, the package includes their guest fee instead of event registration.

Personal guests will enjoy the full cruise experience included with your cabin package, including accommodations in your selected cabin category, the Unlimited Open Bar package, one Wi-Fi login per cabin, standard onboard dining, live entertainment, onboard activities, access to pools, fitness facilities and public areas of the ship, plus public access to Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau.

Personal guests are not registered Ensemble Horizons attendees and therefore will not have access to Horizons business programming or hosted experiences, including meetings, networking functions, Haven access, partner-hosted dine-arounds, hosted activities, or sponsor-hosted invitations such as private Great Stirrup Cay experiences or hosted activities in Nassau.

While Horizons programming is reserved for registered attendees, we do have a limited number of balcony cabins that can accommodate up to two adults and two children. Please contact events@ensembletravel.com to inquire about availability.

Children must be accompanied by an adult who is not registered for Horizons. Personal guests, including children, may not participate in scheduled Horizons programming, events or meals but are welcome to enjoy the public ship attractions and restaurants.

As The Haven will be used for select Horizons event programming, all guests staying in The Haven must be 18 or older.

NCL does not offer child discounts or other promotional offers in conjunction with group rates. Children are considered personal guests and the $500 fee applies.  

Every Ensemble Horizons package includes your event registration, accommodations in your selected stateroom category, and the onboard cruise experience aboard Norwegian Joy.

Your package includes meals in complimentary dining venues, regular coffee, tea, ice water and select juices, onboard entertainment, poolside activities, fitness facilities, sports courts, outdoor pools and hot tubs, and select onboard programming.

Your package also includes the Unlimited Open Bar for each attendee, one Wi-Fi login per cabin, and all taxes, fees and gratuities. 

It’s all taken care of during Ensemble Horizons registration. Simply choose whether you’ll be travelling single or double occupancy, then select your preferred stateroom category.

During registration, you’ll also have the opportunity to upgrade your stateroom and, for double-occupancy packages, register the second person sharing your cabin.

You’ll select your stateroom category rather than a specific cabin number. Ensemble will assign your stateroom within your selected category approximately 30 days prior to sailing. Specific cabin numbers, deck locations, and proximity to other attendees cannot be guaranteed.

We are also exploring optional pre-Horizons ship tours and hotel inspections on April 3–4 for those interested in arriving earlier. More details will be added to the Horizons website soon.

Attendees are responsible for arranging and covering the cost of any pre- or post-cruise hotel nights, as well as arriving at the Port of Miami in time for embarkation.

Horizons begins onboard Norwegian Joy on April 5, 2027, and concludes prior to disembarkation in Miami on April 9, 2027.

A valid passport is strongly recommended for all Ensemble Horizons attendees.

For U.S. citizens sailing round-trip from Miami, Norwegian Cruise Line currently permits either a valid passport or approved proof of U.S. citizenship together with a government-issued photo ID. NCL strongly recommends travelling with a passport in case unexpected international travel is required during the trip.

For Canadian citizens and attendees from other countries, a valid passport is required. NCL states that non-U.S. citizens must carry a passport that does not expire within six months of the cruise return date, and additional visa or entry requirements may apply depending on citizenship.

Each attendee is responsible for ensuring they have the proper travel documents required for their citizenship and itinerary. We recommend reviewing NCL’s current travel-document requirements well in advance of sailing, as requirements are subject to change.

Yes. Your Horizons package includes one Wi-Fi login per cabin.
