ASTA Applauds Norwegian Cruise Line’s No-NCF Policy — and Hopes Others Will Follow Suit
On Jan. 16, ASTA (American Society of Travel Advisors) applauded Norwegian Cruise Line’s (NCL) elimination of non-commissionable fees, or NCFs, at an online industry town hall.
The cruise brand permanently removed NCFs as of Dec. 26, 2025, for all new bookings on sailings leaving on or after May 1, 2026. The move means higher earnings for travel advisors, as the full cruise fare (excluding taxes and fees) is now commissionable, extending to the line’s Free at Sea Plus package.
