Does NCL cruise have shampoo and conditioner?

Norwegian Cruise Line supplies every stateroom bathroom with shampoo, conditioner, and soap. However, guests may require some toiletries that are not offered onboard. If you are someone who is partial to specific products, I recommend bringing your own.



In 2026, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) continues to provide complimentary shampoo and body wash in all staterooms, usually via wall-mounted dispensers in the shower. However, standard cabins (Studios, Insides, Oceanviews, and Balconies) typically offer a "two-in-one" conditioning shampoo rather than a separate bottle of high-quality conditioner. If you have specific hair care needs or require a separate, heavy-duty conditioner, it is highly recommended to bring your own travel-sized bottles. Guests staying in The Haven or higher-tier suites receive upgraded, premium bath amenities which often include separate designer shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. Additionally, NCL’s "Sail & Sustain" program in 2026 focuses on reducing single-use plastics, so you won't find small individual bottles in standard rooms. If you forget yours, the onboard gift shop sells various hair products, though at a significant markup compared to land-based prices.
