ALL-NEW OUTDOOR VENUE, UPGRADED STATEROOMS AND EXPANDED
RESTAURANTS ABOARD NORWEGIAN BLISS
Following Norwegian Bliss' dry dock from Jan. 17, 2025 to Feb. 2,
2025, guests can enjoy the addition of a brand-new venue,
Horizon Park. The versatile, outdoor gathering space will offer a
variety of experiences from lawn-style games such as cornhole to
giant Jenga and reclining loungers for optimal sunbathing on the
top deck. Designed by NCL's Innovation Team in collaboration with
SMC Design and Conductr, the area will flaunt sweeping views of the
ocean while providing a space for guests to come together in a
laidback, relaxed environment.
Building on the demand for the new three-bedroom category in The
Haven by Norwegian®, which was first seen on Norwegian
Prima® and then expanded to Norwegian Joy®
and Norwegian Encore® in 2024, Norwegian Bliss will now
also undergo updated accommodations for the Premiere Owner's Suites
with Large Balconies in the Brand's ship-within-a-ship concept.
These premium, top-tier suites will now include three bedrooms;
three-and-a-half baths; a separate dining room overlooking The
Haven Horizon Lounge; and fully refurbished living areas, master
bedrooms and outdoor balcony furnishings. Repurposing a portion of
the Observation Lounge on deck 15, the ship will also add 24
additional balcony staterooms and two additional club balcony
staterooms.
As a result of overwhelming guest popularity, enhancements to
public areas will include an expanded Cagney's Steakhouse,
replacing Los Lobos; an expanded Teppanyaki, replacing Coco's; and
the introduction of Palomar, the elevated seafood specialty dining
restaurant that premiered on Norwegian Prima in 2022, replacing
Ocean Blue. Once the ship completes the two-week dry dock,
Norwegian Bliss will embark on a 13-day itinerary, beginning on
Feb. 2, 2025, from Southampton, U.K. to Miami, before sailing to the Western Caribbean from Miami in February
2025; cruising to the Mexican Riviera in March 2025; and sailings from Seattle for its Alaska cruise season starting in April 2025.
INDUSTRY- FIRST MOVIE AND DINING EXPERIENCE AT SEA ON
NORWEGIAN BREAKAWAY
As part of NCL's commitment to its guest first philosophy,
Norwegian Breakaway will also undergo enhancements from
Feb. 19, 2025, to March 14, 2025. Developed by the Brand's
Innovation Team and Studio DADO, a longtime design partner of NCL,
guests will have the opportunity to experience the all-new Silver
Screen Bistro, an immersive movie and dining venue for guests of
all ages to enjoy. Replacing the Spiegel Tent, the industry-first
concept will offer comfortable, oversized recliners and retractable
tables to revel in shareable handheld menu items including select
dishes from the global fusion specialty restaurant, Food
Republic.
Similar to Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Breakaway will also offer
the brand-new Horizon Park, an outdoor recreation area on top of
the ship to bring guests beautiful 360° views of the ocean. The
al-fresco venue will boast an additional feature, an expansive
stage for live music and entertainment, for guests to enjoy with
friends, family and fellow cruisers.
As a result of its popularity on the Prima Class ships,
Norwegian Breakaway will debut The Stadium, the complimentary
outdoor activities concept offering family-friendly games.
Additionally, guest-favorite restaurant Cagney's Steakhouse will
replace Moderno Churrascaria to add more seating to the venue, and
Ocean Blue will become Palomar. Lastly, Vibe Beach Club, the
adults-only outdoor venue, and The Haven Sundeck will be expanded
to feature additional seating and cabanas for guests to take in
more of the stunning sea and destination views.
Following the completion of her three-week dry dock, Norwegian
Breakaway will sail a variety of itineraries from Barcelona, Spain and Venice (Trieste), Italy visiting picturesque European cities
including Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Italy; Palma (Majorca), Spain; Cannes,
France; Corfu, Greece; and
so much more.
