"At Norwegian Cruise Line, our guests and what they value most is critical in order for us to develop experiences. Our goal is to provide them their very own best vacation," said David J.

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.
