Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Breakaway will undergo major updates, including the new Silver Screen Bistro, Horizon Park, expanded dining options like Cagney’s Steakhouse and Teppanyaki, and enhanced accommodations in The Haven by Norwegian.
After Norwegian Bliss‘ dry dock from January 17 to February 2, guests can enjoy Horizon Park, a new outdoor venue which will feature lawn games like cornhole and giant Jenga, plus reclining loungers for sunbathing.
Norwegian Bliss will update its Premiere Owner’s Suites to include three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a separate dining room, and fully refurbished living areas, master bedrooms, and outdoor balcony furnishings. Additionally, 24 new balcony staterooms and two club balcony staterooms will be added by repurposing part of the Observation Lounge on deck 15.
Due to guest demand, Norwegian Bliss will enhance public areas with an expanded Cagney’s Steakhouse (replacing Los Lobos), an enlarged Teppanyaki (replacing Coco’s), and the introduction of Palomar, a seafood specialty restaurant from Norwegian Prima. After a two-week dry dock, the ship will begin a 13-day journey from Southampton to Miami on February 2, followed by Western Caribbean and Mexican Riviera cruises, and its Alaska season starting in April 2025.
Norwegian Breakaway will undergo enhancements from February 19 to March 14, 2025. The ship will introduce the Silver Screen Bistro, an immersive movie and dining experience for all ages featuring oversized recliners, retractable tables, and a menu of shareable handheld items, including select dishes from the global fusion restaurant, Food Republic. This will replace the existing Spiegel Tent.
Like Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Breakaway will debut Horizon Park, an outdoor recreation area offering 360-degree ocean views. This al fresco space will also include a large stage for live music and entertainment, providing guests with a vibrant space to enjoy performances with family, friends, and fellow cruisers.
Due to its popularity on the Prima Class ships, Norwegian Breakaway will introduce The Stadium, a complimentary outdoor activity space offering family-friendly games. Additionally, the guest-favourite Cagney’s Steakhouse will replace Moderno Churrascaria, providing more seating, while Ocean Blue will be transformed into Palomar. The Vibe Beach Club, an adults-only outdoor venue, and The Haven Sundeck will be expanded with more seating and cabanas, offering guests enhanced views of the sea and destinations.
After a three-week dry dock, Norwegian Breakaway will embark on a variety of European itineraries from Barcelona, Spain, and Venice (Trieste), Italy, visiting cities such as Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Palma (Majorca), Cannes, Corfu, and more.
Norwegian Cruise Line offers a variety of tropical cruises to the Caribbean and Bahamas from over 10 ports, including Miami, Orlando (Port Canaveral), New York, and San Juan. These sailings visit destinations like St. John’s (Antigua), Bridgetown (Barbados), Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic), Harvest Caye (Belize), and the private island Great Stirrup Cay (Bahamas), which will debut a new pier in late 2025.
Norwegian Cruise Line’s president David J. Herrera said: “From creating new concepts that offer more outdoor gathering spaces for making memories with friends and family, to expanding dining options that consistently bring joy to our guests across our fleet, we’re providing more to do and more to enjoy for all types of travellers.”
