Norwegian Cruise Line is making cruise dreams come true with this Breakaway Plus Class cruise ship. Norwegian Bliss joins sister ship Norwegian Escape as one of the largest ships in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet and has been custom built to make the most out of the spectacular destinations she visits.
Norwegian Cruise Line asks you to imagine awe, imagine exhilaration and imagine bliss as you cruise onboard Norwegian Bliss to outstanding destinations such as Alaska and the Caribbean. A revolutionary Observation Lounge at the ship's forward offers the most expansive views at sea, ensuring everyone gets a glimpse of stunning scenery.
Stateroom and suite options are plentiful onboard Norwegian Bliss, and all types of cruise guests can find suitable accommodation. A selection of studio staterooms are available for no single supplement cruises featuring virtual ocean views, while connecting staterooms are ideal for families or groups wanting to be near each other. A range of luxurious suites are available in The Haven by Norwegian and guests staying here will also have access to an exclusive Observatory Lounge reserved purely for Haven Suite guests. This exclusive area of the ship has the most luxurious accommodation, with your own butler and concierge service, private pool and courtyard, along with access to the Haven Lounge and restaurant.
Norwegian Bliss offers a fantastic array of dining choices such as the Garden Café buffet, three main dining rooms, and the Local 24hr Bar & Grill.
Speciality restaurants include:
What's more, some of these amazing dining venues feature waterfront alfresco dining on the promenade! After dinner, pop along to Starbucks where you can order your favourite speciality coffee.
For gentle entertainment, guests can choose from a number of atmospheric and welcoming bars such as The District Brew House, where there are 50 bottled and draught beers to try, and The Cellars where you can choose from 35 different wines, and attend seminars or tastings beforehand if you're not sure what you like best. Other venues include the Sugarcane Mojito Bar, Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville at Sea, Malting's Whiskey Bar and Spice H2O.
Alternatively, if you're looking for something a little more exhilarating, opt for a night spent in the onboard casino and try your luck on a variety of games while enjoying drinks with friends.
There are also some thrilling production shows to see at the theatre, such as the Tony Award-winning Broadway show Jersey Boys, and Happy Hour Prohibition - the musical. The Cavern Club also hosts a Beatles cover band that perform nightly.
Families are expertly catered for onboard a Norwegian Cruise and from the moment you step on the ship, you’ll find dedicated spaces for every member of the family. The youngest guests can enjoy organised activities and sports tournaments at the Splash Academy, while Guppies is the perfect group for parent-child fun led by Early Years Coordinators. Teens haven’t been forgotten either, and the Entourage Teen Club is the place for them to retreat- strictly no parents allowed! Parents will also be pleased to know that during port days, Group Sitting means that they can escape for a few hours and finally enjoy the date night they’ve been planning for months.
To get everyone back together again, there’s no better place onboard than the Kids Aqua Park, where children can play safely in the water, while parents look on from the comfort of a sun lounger.
Nothing says holiday more than a trip to the spa and luckily Norwegian Bliss boasts the brilliant Mandara Spa with a Thermal Spa Suite, Vitality Pool, and even Salt and Snow Rooms. Relax while on heated tile loungers designed to soothe muscles, or spend time unwinding in the hot tubs. There is also a generous menu of treatments to choose from, and a Barber Salon too, so you can leave feeling truly spoilt.
Dive right back into the action onboard by heading to the Aqua Park, featuring swimming pools, hot tubs and water slides, including the tandem Aqua Racer, and breathtaking Ocean Loops flume. This latter slide even has transparent sections suspended over the side of the ship- try it if you dare!
The fun continues at the 1000-foot outdoor electric-car race track, a unique opportunity to burn some rubber in the middle of the ocean, or you could just to slow the pace down with a go on the mini golf course or a visit to the Video Arcade. For those looking for a more structured way to exercise during the cruise, the modern gym facilities, including classes and personal trainers, are a great way to keep you in shape.
Meanwhile, if your idea of a holiday is more leisurely then you’ll no doubt be delighted by the range of shopping opportunities on Norwegian Bliss. Whether you’d like to treat yourself to a new watch, give your wardrobe an upgrade or simply pick up a replacement for those sunglasses that blew overboard, you’re sure to find a shop to suit every need, with the added bonus of duty-free prices.
We had a week on this fantastic ship for an Alaskan cruise after 3 days in Seattle. It was our 9th NCL cruise but 1st time on the Bliss & it was by far the best in every way. Alaska is truly beautiful, it’s just sad to see the rate at which the glaciers are decreasing. The service on the Bliss was exemplary, even by NCL’s usual high standards. The staff went above & beyond what I’d expect of them, we wanted for nothing.
Really great for solo travelers
Fabulous ship, brilliant staff and crew. Stayed in a studio stateroom, plenty of room for a single traveller, and the ‘virtual window’ means the stateroom does not feel claustrophobic. The studio lounge is great, primarily for those in the studio staterooms providing a great space to meet and enjoy hot and cold drinks, along with snacks. The provision of activities and meetings specifically for Solo travellers was great, so that those who travelled alone could have the company of other solo travellers if they wished. New friendships have been established, and a brilliant time had by all in our solo group. I would throughly recommend the Norwegian Bliss, and can’t wait for my next cruise
