Norwegian Jade

From beautifully crafted menus in the two main dining rooms, to a selection of casual cafes, on-the-go choices and a large buffet restaurant, a cruise onboard Norwegian Jade does not disappoint in the dining department. With breads, pastries and desserts freshly baked on the ship, you can be sure that only the freshest ingredients are used and with options for every mood, dining can be as casual or intimate as you like.

Complimentary Dining

The main dining rooms are a treat for the senses. Dine in Alizar, for an ever-changing menu with chef signature dishes which combine new flavours with classic favourites and head to Grand Pacific for first-class dining experience offering beautifully crafted dishes and playing host to Norwegian Cruise Line's delectable Chocoholic Nights. Experience some Asian Fusion at Jasmine Garden, for an authentic, freshly-prepared Asian menu.

For a more casual dining experience why not try Bali Hai Bar & Grill, and taste a selection of grilled meats in a fun, exotic atmosphere or pop to Topsiders Bar & Grill in between pool visits. Buffet options include Great Outdoors, which offers prepared-to-cook omelettes, waffles and a selection of other options including ethnic specialities. Plus, there's Garden Cafe, which has a special kids- only area.

Partial to a midnight snack or two? The Blue Lagoon, and O'Sheehans restaurants are open 24 hours a day and whether you fancy just a light bite or a full meal, there are plenty of options to suit.

Speciality Dining

If you're more of a Coq au Vin kind or person, or simply wish to widen your palate while on holiday, you may wish to choose from Norwegian Jade's selection of speciality restaurants for a cover charge or simply a la carte.

Moderno and Teppanyaki are the two cover charge restaurants. Moderno is perfect for anyone looking for a unique experience, where you can enjoy meats such as beef, lamb, chicken and pork carved by the tableside. Sit on a shared table around a large steel grill and watch the chef slice, chop and grill, steak, chicken and seafood in front of you in Teppanyaki.

The rest of the speciality restaurants are à la carte, including Cagney's Steakhouse, offering choice cuts of Certified Angus Beef and delicious truffle fries and La Cucina, for a taste of Tuscan countryside.

Reminiscent of a Parisian cafe, Le Bistro offers a romantic, intimate dining setting with elegant decors.

Get ready for some fantastic full scale productions including Blazing Boots, a thrilling tribute to pop country and showcasing songs from the very best including Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain and Taylor Swift, sure to get your boots blazing. Watch Elements, a show that revels in earth, air, water and fire for an incredible spectacle of sensual delight, enchantment and wonder.

Do you ever feel like the right person didn't win on a TV talent contest? Now you can be the judge. Watch four talented singers compete for your vote in a show sure to get the whole family moving. If that's not enough for you, attend one of Norwegian Jade's Soul Rockin' Nights for a high-energy party.

Recreation

The sports court will happily accommodate your sporting interests, where you can play a game of basketball, tennis or volleyball. Continue your competitive spirit with a game of cards in the Card Room or try your hand in the Jade Club Casino. Browse through the original works of art in the Art Gallery, all of which are available to be purchased, or if you're looking for something sparkly, try Colombian Emeralds International, and find the right sentiment for that special moment. There's also The Galleria Boutiques, which is a department store offering a range of brand named goods and special gifts.

You can find an excellent selection of things to read in the well-stocked library and can keep in touch with loved ones at the Internet Cafe. You'll never struggle to find somewhere to sit poolside when there are 323 deck chairs and 144 sun lounges either.

Spa and Fitness

Let the staff at Mandara Spa pamper you into complete Zen with some of the full array of spa treatments on offer. Jump into the Spa Thermal Suite and get the feeling of weightlessness and total relaxation which can be created in the Thalasso Therapy Pool with the kneading effect of the water. Soothe those aching joints in the steam room and detox your body in the sauna. There are also four outdoor hot tubs, where you can relax and enjoy the view.

With the Body Waves Fitness Centre open from 6am to 11pm, there is ample opportunity to remain active onboard, including aerobics and fitness classes daily. To round off the day’s activities, why not watch the sunset on an evening walk on the jogging track?
