When it comes to the perfect night on a cruise ship, Norwegian Sky has all the bases covered.

Family
Norwegian Sky likes to ensure that each and every guest has the time of their life during the cruise, no matter their age. Your kids will have plenty of choices for fun with the Kids Crew program as the staff have tons of activities that will keep them entertained, meaning you'll have time for lounging at the pool or dancing at one of our ultra-chic parties. The Splash Academy, for 3-12 year olds, offers a host of activities, from arts and crafts to sports competitions, so the little ones can have fun and make friends at the same time.
However, holidays are also about spending time together as a family, which is why the Splashes Children Pool is so popular as everyone can enjoy the pool deck together. Alternatively, and often a hit amongst the older kids and parents alike, the video arcade has both retro and modern video games.
Things to do
Spa and Fitness
If you can’t indulge yourself when you’re on holiday, when can you? The spa onboard Norwegian Sky is perfect for some “me time”, where experienced professionals are waiting to pamper you. Choose from an extensive menu of treatments- including aromatherapy and massage- let those stresses evaporate in the sauna or book in at the salon and feel like a new you.
However, if your idea of relaxation is a good workout, Norwegian Sky also has this covered. Body Waves Fitness Centre is fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, so what are you waiting for? Head over and get that blood pumping! Alternatively, if you like exercise, but don’t enjoy the gym, there are plenty of other options. With a multi-sports court and golf driving net, challenge others to a bit of friendly competition during your cruise.
Recreation
While the main draw of a cruise may be the amazing destinations you get to visit, this doesn’t mean that you won’t find lots of fun things to do on the ship. Many guests like to head straight to the pool area where they can cool off in the water or sip on a cocktail in one of the many sun loungers, admiring the stunning ocean views. This is always a popular spot on the ship, so you’re guaranteed to feel in amongst the buzz of cruise ship life.
However, if you’d like to escape the hustle and bustle for a while, there are lots of more peaceful spots to discover. The Mark Twain Library is a great place to go to get lost in a book for a few hours, or perhaps you’d rather spend some time browsing through the onboard shops to see if there are any duty-free treats that take your fancy.

Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Norwegian Sky
I recently experienced was one of those rare holidays where everything simply worked — not because it was flashy, but because every detail felt thoughtfully handled. From the moment we boarded, the crew set the tone: warm greetings, effortless check‑in. Days onboard were a perfect balance of calm and energy. The pool deck never felt overcrowded, and the entertainment team struck that sweet spot between fun and not overbearing. The dining options were genuinely impressive. The main restaurant delivered consistently well‑prepared dishes.
Staff are excellent, unfortunately food and staterooms are not a patch on previous NCL ships, which is probably why it's being sold later thisyear
A lovely ship it's such a shame she is going. Lovely ports all well organised. The crew were superb. The food in all areas was great especially the buffet, the local, the bistro and Cagney's
All the specialist restaurants were amazing
