Norwegian Bliss offers a brand-new outdoor venue, Horizon Park, providing a variety of experiences from lawn-style games to giant Jenga and reclining loungers for optimal views of the Last Frontier.
The sister ships, Norwegian Encore and Norwegian Joy, also feature refreshed spaces from recent dry docks, such as the new addition of Spice H2O, an adults-only, complimentary outdoor area tucked away from the main pool deck, and a spacious and newly expanded Thermal Suite in the Mandara Spa and Salon. Adventure seekers and wildlife lovers can enjoy round-trip, seven-day cruises every Saturday or Sunday aboard Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore, visiting some of the most beautiful locations in Alaska.

In addition to sailing aboard refreshed ships, guests can embark on their European dream vacation aboard some of NCL's newest ships in the fleet, Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, sailing a variety of Baltic, Northern Europe, and Greek Isles cruises.
Norwegian Aqua, the Company's newest ship in the fleet, is currently offering round-trip, seven-day Caribbean cruises from Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida, one of the busiest home ports in the US. The ship will return to Miami for a season of seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruises between October 2025 and April 2026, visiting Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, Tortola, and Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian's private island in the Bahamas.
