Hong Kong, June 15, 2018 – Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Cruise Line’s sixteenth and largestship, heads off on her first Alaska season this June; then in October she will move to the Caribbean via a short season cruising the Mexican Riviera out of Los Angeles. Custom-built for the spectacular, this 2,043-stateroom, 167,800 gross-ton vessel, will boast many firsts at sea for the global market. |
The ship’s exciting new features will join the brand’s signature elements of freedom and flexibility that Norwegian is known for across the globe.
“Norwegian Bliss will no doubt be our most incredible ship to date,” said Andy Stuart, Norwegian Cruise Line President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have elevated Norwegian Bliss’s onboard experience to new heights, bringing the best features from across our fleet plus exciting new first-at-sea activities like the largest race track and new dining concepts to create the ultimate cruising experience.”
Norwegian Bliss will boast excitement around every corner and delight guests with thrills, with activities spanning the entirety of the ship’s top deck. For the first time aboard a North American-based cruise ship, Bliss features a two level electric-car competitive race track, the longest at sea at nearly 1,000 feet and an open-air laser tag course themed as an abandoned space station. Guests can also relax at the ship’s expansive pool and sundeck featuring two spacious pools and six infinity hot tubs that scale the side of the ship. The ship’s Aqua Park also includes two multi-story waterslides, with a translucent section that provides stunning ocean views as guests twist and turn to the finish line.
Bringing the best of Broadway to sea, enjoy the 2006 Tony Award® winner for “Best Musical,” Jersey Boys, hitting the high seas for its first production at sea after 11 record-breaking years on Broadway; and a completely new and original show created by Tony Award®-winning director and choreographer Warren Carlyle, headlining on the ship’s main stage, the Bliss Theater. Norwegian Bliss will also feature a new comedy club and nightlife venue, the Alibi, featuring sets from today’s most popular stand-up comedians, then transforming into a chic nightclub later in the evening. |
Foodies and cocktail connoisseurs will be able to dine, sip and savor to their heart’s delight with a breadth of dining and bar options aboard Norwegian Bliss, including signature Norwegian favorites as well as exclusive new concepts that will debut aboard the line’s newest ship such as dessert shop Coco’s, the all-American Texas Smokehouse, Q, upscale Mexican restaurant Los Lobos and Starbucks.
Norwegian Bliss’ custom design will offer guests the freedom and flexibility to create their ideal experience at sea, with a wide variety of accommodations including luxurious suites in The Haven by Norwegian®. Norwegian Bliss will also feature two observation lounges, including one exclusive to guests of The Haven®, perfect for whale watching in Alaska or taking in sunsets in the Caribbean. Continuing its tradition of featuring original artwork on its ship’s hulls, Norwegian Cruise Line has commissioned Wyland, one of the world’s premier marine life artists, to design the hull art for Norwegian Bliss; the artwork will feature images of humpback whales, found in every ocean around the world. The ship’s hull will serve as a large canvas to showcase the importance of conservation and ocean preservation.
Norwegian Bliss has embarked on her maiden voyage and will cruise seven-day voyages to Alaska from Seattle and in October, she will sail select voyages to the Mexican Riviera from Los Angeles. For her fall/winter season, she will sail to the Eastern Caribbean from Miami and in 2019; she will sail from New York City to the Bahamas and Florida, the Southern and Western Caribbean.
