A ship of ground-making design with a host of mouth-watering features
Norwegian Cruise Line’s groundbreaking ship, the 4,000 passenger Norwegian Breakaway, arrived in her year-round homeport of New York City in early May 2013 to begin weekly summer seven-night cruises to Bermuda and winter cruisers to Bahamas & Florida and the Southern Caribbean.
The ship is certainly not the faint-hearted, with action-packed thrills that literally take your breath away, or for early birds as an amazing entertainment line-up keeps you buzzing all night long.
Innovative features include The Waterfront and 678 Ocean Place – a wide range of indoor and outdoor venues on three dynamic decks that creates a whole new complex at sea that enhances guests connection with the ocean.
Entertainment includes three Broadway shows: five-time Tony nominated Rock of Ages; the dance sensation Burn the Floor ; and Cirque Dreams and Dinner Jungle Fantasy.
There are 27 different dining options – the sushi bar is exceptional – and Celebrity Chef and Food Network star Geoffrey Zakarian made his debut at sea with Ocean Blue by Geoffrey Zakarian. And for a cool drink, you have to viusiut the Ice Bar, unique to some Norwegian Cruise Line ships.
The top decks of Norwegian Breakaway feature the first Aqua Park at sea with five full-size water slides, including twin Free Fall slides, the first ever at sea, and a three-storey sports complex that includes the largest ropes course at sea, a nine-hole miniature golf course, basketball court, rock climbing wall and more.
The ship also features a rich mix of stateroom options including The Haven by Norwegian, comprised of 42 Suites at the top of the ship, and 22 additional Suites located throughout the ship; the innovative Studios, designed and priced for solo travellers; the re-introduction of Oceanview staterooms; Inside staterooms, Balcony and Mini-Suites; along with Spa Balcony, Mini-Suites and Suites in close proximity to the spa.
