Introducing Norwegian Breakaway

Yesterday I was given a presentation on the new Norwegian Breakaway and she looks an amazing ship. NCL have always been innovators in the cruise industry being the first major cruise line to offer freestyle dining. Now they have gone and done it again with The Waterfront.

Situated on the promenade deck this is a bit like a boardwalk with a range and bars, restaurants and an ice cream bar in an alfresco setting. I think this is a wonderful idea. Royal Caribbean offer The Promenade with the same concept but it is set within  the centre of the ship. I am an outdoor girl and would much rather sit in the sunshine whilst enjoying a cool cocktail.

At 143,500 grt she will carry approximately 4000 passengers and has many of the facilities of Norwegian Epic. Focusing on entertainment she will have the Howl at the Moon Duelling Pianos and Cirque Dreams and Dinner. They have also secured Broadway’s Rock of Ages for its theatre production. The older children will enjoy the massive water park including 2 vertical drop water slides whilst the younger ones will have the Nickelodean themed splash area.

Norwegian Breakaway launches next Spring with a transatlantic sailing from Southampton to New York. She will be based in New York for the summer offering 7 night cruises to Bermuda and then in the winter she will offer a series of cruises to the Bahamas and Florida and 2 twelve night Caribbean cruise in January 2014.
