Norwegian Bliss is a large Breakaway Plus-class ship built for Norwegian Cruise Line and delivered in 2018. Refurbished in 2025, it combines expansive outdoor areas with a strong mix of family attractions, entertainment, dining and relaxation. Signature features include The Waterfront oceanfront promenade, a two-level go-kart track, waterslides, the Observation Lounge and The Haven suite complex. With approximately 4,010 guests at double occupancy and 20 passenger decks, it offers a broad resort-style experience rather than an intimate small-ship atmosphere.
The two-level Bliss Speedway, The Waterfront promenade, Observation Lounge, Aqua Park and adults-only Spice H2O are among the ship’s defining features. 678 Ocean Place provides a multi-deck hub for entertainment, activities and social venues.
Dining ranges from complimentary main restaurants and buffet service to specialty venues including Cagney’s Steakhouse, Los Lobos, Teppanyaki, La Cucina and Palomar. The Waterfront adds several restaurants and bars with ocean-facing outdoor seating.
Entertainment includes The Choir of Man, live music, comedy and theater-style productions, along with bars, lounges and nightlife venues. The Cavern Club and Observation Lounge provide additional music and panoramic-view experiences.
Accommodation includes interior, oceanview, balcony and club balcony rooms, suites, The Haven accommodations and dedicated Studio rooms for solo travelers. The ship has approximately 2,043 passenger cabins.
Families have access to the two-level go-kart track, Aqua Park waterslides, pools, hot tubs, mini-golf and youth programming. The ship also offers family-oriented cabins and activities across multiple age groups.
The onboard spa and fitness facilities offer treatment rooms, thermal-suite amenities, salon services and exercise equipment. Pools, hot tubs and quieter outdoor areas provide additional ways to relax.
Norwegian Cruise Line provides accessible staterooms and assistance procedures, including support for mobility, hearing, vision, dietary and developmental needs. Guests should coordinate requirements with NCL’s Access Desk before sailing because specific features and arrangements vary.
The ship was designed with emission-control and energy-efficiency systems, reflecting its original Alaska-focused design. NCL’s broader Sail & Sustain program includes waste reduction, recycling, shore-power investment, emissions targets and ocean-protection initiatives.
