Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced that Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Breakaway will each undergo significant updates to offer more onboard guest experiences, including a new cinema and dining experience, Silver Screen Bistro; a new outdoor recreational concept, Horizon Park; the extension of dining venues such as Cagney’s Steakhouse and Teppanyaki; and expanded accommodations including The Haven by Norwegian.
Following Norwegian Bliss’ dry dock from January 17, 2025, to February 2, 2025, guests can enjoy the addition of a new venue, Horizon Park. The outdoor gathering space will offer a variety of experiences from lawn-style games such as cornhole to giant Jenga and loungers for sunbathing on the top deck.
Building on the demand for the new three-bedroom category in The Haven by Norwegian, which was first seen on Norwegian Prima, and then expanded to Norwegian Joy and Norwegian Encore in 2024, Norwegian Bliss will now also update the Premiere Owner’s Suites. These top-tier suites will now include three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a separate dining room overlooking The Haven Horizon Lounge, and fully refurbished living areas, primary bedrooms and outdoor balcony furnishings. Repurposing a portion of the Observation Lounge on deck 15, the ship will also add 24 balcony staterooms and two club balcony staterooms.
Enhancements to public areas will include an expanded Cagney’s Steakhouse, replacing Los Lobos; an expanded Teppanyaki, replacing Coco’s; and the introduction of Palomar, the seafood specialty dining restaurant that premiered on Norwegian Prima in 2022, replacing Ocean Blue. Once the ship completes the two-week dry dock, Norwegian Bliss will embark on a 13-day itinerary, beginning on February 2, 2025, from Southampton to Miami before sailing to the Western Caribbean from Miami in February; cruising to the Mexican Riviera in March 2025; and sailings from Seattle for its Alaska cruise season starting in April 2025.

Norwegian Breakaway will then undergo enhancements from February 19, 2025, to March 14, 2025. Upon debuting, guests will have the opportunity to experience the Silver Screen Bistro, an immersive movie and dining venue for guests of all ages. Replacing the Spiegel Tent, the concept will offer comfortable, oversized recliners and retractable tables to enjoy shareable handheld menu items including select dishes from the global fusion specialty restaurant, Food Republic.
Similar to Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Breakaway will also offer the new Horizon Park outdoor recreation area. As an additional feature, the al-fresco venue will have an expansive stage for live music and entertainment. As a result of its popularity on the Prima Class ships, Norwegian Breakaway will also debut The Stadium, the complimentary outdoor activities concept offering family-friendly games. Additionally, guest-favorite restaurant Cagney’s Steakhouse will replace Moderno Churrascaria to add more seating to the venue and Ocean Blue will become Palomar. Lastly, Vibe Beach Club, the adults-only outdoor venue, and The Haven Sundeck will be expanded to feature additional seating and cabanas.
Following the completion of its three-week dry dock, Norwegian Breakaway will sail a variety of itineraries from Barcelona and Venice (Trieste), visiting picturesque European cities including Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Palma (Majorca), Cannes and Corfu.
Deal: Travelers can now take advantage of special offers throughout the holiday season and combine them with its year-round value-added package, “More At Sea,” which offers travelers more value with an unlimited open bar featuring more premium beverage brands, more specialty dining credits and more Wi-Fi minutes with high-speed internet powered by Starlink.
