Here’s our 5 Most Exciting Bliss Features…
1. The Haven Suites: VIP Ship-Within-Ship Paradise
Norwegian’s signature, ultra-luxurious getaway-within-a-getaway, The Haven by Norwegian®, will spread across three decks of the Bliss with 80 ultra-luxurious suites. An exclusive key-card will give you access to the secluded paradise that features a private restaurant and outdoor terrace. In addition, guests will enjoy a private, 180-degree Haven Observation Lounge with a dedicated mixologist, courtyard area with retractable roof that features a pool, two whirlpools, sauna, spa treatment rooms, and a sunbathing deck – in other words, pure vacation bliss!
2. Incredible 180-Degree Observation Lounge
One of Norwegian Bliss’ crown jewel features will be an incredible 180-degree Observation Lounge located at the front of the ship. Spanning 20,000 square feet, the sprawling Observation Lounge will be a breathtaking experience, offering floor-to-ceiling windows that will be the perfect spot to take in the stunning sunset views of the beautiful Caribbean islands during her winter season, or the awe-inspiring glaciers and vistas of Alaska in the Summer! The lounge will offer an abundance of plush, modern seating including couches and chaise loungers to take in the view, along with a 360-degree polished aluminum and quartz-topped central bar where guests can enjoy fine cocktails and spirits.
3. Homeport: Miami, ‘Cruise Capital of the World’
In November of 2018, Norwegian Bliss will arrive at its homeport of Miami where it will begin sailing seven-day cruises through the Caribbean, making stops in St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands), Tortola (British Virgin Islands), and Nassau (Bahamas). These heavenly island destinations match any in the world and provide beach bliss, delectable local cuisine, charming towns to explore, and the chance for tropical relaxation during onshore excursions. Considered its own ‘floating city’, Norwegian Bliss is a popular vacation destination in and of itself with wonderful attractions and venues that provide unforgettable experiences during your days at sea!
4. New Studio Cabins for Solo Travelers
Norwegian Cruise Line is making sure to accommodate travelers seeking individual enrichment during their cruise vacation, as well as those travelers who want the privacy of their own cabin without paying double occupancy price. Solo travelers can enjoy Norwegian’s popular and award-winning Studio cabins onboard Norwegian Bliss, now featuring virtual ocean views. The Studio cabins include delightful features and amenities designed and priced specifically for solo travelers. These cabins are accessible by private keycard-entry with access to a private lounge exclusively for Studio guests, where they can enjoy snack service, board games, and a member of the Cruise Staff dedicated to leading solo traveler meet ups and activities!
5. Inaugural Summer Sailings in Alaska
During her inaugural Summer season, Norwegian Bliss will sail weekly, seven-day Alaska itineraries embarking from Pier 66 in Seattle. Bliss will give guests the premier experience in one of the world’s finest cruise destinations, while also providing all the innovative features, entertainment, signature dining, and onboard experiences that Norwegian Cruise Line is known for. Bliss’ itineraries through America’s ‘Last Frontier’ will feature stops in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and Victoria, British Columbia, along with plenty of stunning views of the region’s landscapes, glaciers, and wildlife!
