Insights

The planned renovations for Norwegian Bliss and Breakaway represent a strategic move to enhance revenue potential and guest satisfaction. The addition of premium accommodations like the three-bedroom Haven suites and 26 new balcony staterooms on Norwegian Bliss directly targets the luxury segment, where profit margins are typically 20-30% higher than standard cabins.

The expansion of popular venues like Cagney's Steakhouse and introduction of Palomar seafood restaurant indicates a shift toward higher-margin specialty dining options. These venues typically generate 30-40% more revenue per guest compared to complimentary dining. The innovative Silver Screen Bistro concept on Breakaway creates a new revenue stream while maximizing space utilization - a important factor in cruise economics.

The timing of these renovations (early 2025) strategically positions both ships for their high-demand seasons - Bliss for Alaska and Breakaway for Mediterranean cruises. This scheduling minimizes revenue disruption while ensuring the ships are refreshed for peak booking periods.

This renovation program aligns with post-pandemic cruise industry trends showing increased demand for premium experiences and outdoor spaces. The new Horizon Park concept responds to the 42% increase in passenger preference for open-air venues since 2020. The expansion of adults-only areas like Vibe Beach Club reflects the growing "adult-centric" cruise segment, which has seen 25% growth in bookings.

The More at Sea package introduction, combining premium beverages and dining credits, targets the 65% of cruisers who prefer bundled offerings. This strategy typically drives a 15-20% increase in pre-cruise revenue while improving yield management. The timing of these enhancements, coupled with expanded European itineraries, positions NCL to capture the projected 8-10% growth in Mediterranean cruise demand for 2025.

MIAMI, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel, today announced that Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Breakaway and will each undergo significant updates to offer more onboard guest experiences, including a brand-new cinema and dining experience, Silver Screen Bistro; a new outdoor recreational concept, Horizon Park; as well as the extension of popular dining venues such as Cagney's Steakhouse and Teppanyaki; and expanded accommodations including The Haven by Norwegian®.

"At Norwegian Cruise Line, our guests and what they value most is critical in order for us to develop experiences. Our goal is to provide them their very own best vacation," said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. "From creating new concepts that offer more outdoor gathering spaces for making memories with friends and family, to expanding dining options that consistently bring joy to our guests across our fleet, we're providing more to do and more to enjoy for all types of travelers."

ALL-NEW OUTDOOR VENUE, UPGRADED STATEROOMS AND EXPANDED RESTAURANTS ABOARD NORWEGIAN BLISS

Following Norwegian Bliss' dry dock from Jan. 17, 2025 to Feb. 2, 2025, guests can enjoy the addition of a brand-new venue, Horizon Park. The versatile, outdoor gathering space will offer a variety of experiences from lawn-style games such as cornhole to giant Jenga and reclining loungers for optimal sunbathing on the top deck. Designed by NCL's Innovation Team in collaboration with SMC Design and Conductr, the area will flaunt sweeping views of the ocean while providing a space for guests to come together in a laidback, relaxed environment.

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 undergo updated accommodations for the Premiere Owner's Suites with Large Balconies in the Brand's ship-within-a-ship concept. These premium, 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, master bedrooms and outdoor balcony furnishings. Repurposing a portion of the Observation Lounge on deck 15, the ship will also add 24 additional balcony staterooms and two additional club balcony staterooms.

As a result of overwhelming guest popularity, 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 elevated 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 Feb. 2, 2025, from Southampton, U.K. to Miami, before sailing to the Western Caribbean from Miami in February 2025; cruising to the Mexican Riviera in March 2025; and sailings from Seattle for its Alaska cruise season starting in April 2025.

INDUSTRY- FIRST MOVIE AND DINING EXPERIENCE AT SEA ON NORWEGIAN BREAKAWAY

As part of NCL's commitment to its guest first philosophy, Norwegian Breakaway will also undergo enhancements from Feb. 19, 2025, to March 14, 2025. Developed by the Brand's Innovation Team and Studio DADO, a longtime design partner of NCL, guests will have the opportunity to experience the all-new Silver Screen Bistro, an immersive movie and dining venue for guests of all ages to enjoy. Replacing the Spiegel Tent, the industry-first concept will offer comfortable, oversized recliners and retractable tables to revel in 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 brand-new Horizon Park, an outdoor recreation area on top of the ship to bring guests beautiful 360° views of the ocean. The al-fresco venue will boast an additional feature, an expansive stage for live music and entertainment, for guests to enjoy with friends, family and fellow cruisers.

As a result of its popularity on the Prima Class ships, Norwegian Breakaway will 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 for guests to take in more of the stunning sea and destination views.

Following the completion of her three-week dry dock, Norwegian Breakaway will sail a variety of itineraries from Barcelona, Spain and Venice (Trieste), Italy visiting picturesque European cities including Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Italy; Palma (Majorca), Spain; Cannes, France; Corfu, Greece; and so much more.

SET SAIL TO SUNSHINE ON A VARIETY OF CARIBBEAN AND BAHAMAS CRUISES

In addition to offering immersive European itineraries, Norwegian Cruise Line provides a variety of tropical cruise vacations to the Caribbean and Bahamas from over 10 accessible embarkation ports including Miami; Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida; New York and San Juan, Puerto Rico. These fun-in-sun sailings feature visits to some of the most beautiful tropical destinations such as St. John's, Antigua; Bridgetown, Barbados; Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; NCL's resort style isle, Harvest Caye in Belize; and the Company's private island Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas, which will feature a brand-new pier in late 2025.
