Last week I had the pleasure of touring Norwegian’s newest ship, the Norwegian Encore. As part of its Breakaway Class of ships, the ship is cutting-edge and bringing a wealth of dining and entertainment to the high seas.
I’ll let this selection of images from my tour do most of the talking, but here’s a few facts about Norwegian Encore to give you an overview of the ship at a glance:
- Delivery was taken on Oct. 30, 2019
- There are 20 decks
- Total passenger cabins are 2,043, with 4,963 passenger capacity
- Staterooms range from The Haven suites to studio staterooms
- The ship will stage a full-scale production of the Broadway show Kinky Boots
- Other entertainment includes The Choir of Man, a comedy show, a Beatles cover band and Happy Hour Prohibition: The Musical
- At more than 1,100 feet, Speedway is the largest race track at sea
- Laser tag meets augmented reality in an Atlantis-themed, outdoor laser tag arena
- Complimentary dining is available at Manhattan, Taste, Savor, Garden Café and The Local Bar & Grill, with another 14 specialty options
- 14 bars and lounges are available on board
