Norwegian Cruise Line is looking to change the game with the recent introduction of its newest ship, Norwegian Encore.

No matter what destination you have in mind, or what kind of ship experience your family enjoys, Norwegian has an itinerary. Including the relatively new Breakaway Plus ship class, Norwegian offers 17 ships across six ship classes sailing to destinations all over the Americas, Europe and even Hawai’i with the one-of-a-kind Pride of America.

The biggest change to the line’s fleet in the coming months is bound to be the introduction of the Encore. The new ship was delivered to Norwegian late last month and begins sailing to the Caribbean at the end of this month.

The new ship is nearly 1,100 feet long and can accommodate 3,998 passengers. For reference, the largest Norwegian ship boasts a guest capacity of 4,100 passengers.

One of the main factors that sets Norwegian apart from other cruise lines is the close attention it pays to its onboard entertainment. From comedians, musicals and magicians to deck parties and lounge games, there is never a shortage of things to do on days where you are at sea. The Encore continues this tradition with all-new entertainment. The ship includes a production of Kinky Boots, features the longest race track on a cruise ship and has a huge outdoor laser tag arena. Escape room and theater experiences are just a few options for family activities at sea.

In addition to playing host to tons of great entertainment experiences, the ship is the first in Norwegian’s fleet to eliminate single-use water bottles by way of a partnership with JUST Goods, Inc.

Norwegian Cruise Line checks a lot of the same boxes as other cruise lines in the market, including a private island in the Bahamas, Great Stirrup Cay, which offers an excellent opportunity to visit the beach and revel in paradise.
