New NCL cruise ship the Norwegian BlissThe latest addition to Norwegian Cruise Line’s Breakaway Plus series, Bliss is Norwegian’s largest cruise ship yet and packs a lot of amenities and fun on board.  Bliss made its debut in Alaska and the Caribbean in Spring 2018, and it lives up to its name with tons of excitement and relaxation for its guests on-board this beautiful new cruise ship.

Here are the top 5 features of Norwegian Cruise’s Bliss that set it apart from other cruise ships.

Whether you are cruising with your partner, with children, or by yourself, Bliss has a variety of cabin options to suit every type of cruiser.  Bliss features seven different classes of cabins including The Haven, Mini Suites, Spa Suites, Balcony, Oceanview, Interior, and Studios.

The Haven is an exclusive access area that is like a 5 star hotel on the ship.  The Haven features luxurious accommodations including private balconies with gorgeous views, a 24 hour butler service and concierge service, and a private sundeck with cabanas located at the top of the ship.  The Haven boasts its own private lounge and bar, as well as a private dining room serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.  If you are looking for pure luxury on your Norwegian cruise, book a suite in The Haven and you will experience true Bliss!
