Norwegian Cruise Lines are launching their brand new ship in April this year. I am lucky enough to be going on the inaugural visit with some of my colleagues on 29th April 2013 where I get to spend time on board and stay overnight. The New Norwegian Breakaway – looks to be an amazing ship & I am really excited about going on board to have a look around and see whats on offer. I have never been on Norwegian Cruise Lines so with this visit & my holiday on board Norwegian Epic – I truly will be cruising like a Norwegian this year!
Norwegian Breakaway
She will hold 4,028 passengers with various stateroom options from solo studios for those single travellers, inside cabins, ocean view cabins, balcony cabins, mini suites & the luxury Haven collection of suites & penthouses. Large haven family suites sleep up to 6 people so great for the larger family. Disabled cabins are also available but book early if you need one of these as book up quickly.
The Norwegian Breakaway will sail from Pier 88 in Manhattan, New York & offer a 7 night cruise cruise to Bermuda, some 12 night Caribbean itineraries & Bahamas & Florida for 7 nights. With 3 sea days on the Bermuda sailings you will have plenty of time to enjoy this amazing ship.
The Rockettes will be godmother to the Breakaway – known for their grace, athleticism & New York performances at the famous Radio City Music Hall. Exclusive departures will feature The Rockettes on board where they will be appearing in special dance classes, photo opportunities and meet & greet speaker sessions.
With 17 dining options located in 678 Ocean Place – you’ll never be short of somewhere different to eat.
As soon as you approach, you can feel the energy. It’s captivating. Magnetic. It’s one space that uniquely flows, intertwines and connects three entire decks of daytime and nighttime entertainment. This electric destination is the heart of Norwegian Breakaway. Welcome to 678 Ocean Place.
But it’s more than the vibe that will pull you into the experience. The architecture is also mesmerizing. Take in the sweeping views from each interconnected level. Marvel at the showcase chandelier sparkling with sophistication. And the glass staircases that elegantly spiral up and down in the spectacular space are, in a word, dazzling.
The Manhattan 2 deck dining room is one of the main dining rooms including in your cruise fare.
Speciality Restaurants including a steakhouse, french bistro, cirque dreams, ocean blu & many more…
From Broadway to Norwegian Breakaway, Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy has performed over 2,000 shows in more than 200 cities. What began as the amazingly popular Cirque Dreams and Dinner on Norwegian Epic, Cirque Dreams & Dinner Jungle Fantasy on Norwegian Breakaway is an exotic new twist under our colorful big top Spiegel Tent. Take an imaginative journey through a mystical jungle brought to life by an international cast of soaring aerialists, spine-bending contortionists and magnificent acrobats, jugglers and musicians. The spectacular costumes will dazzle you. The astounding feats will amaze you. From breathtaking butterflies to the balancing giraffes to the kings of the jungle, this explosion of athleticism, theater and imagination will exhilarate and entertain your entire family.
12 bars & lounges to choose from for your enjoyment after dinner.
Imagine spending your day or night exploring shops, restaurants and bars along a quarter-mile oceanfront boardwalk. The breeze tickles your skin. You can almost taste the salt air. Your connection to the ocean strengthens with each moment you spend outdoors. Now, imagine you’re miles out to sea. Eight decks above the water and worlds away from anything you’ve ever experienced. Welcome to The Waterfront.
The Waterfront is a destination you’ll want to experience thoroughly and often. With each visit, you can discover something new like Ocean Blue on the Waterfront, our first seafood restaurant, or have a martini at Shaker’s Cocktail Bar on the Waterfront.
Dine oceanside in an Italian trattoria and savour a glass of Chianti or pop into the martini bar for front row seats to the sunset.
Just as adventurers were drawn to the sea, you’ll feel the same sensation and exhilaration as you discover this revolutionary oceanfront destination. It’s a unique outdoor experience that adds a whole new dimension to Freestyle Cruising.
How about a bit of ‘Rock’ music in ‘Rock of Ages’ show – my sister would love this as a real rock chic!
Exclusively on Norwegian Breakaway, this 5-time Tony Award nominated famed musical heads up our award-winning entertainment lineup by bringing back the days of the big bands and big hair. Rock out to the scorching hits of the 80s including “Don’t Stop Believin,” We Built This City,” “The Final Countdown,” “Here We Go Again” and much more. Set on infamous Sunset Strip in 1987, Rock of Ages tells the story of a boy from south Detroit and a small-town girl, both in Los Angeles chasing their dreams of making it big and falling in love. Get ready to experience the smash hit exclusively at sea aboard Norwegian Breakaway.
