About Norwegian Bliss
Norwegian Bliss is the third Breakaway-Plus class cruise ship from Norwegian Cruise Line, launched in April 2018 from Meyer Werft in Germany. At 168,028 gross tons and 1,094 feet in length, she carries 4,004 passengers at double occupancy and was specifically designed with Alaska cruising in mind. Norwegian Bliss features an expansive Observation Lounge at the top of the ship with floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of glaciers, fjords, and wildlife perfect for Alaska's scenic passages. The ship introduced the competitive two-level electric go-kart Speedway racetrack, an open-air laser tag arena, and the Aqua Park with two multi-story waterslides. The Waterfront promenade and 678 Ocean Place provide extensive indoor and outdoor social spaces. Dining highlights include the Texas Smokehouse BBQ restaurant and the renowned Le Bistro French restaurant. Entertainment features the Broadway production of Jersey Boys in the main theater, making Bliss the first ship to stage this iconic musical. The Haven by Norwegian provides an exclusive retreat with the largest Haven complex of its time, including a private sundeck, pool, and dedicated restaurant. Norwegian Bliss sails Alaska itineraries from Seattle in summer and repositions to the Caribbean and Mexican Riviera for winter voyages.
