At 169,116 gross tons and 1,094 feet long, she is the largest ship in the Norwegian fleet from this class and accommodates 3,998 passengers at double occupancy. Norwegian Encore features the longest go-kart racetrack at sea, a two-level Speedway spanning 1,148 feet with 10 turns winding around the top deck. The ship offers the Galaxy Pavilion with cutting-edge virtual reality experiences, an open-air laser tag arena, and the Aqua Park with two multi-story waterslides. The signature Waterfront promenade provides an al fresco boardwalk lined with specialty dining and bars.
