About Norwegian Encore
Norwegian Encore is the fourth and final Breakaway-Plus class cruise ship from Norwegian Cruise Line, launched in November 2019 from Meyer Werft in Germany. 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. Encore was the first Norwegian ship to feature Onda by Scarpetta, an upscale Italian restaurant from the acclaimed New York City restaurant group. The Haven, NCL's luxury enclave, reaches new heights with a private lounge, pool, sundeck, and dedicated restaurant for suite guests. Entertainment includes the Tony Award-winning musical Kinky Boots performed in the main theater. Norwegian Encore sails seasonal Alaska itineraries from Seattle during summer and Caribbean voyages from Miami during winter, offering guests extraordinary experiences year-round.
