As the calendar year begins to wrap up, some of us at Norwegian have been reminiscing about the trailblazing year we’ve enjoyed. This was the year we welcomed Norwegian Bliss to the fleet, with the largest race track at sea. It was also the year we announced a brand new cruise terminal at PortMiami, and the first time a ship became one of Time’s “Word’s Greatest Places.” Of course, these are just a few of Norwegian’s trend-setting moments.

Even the best things in life occasionally require an upgrade, which is why Norwegian Cruise Line has decided to spruce up Norwegian Jewel. Built in 2005, this 965-foot-long ship has won numerous awards for its amenities and services, including being one of the Top 10 Best for First-Timers (Large Ship Category) from Cruise Critic in 2017. After its two-week renovation period for one of the most extensive renovations across the fleet in 2018, Norwegian Jewel is poised to earn even greater accolades. Here is everything you can expect on the newly polished Norwegian Jewel.

Happy Hour Prohibition - The Musical is a one-of-a-kind interactive experience that is exclusive to Norwegian Bliss and will soon be available on Norwegian Encore.
