About the Breakaway Plus Class

Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore are the largest ships Norwegian built before the Prima class and feature the most ambitious activity lineup in the fleet at their time of launch. The go-kart track on the top deck was a first for any North American cruise ship. The outdoor laser tag arena, the largest at sea, added another unique attraction. Both ships feature full Broadway shows, extensive specialty dining, and The Haven luxury enclave. Norwegian Bliss in Alaska from Seattle is one of the most sought-after sailings in the Norwegian fleet and arguably the best way to experience Alaska by sea.
