The Breakaway Class Ships

  • Norwegian Getaway — Homeport: Miami. Launched 2014.

About the Breakaway Class

Norwegian Breakaway and Getaway introduced the Waterfront, a quarter-mile outdoor promenade wrapping around the ship’s lower decks lined with specialty restaurants and bars that open directly to the ocean. This concept transformed how guests experience the sea while dining and drinking, blurring the line between indoor specialty restaurants and the ocean view. Norwegian Breakaway departing from New York City is one of the most unique cruise embarkation experiences in the US, allowing New Yorkers to board a major cruise ship from Manhattan Pier 88 without flying to a port city.
