Get Ready for a Getaway

Jun 13, 2013

Currently under construction and scheduled to enter service in February 2014, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Getaway plans to offer something for every member of the family. The little ones can splash around in the Kid’s Aqua Park with its pirate theme and larger-than-life Nickelodeon characters from the world of Bikini Bottom. The ship will also offer the Splash Academy, its reinvented youth program that encourages children to let their imaginations run wild in a creative venue supervised by trained youth counselors. Teens need their space too, and they can kick back on Norwegian Getaway’s teen lounge with expanded activities and social events.

For the 2014 season, Norwegian Getaway will be sailing year-round from Miami on seven-day cruises to the Eastern Caribbean. www.getaway.ncl.com
