Norwegian Cruise Line has announced significant renovations for Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Breakaway, scheduled for early 2025. Both ships will receive a new outdoor recreational space called Horizon Park, featuring lawn games, loungers and ocean views.

Norwegian Bliss will undergo a dry dock from January 17 to February 2, 2025. The renovation will expand The Haven's Premiere Owner's Suites to include three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths and a separate dining room. The ship will also add 26 new staterooms by converting part of the Observation Lounge. Dining changes include expanding Cagney's Steakhouse and Teppanyaki, while adding Palomar, the seafood restaurant that debuted on Norwegian Prima in 2022.

"At Norwegian Cruise Line, our guests and what they value most is critical in order for us to develop experiences," said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. "Our goal is to provide them their very own best vacation."

Norwegian Breakaway's renovations will take place from February 19 to March 14, 2025. The ship will introduce Silver Screen Bistro, replacing the Spiegel Tent, featuring oversized recliners and a menu of shareable items from Food Republic. The ship will also add The Stadium for outdoor activities and expand both the Vibe Beach Club and The Haven Sundeck.

Post-renovation, Norwegian Bliss will sail from Southampton to Miami before operating Western Caribbean, Mexican Riviera and Alaska itineraries. Norwegian Breakaway will offer Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona and Venice (Trieste), visiting ports including Florence/Pisa, Palma, Cannes and Corfu.

Both ships' renovations were designed in collaboration with firms including SMC Design, Conductr and Studio DADO.
