Norwegian Breakaway
Designed as New York’s ship, Norwegian Breakaway brings the best of NYC

high-caliber dining
and entertainment options that New York is known for worldwide. The
ship’s groundbreaking design includes an open-air boardwalk, The
Waterfront, and 678 Ocean Place; a wide range of indoor and outdoor
venues on three dynamic decks that will create a whole
new complex at sea that enhances guests’ connection with the ocean.
Norwegian Breakaway’s entertainment includes three Broadway shows:
five-time Tony nominated ROCK OF AGES; the dance sensation BURN THE
FLOOR; and CIRQUE DREAMS & DINNER JUNGLE FANTASY. The
famed comedy troupe The Second City, Howl at the Moon dueling pianos,
and New York’s own Slam Allen also perform on the vessel. Norwegian
Breakaway features an exciting fireworks show on every cruise that will
dazzle guests on the second to last night at sea
each week, and is the grand finale of a decadent 1980s-themed deck
party.

restaurant at sea on Norwegian Breakaway: Ocean Blue by Geoffrey
Zakarian, along with two additional venues, The Raw Bar and Ocean Blue
on the Waterfront. Buddy Valastro, star of the TLC series “Cake Boss,”

onboard. The ship features a total of 27 dining options
on board and an Ice Bar, which is kept at 17 degrees Fahrenheit and
features New York City-inspired specialty cocktails, as well as ice
sculptures of the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty to pay homage to
New York City.

top decks of Norwegian Breakaway feature the first Aqua Park at sea
with five full-size water slides, including twin Free Fall slides, the
first
ever at sea, and a three-story sports complex that includes the largest
ropes course at sea, a nine-hole miniature golf course, basketball
