Norwegian Breakaway

Welcome Aboard Norwegian Breakaway

Introducing Norwegian Breakaway, a high-energy ship designed for those who appreciate freedom and a wide array of activities at sea. As a member of the Breakaway class, this ship offers a sprawling, modern environment that feels lively and packed with possibilities. It’s built for guests who want to balance relaxation with excitement, ensuring that every day can be tailored exactly to how you’re feeling.

The Atmosphere

The mood on board is consistently upbeat and informal, mirroring the brand's commitment to flexibility. You’ll find a bustling, energetic environment that encourages guests to explore at their own pace, whether that means lounging by a pool, enjoying a performance, or finding a quiet corner to watch the ocean. The design focuses on keeping guests connected to the water, particularly along the outdoor promenade, which helps maintain a bright and airy feel throughout your journey.

Elevated Experiences

For guests seeking a more refined and secluded retreat, The Haven provides a premium, ship-within-a-ship experience. This exclusive enclave is tucked away at the top of the ship, offering guests access to private amenities, including a serene courtyard and sundeck. You’ll also enjoy 24-hour butler service and a dedicated concierge, ensuring that your needs are anticipated while you maintain the privacy and quiet you deserve during your holiday.

Signature Highlights

• The Waterfront, a quarter-mile-long outdoor promenade that connects you directly to the sea with alfresco dining and lounges.

• A comprehensive culinary programme featuring specialty options such as Cagney's Steakhouse, Le Bistro for French fare, and Onda by Scarpetta for modern Italian cuisine.

• An impressive Sports Complex that includes a multi-level ropes course and the famous plank extending 8 feet over the side of the ship.

• A fully equipped Aqua Park featuring the Free Fall, which are among the fastest waterslides you’ll find on any ship.

• The Mandara Spa, which offers an extensive menu of treatments including a thermal suite and a dedicated salt room for ultimate relaxation.

What Stands Out

We recommend Norwegian Breakaway for its dedication to individual choice and its clever use of outdoor space. The Waterfront is a standout feature, as it successfully moves dining and socialising from the interior to the open air, allowing you to enjoy the ocean breeze during dinner or drinks. It’s an ideal choice because it doesn’t force you into a rigid schedule, giving you the power to shape your own days and evenings in a way that feels natural and stress-free.

Who Is This Ship For

Norwegian Breakaway is an excellent match for active families, groups of friends, and couples who prioritise a social, flexible holiday environment. It’s particularly well-suited for travellers who prefer a "freestyle" approach, where they can choose where and when to dine and how to spend their time without adhering to strict timelines. If you enjoy having a diverse range of entertainment, a lively nightlife, and plenty of opportunities for both thrill-seeking and relaxation, you’ll find this ship offers the perfect balance.

How We Rate Norwegian Breakaway

The Cruise Advisor gives Norwegian Breakaway a 4 out of 6. This rating reflects the ship's successful integration of modern amenities, a strong variety of dining options, and an atmosphere that truly prioritises guest freedom. It performs exceptionally well in offering diverse activities, particularly for those who appreciate a bustling, active environment. However, the sheer size and energy of the ship can sometimes mean that public areas feel quite busy, which may not suit those looking for a quiet, intimate getaway. Overall, it provides a consistent and high-quality experience that reliably delivers on its promise of a fun, flexible holiday. We recommend this ship to guests who want a reliable, energetic vacation with plenty of dining and entertainment options to keep every day exciting.
