Norwegian Encore

Welcome Aboard Norwegian Encore

Introducing Norwegian Encore, a stunning addition to the Breakaway Plus class that brings excitement and comfort to every guest. We’re thrilled to share this ship with you because it perfectly captures that sense of freedom NCL is known for, offering a vast array of activities in a modern, stylish setting. Whether you’re looking for high-octane thrills or quiet corners to watch the world go by, you’ll find that everything feels thoughtfully designed to make your time at sea feel effortless and full of possibility.

The Atmosphere

You’ll notice that the mood on board is energetic, bright, and welcoming. It’s a space where you can be exactly who you want to be, whether that means spending your day lounging by an infinity pool, challenging your friends to a go-kart race, or enjoying a quiet cocktail as the sun sets. We find the layout strikes a great balance between lively public areas and peaceful retreats, ensuring the ship never feels overwhelming, even when it’s bustling with activity. It’s a place that invites you to be as active or as relaxed as the day dictates.

Elevated Experiences

For those of you looking for a more exclusive escape, The Haven provides a private, luxurious sanctuary hidden away from the rest of the action. This ship-within-a-ship concept offers you the best of both worlds: access to all the excitement of a large ship while enjoying a quiet, high-end environment. You’ll have the honour of personal butler and concierge services, a private courtyard with a pool, and access to an exclusive sundeck, making your holiday feel truly special and refined from the moment you step on board.

Signature Highlights

• The Encore Speedway offers a multi-level go-kart track, giving you a chance to race around hair-pin turns right out over the side of the ocean.

• The Observation Lounge provides stunning, panoramic views that allow you to take in the beauty of your destination, regardless of the weather.

• Spice H2O is our favourite adults-only escape, featuring infinity pools, hot tubs, and a refreshing atmosphere for those seeking some quiet time.

• Culinary excellence is front and centre, with diverse options ranging from the Italian flavours at Onda by Scarpetta to the premium cuts at Cagney’s Steakhouse.

• High-calibre entertainment, such as The Choir of Man, ensures you’re always treated to world-class performances that are genuinely captivating.

What Stands Out

What really makes this ship special is how it manages to make a large, feature-packed environment feel so accessible and fun. We recommend it because it genuinely caters to so many different interests, all without forcing you to follow a rigid schedule. It’s the kind of ship where you can start your day with a thrill, enjoy a world-class meal, and finish with a Broadway-calibre show, all while feeling completely at home. You’re not just booking a trip, you’re choosing an experience that is built to keep you smiling, day after day.

Who Is This Ship For

Norwegian Encore is the perfect choice for active couples, energetic families, and groups of friends who want a holiday filled with variety and choice. Because of the sheer amount of options on board, it’s a natural fit for those who value the flexibility to craft their own daily schedule. If you’re the type of person who loves trying new restaurants, enjoys high-energy entertainment, and appreciates having both vibrant social spaces and private areas to recharge, you’re going to have an incredible time here.

How We Rate Norwegian Encore

The Cruise Advisor gives Norwegian Encore a 5 out of 6. We rate it highly because of the incredible variety it offers, the quality of its specialty dining, and the brilliant inclusion of The Haven for those seeking extra luxury. It earns its place as a standout experience, though it misses a perfect score only because the sheer volume of activities can sometimes make the main decks feel a bit busy during peak times. However, for travellers who enjoy a dynamic, modern atmosphere, it’s hard to beat. We recommend this ship to anyone who wants a cruise that feels like a floating resort with endless things to see and do.
