Introducing our latest expression of Freestyle Cruising, Norwegian Breakaway. Norwegian Breakaway is a cruise ship under construction for Norwegian Cruise Lines, scheduled for delivery in April 2013. Construction of Norwegian Breakaway began on 21 September 2011, when the first piece of steel was cut at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.

Her design will offer the best of our current fleet while infusing a variety of new innovations to create the best vacation ever. And, with round-trip sailings to Bermuda, the exhilaration of Freestyle Cruising from New York will reach an all-time high. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements to come leading up to her launch in April 2013. Prepare to Breakaway.


Special facilities

Ice Bar
           Norwegian Breakaway will offer a true Ice Bar on board, which will be kept at 17 degrees Fahrenheit and will feature ice sculptures of the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty and the Chrysler Building to pay homage to New York City, the ship’s year-round homeport. The Ice Bar will also feature New York City-inspired specialty cocktails.

Aqua Park
                 Seventeen decks above the sea, wind in your hair, sun on your back, ocean views all around, and before you – a stellar selection of liquid delights: five multi-story waterslides, two swimming pools, four hot tubs...more water than ever before. It’s a proverbial smorgasbord of aquatic opportunities. For a twisted thrill, the Whip is two racing, side-by-side twister slides that deliver one unforgettable rush. Or, try the Free Fall - one of two drop-slides that rapidly plunge you into fun, feet first. It’s the fastest water slide at sea!

Three-Story Sports Complex
                                                    Our Sports Complex provides three stories of action-packed activities including two new additions that will test your skills like never before. Challenge yourself with our new, largest-at-sea ropes course where you can conquer over 40 elements as you masterfully maneuver through this multi-level structure. For the ultimate thrill, confront The Plank that extends 8 feet over the side of the ship. Cameras capture your conquering moment. Our ocean-themed, mini golf course is where the young and young-at-heart can go for par on nine different holes. With obstacles for all skill levels, everyone can perfect their putt.

Our Cakes Are Boss
                                      Master Baker Buddy Valastro, star of the popular TLC television series "Cake Boss" and "Next Great Baker," will open an extension of his family business, Carlo's Bake Shop on Norwegian Breakaway. Featuring all of the delicious treats and confections that the original bakery is known for, Carlo's Bake Shop will also give guests the opportunity to pre-order custom specialty cakes for celebrations such as birthdays and anniversaries. For a challenging and fun experience, Carlo's will offer cupcake decorating classes, where guests can learn some of Valastro's tricks of the trade.

Casino
            Be a part of the excitement. Test your luck in one of the largest Casinos At Sea or play favorites like Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Texas Hold 'Em and Poker. With all your favorite table games and slots, it's easy to see why Norwegian has been rated the "Best Cruise Line Casino" of any cruise line for ten years running by the readers of Casino Player magazine and "Best Cruise Line Casino" by Porthole magazine.
