| Norwegian Bliss’ big reveal

THE largest race track at sea and new dining concepts are among the features Norwegian Cruise Line has revealed will be on board its 16th ship, Norwegian Bliss.

The vessel will sail to Alaska and the Caribbean with select voyages to the Mexican Riviera from Jun.

In response to the popularity of the race track introduced on Norwegian Joy, NCL will also introduce a two level, 305m-long electric-car race track, the longest at sea (pictured above).

The ship will also feature an open-air laser tag course themed as an abandoned space station, two pools and six infinity hot tubs, and an Aqua Park with two multi-storey waterslides, one of which extends over the side of the ship.

Norwegian Bliss will introduce a Texas Smokehouse called Q (pictured below) and relaxed 24-hour pub fare dining at The Local.

Bliss will also feature Mexican restaurant Los Lobos, American-style Cagney’s Steakhouse, The A-List Bar, dessert venue Coco’s and more.

NCL president and ceo Andy Stuart declared the vessel “will no doubt be our most incredible ship to date”.

“We have elevated Norwegian Bliss’ on board experience to new heights, bringing the best features from across our fleet plus exciting new first-at-sea activities like the largest race track and new dining concepts to create the ultimate cruising experience,” he said.
