Norwegian Cruise Lines has been killing it lately, haven’t they? There can be no doubt that they’ve truly carved out a space as one of the top cruise lines in the world, and the Norwegian Breakaway stands as a testament to this. From all the fun you can have up on deck to all the fun you can have below decks, the Breakaway is a ship that’s ready to deliver a memorable vacation to you and yours.
Naturally, you’ll find the things that you’ve come to expect from NCL on the Breakaway. For example, you’ll find some amazing water slides up on deck as well as a challenging ropes course. But, there’s other things that really give the Breakaway a character all of its own. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it was like to dine at a classic New York City supper club, then you can check out the Manhattan Club. Or, if you need to relax, then you can pay a visit to the ship’s world-class spa.
What follows are 30 stunning photos from the Norwegian Breakaway that prove why it’s one of the best ships in NCL’s line. Once you see how luxurious the accommodations can be if you opt for an Owner’s Suite, which you’ll find at #24… Well, book away, because it will be money well spent!
