First Look - NCL's Newest Ship Norwegian Getaway

On February 1, 2014, NCL's newest ship Norwegian Getaway will set sail from Miami

Norwegian Getaway will sail seven-day cruises from Miami to the Eastern Caribbean with ports of call including Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Nassau, Bahamas. 

Unparalleled magical entertainment experience called The Illusionarium will offer 12 performances per cruise, two shows per night

The Illusionarium is unlike any other entertainment experience at sea as it will transport guests in to fascinating world of magic and illusions by world-class magicians and feature supernatural special effects, with the centerpiece being a 30’ diameter video dome that will transport audiences to mystical places.

Fireworks Light Up the Night

Adding to the ship's excitement, Norwegian Getaway will also feature a dazzling display of fireworks on every cruise. 

As guests dance the night away under the stars in the open-air Spice H20 venue at the aft of the ship, a mesmerizing color-filled fireworks show will light up the night sky, right above the ship. The fully-produced show is a visual masterpiece that is set to music, creating an incredible finale to the cruise.

Aqua Park

The Aqua Park is one of Norwegian's biggest and features five multi-story water slides. 

Norwegian Getaway and her sister ship, Norwegian Breakaway, are the first cruise ships to feature the Free Fall - two side-by-side slides where guests will stand up and have the floor drop from underneath, propelling them into a thrilling loop. 

Offering another first with a twist are two additional side-by-side twister slides called The Whip delivering an unforgettable adrenaline rush as you plunge on a spiral race to the finish line. For those who prefer a more relaxing ride, there is a family-friendly open-flume body slide. The Aqua Park also features two swimming pools, four hot tubs and a semi-open air eatery.

Sports Complex

The three-story sports complex will feature a multi-level elevated ropes course that will challenge guests to more than 40 different elements, including a zip track. 

For a thrill like no other, guests will confront The Plank, a platform that extends eight feet over the side of the ship. Those who choose to test their courage on The Plank will be rewarded by having their photo taken after conquering this heart-pounding, yet breathtaking, feat. 

Kids will be challenged as well with a special ropes course just for them. In another first for the line, the nine-hole ocean-themed miniature golf course is located beneath the ropes course, offering family fun with friendly competition. A rock climbing wall, bungee trampoline and spider web, a 24-foot enclosed climbing cage complete with a spiral slide, round out the activities.
