Norwegian Encore

Norwegian Cruise Line has done it again with the all-new Norwegian Encore. Sailing in the fall of 2019 from the sunny shores of Miami, Encore is the latest addition to Norwegian's fleet of Breakaway-Plus cruise ships. This cutting-edge ship is filled with action-packed activities for the whole family: Put the pedal to the metal on the Formula 1 race track, bank the curves of the high-speed Aqua Racer waterslide, eliminate the competition on the Atlantis-inspired laser tag course, or spend hours playing virtual reality games in the Galaxy Pavilion.

If you enjoy Broadway shows and live music, Norwegian Encore's entertainment won't disappoint. With three onboard shows, including the Tony-winning musical Kinky Boots, the fringe-fest favorite Choir of Man, and Happy Hour Prohibition: The Musical, you can catch a different performance every night. The ship's restaurants are equally diverse. Keep it casual with a visit to the buffet or main dining rooms, or treat yourself to an exquisite meal from Ocean Blue or The Chef's Table. If you plan on enjoying the nightlife during your cruise, there are plenty of adult-friendly hangouts onboard. Enjoy a chilled rosé in The Cellars, an ice-cold cocktail from the Sugarcane Mojito Bar, or a comfortable chair in the Observation Lounge as you watch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea.

For its debut season, Norwegian Encore itineraries depart from Miami and Bayonne. New Jersey departures visit Bermuda, the Bahamas, and destinations across New England and Nova Scotia. Florida itineraries visit ports of call in the eastern and western Caribbean, including Panama, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Norwegian's private Harvest Caye resort in Belize. Travelers may also book transatlantic journeys between New York and England's storied Southampton port for the ultimate at-sea cruise vacation.
