Key highlights include the addition of Spice H2O which is the adults-only outdoor lounge, The Haven by Norwegian® Suites, and the introduction of the Mediterranean-specialty restaurant – Palomar.
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) announces that Norwegian Encore will undergo extensive updates to deliver more elevated onboard guest experiences including a brand-new Spice H2O; the expansion of two popular dining venues, Cagney’s Steakhouse and Teppanyaki; redesigned suites in The Haven by Norwegian®; and 24 new balcony staterooms.
Following Norwegian Encore’s two-week dry dock from Nov. 18, 2024 to Dec. 2, 2024, guests will have the opportunity to indulge in a new Spice H2O, the adults-only, complimentary outdoor area tucked away from the main pool deck. Replacing the laser tag arena, the lounge will feature a new design and elevated layout from NCL’s longtime design partners, Studio Dado, by combining the amenities of Spice H2O from the Breakaway-Plus Class with those from Infinity Beach of the latest Prima Class vessels.
The enhancements will also include the expansion of two specialty dining restaurants – Cagney’s Steakhouse, and Teppanyaki. Additionally, Ocean Blue will be converted to the guest-favorite Palomar, boasting elevated Mediterranean seafood cuisine.
“Our guests’ wants and needs are at the forefront of every decision that we make, and enhancing Norwegian Encore with more of the experiences they value showcases our commitment to just that,” said David J. Herrera, President of Norwegian Cruise Line. “From more space for adults to relax, to more opportunities to enjoy their favorite dining options and beyond, we are dedicated to providing our guests with an elevated onboard experience as part of their dream vacation.”
Resulting in the growing demand for the three-bedroom suites aboard Norwegian Prima®, Norwegian Viva® and Norwegian Joy®, Norwegian Encore’s Premier Owner’s Suites with a Large Balcony in The Haven by Norwegian® will be expanded from two bedrooms to three. Additionally, these two suites will include three and a half bathrooms; a fully renovated living room, master bedroom and outdoor balcony furniture; and a new separate dining room.
Similar to the recent refurbishment on Norwegian Joy earlier this year, Norwegian Encore will also debut from its dry dock with an additional 24 new balcony staterooms and two club balcony staterooms by repurposing a portion of the ship’s Observation Lounge.
