The Award-Winning Norwegian Breakaway Excites
The award-winning Norwegian Breakaway was voted Best New Ship by Cruise Critic, in addition to several other accolades. Amazing amenities, dining options, and activities keep guests of all ages happy.
Aboard the Norwegian Breakaway, take a leisurely stroll along the seaside promenade The Waterfront, dotted with scores of bars and restaurants. Whenever hunger strikes, choose from more than 25 dining experiences!
When you’re aboard the Norwegian Breakaway for the night, settle in with a terrific show, such as the Cirque Dreams & Dinner show, Rock of Ages, or Burn the Floor. Take the kids for ice cream or casual seafood take-out. Enjoy Japanese at Teppanyaki or succulent cuts at Brazilian steakhouse Moderno Churrascaria.
Plunge down Free Fall, the fastest drop slide at sea and one of five multistory waterslides. Or climb the rock wall or ropes at the Sports Complex. There’s always mini golf for less intense fun.

Mingle with new friends and enjoy live piano at Mixx, a modern classical, pre-dinner gathering place between two of the ship's most popular dining spots.

Bar 21
The sounds of the slot machines and cheers of the crowd at the neighboring casino won’t distract you from noticing this stunning, intimate bar. It could easily become your favorite haunt, especially late at night.

Bliss Ultra Lounge
Cruise into the clubbing scene at Bliss. Dance to a different beat and feel the excitement as you walk through the lit tunnel to the illuminated bar. It’s electric. Bliss is a top hot spot every night of the week.

Maltings Beer & Whiskey Bar
With a unique international variety of spirits and an impressive list of imported and domestic beers, you can sip your way around the world without leaving the comfort of your chair.

Café & Bar at the Atrium
Relax in the center of the hustle and bustle of the Atrium. Linger with cocktails or coffee in this grand space that offers three-deck vertical views and a two-story Wii wall.

Spice H20
Inspired by the renowned summer beach parties on the island of Ibiza, Spice H20 is an adult-only escape with contemporary Asian influences. By day, lounge beside hot tubs and a soothing waterfall; by night, it’s a whole different beat. Let loose and dance beneath the stars as vibrant images display on the huge video screen. Spice H20 will add pizzazz to your palate too, with its unique offerings of snacks and appetizers.

Prime Meridian Bar
Be the center of attention or just be in the center of it all at Prime Meridian Bar. Located between Cagney’s Steakhouse and Moderno Churrascaria, take a seat, order your favorite beverage and be a part of the action of 678 Ocean Place

Shaker's Cocktail Bar
Happy hour comes shaken or stirred at this classic martini bar with a twist. Join the martini crowd for some cosmopolitan ambiance or try the latest, modern concoction made to your liking.

The Second City
This is no ordinary comedy club. This is comedy with the renowned Second City. Delighting audiences for over 50 years, this comedy troupe is all about improvisational sketch comedy. New York Times calls them “a comedy empire.” It’s hard to argue considering some of their alumni include comedy greats Bill Murray, Joan Rivers, Robert Klein, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey and Jason Sudeikis, just to name a few. So pull up a chair, order a drink, and laugh the night away.

Fat Cats Jazz & Blues Club
Dark wood floors, exposed brick, and legends of decades past hanging on the walls. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel you’re in a swingin’ New York City jazz club. Keep an eye – and ear – open for New York blues star, Slam Allen, who will perform live on most nights. His unique blend of soul and blues is a style all his own. Whether you’re watching a five-piece performance inside or sitting outside on The Waterfront enjoying a drink, the ocean breeze and the cool sounds, this is the place for some of the best live jazz and blues music you’ll hear at sea

Casino
Test your luck in one of the largest casinos at sea. Play favorites like Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Texas Hold 'Em, and Poker. With all your favorite table games and slots, it's easy to see why Norwegian has been rated the "Best Cruise Line Casino" for ten years running by the readers of Casino Player magazine and "Best Cruise Line Casino" by Porthole magazine.

It’s an experience that should be savored and enjoyed at least once on your cruise.

Savor Restaurant
Savor, the newest Main Dining Room option is stunning in design, with colors like the setting sun over a deep blue sea. The cuisine is traditional with a contemporary flair.

Taste Restaurant
Destined to become a guest favorite, Taste is a Main Dining Room serving a variety of culinary delights to please every palate. With a menu that changes daily, you can enjoy a different culinary adventure with each visit to Taste. And with its close proximity to Savor, it’s easier than ever to navigate between Main Dining choices.

Teppanyaki
Flying shrimp. Onion volcanoes. Twirling knives. The sizzles and surprises never cease at this authentic Japanese hibachi restaurant. Sit around a lively shared table as a skillful chef slices, chops, and grills steak, chicken, and seafood on a large steel grill right before your eyes. The chilled, sake-infused Wasabi Cocktail will have you flipping, too.

The Manhattan Room
One of three Main Dining Rooms aboard Norwegian Breakaway, The Manhattan Room is designed like a private New York City supper club. This is a guest favorite with its expansive dance floor and panoramic ocean views from two-story, floor-to-ceiling windows. Stylish fixtures complement the ambiance.

Moderno Churrascaria
Norwegian was first to bring the signature Brazilian-style steakhouse dining concept to sea. Whether you dine indoors or out, your mouth will water as different grilled and slow-roasted meats are carved tableside by the pasadores. Start with the salad bar, where you will find a bountiful selection of freshly prepared salads, artisan cheeses, and more.

O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar & Grill
Serving up Irish/American classics in a relaxed, pub atmosphere, O’Sheehan’s is a guest favorite complete with billiards, darts, arcade games, televisions, and a giant two-story screen for sports and movies. The sport of people watching is popular, too.

Shanghai's Noodle Bar
When you crave a taste of the Orient, think Shanghai’s Noodle Bar. Sit at the counter and let the skilled chefs prepare authentic dim sum and fried rice as you watch. It’s more than delicious; it’s fun! Order your noodles prepared in a wok or cooked to perfection in a scrumptious broth with your choice of sauces and flavors

La Cucina Italian Restaurant
Prefer your pasta al dente in the main restaurant, outdoors on The Waterfront or would you like to dine Atrium Al Fresco-style? The menu at La Cucina’s is casual, family-style Italian, and the ambiance - including the courtyard - is inspired by Tuscany, complete with lanterns, timbers and stonework.

Dolce Gelato
Slow churned, dense, and intense in flavor, gelato is Italy's answer to ice cream, and it's the perfect accompaniment to a leisurely stroll of The Waterfront. Choose from a variety of flavors and drift off in sweet thoughts as you enjoy the ocean breeze.

Wasabi Sushi Bar
A traditional sushi bar complete with a Yakitori grill, Wasabi serves up a nice selection of popular sushi, sashimi and rolled favorites. In addition to your artfully prepared meal, you’ll find a unique contemporary décor that includes authentic calligraphy-lined walls and digital aquarium visuals that are displayed on an in-wall plasma screen

Uptown Bar & Grill
Come as you are to this casual, semi-open air eatery, even in your swimsuit. Located just off the Aqua Park and close to the teen area, the Uptown Bar & Grill is the ideal spot to grab a bite and get back to the action. Or stay for a while and enjoy some liquid refreshment.

Garden Café
Whatever you’re craving, chances are you will find it at the Garden Café buffet. In addition to a variety of entrées and side dishes, you’ll find made-to-order omelets and waffles, an Italian pasta station, a carving station with freshly prepared meats sliced to your liking, grilled specialties, ethnic favorites, and a dessert area lined with sweet surprises.

Carlo's Bake Shop
Master Baker Buddy Valastro, star of television's "Cake Boss," brings an extension of his family business, Carlo's Bake Shop, to the Norwegian Breakaway. Featuring all of the delicious treats and confections that the original bakery is known for, Carlo's Bake Shop will also give guests the opportunity to pre-order custom specialty cakes for celebrations onboard. Carlo's will also offer cupcake decorating classes, where guests can learn some of Valastro's tricks of the trade.

The Raw Bar
Right beside Ocean Blue by Geoffrey Zakarian is The Raw Bar, Zakarian's take on the perfect meal: oysters and a glass of wine. Offering fresh crustaceans, crudos, shellfish, and extensive wines by the glass, this bar allows guests to pull up a seat and enjoy the best the ocean has to offer.
