Setting Sail on the Norwegian Bliss
Transitioning from city energy to ocean relaxation is effortless. Guests board the magnificent Norwegian Bliss at Pier 80, gathering on deck for a classic New York farewell. As the ship glides down the Hudson River, past the Statue of Liberty and under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, the iconic Manhattan skyline fades into the horizon.
Days at sea offer the ideal balance of rest and leisure. Guests enjoy world-class dining options, spa facilities, poolside relaxation, and expansive ocean views. Collins Tours enhances the onboard experience with special group gatherings, including a private cocktail reception with light appetizers and open bar, along with curated group dinners in the ship’s main dining rooms. These shared moments offer a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow travelers while enjoying exceptional NCL freestyle hospitality.
