About Norwegian Getaway

Norwegian Getaway is the second Breakaway Class ship, delivered by Meyer Werft in January 2014 and christened in Miami by the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders, with a David Le Batard hull mural of a mermaid. At 145,655 gross tons and 1,068 feet it carries 3,903 guests at double occupancy with a crew of 1,646, and it was refreshed in 2024. The ship introduced The Waterfront, an oceanfront promenade on deck 8 lined with restaurants and bars, and 678 Ocean Place connecting three decks of nightlife.

The top deck holds the Free Fall and The Whip waterslides, a sports complex with a ropes course and The Plank walkway over the ship’s side, mini golf and the adults-only Vibe Beach Club and Spice H2O. Entertainment includes the Fleetwood Mac tribute Rumours, Syd Norman’s Pour House live rock, game shows and a ’90s party show. Dining includes the Tropicana Room, Taste, Savor, the Garden Café and 24-hour O’Sheehan’s at no charge, plus Cagney’s, Le Bistro, La Cucina, Moderno Churrascaria, Teppanyaki and Ocean Blue.

In 2026 Norwegian Getaway sails three and four day Bahamas cruises from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau, then moves to Port Canaveral in November 2026 for Bahamas and Caribbean cruises through April 2027, including seven-night holiday sailings. Spring and summer 2027 continue three to five day Bahamas and Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral, and from November 2027 it sails seven-day Western Caribbean cruises from New Orleans every Sunday to Cozumel, Roatan and Harvest Caye.
