Featuring a mythical red phoenix and vivid ocean waves, Norwegian Joy’s striking and vibrant hull art will announce its appearance on the West Coast with aplomb.  Originally built to sail full time in Asian waters, Norwegian Cruise Line is now offering the Joy for year-round sailings to Alaska, the Mexican Riviera, the Pacific Coast, and the Panama Canal starting in April 2019.<\/p>\n

Before taking on the new itineraries, Norwegian Joy will undergo $50 million in upgrades. Sister ship to Norwegian Bliss and built in 2017, Norwegian Joy has a guest capacity of 3,802 passengers and offers several decks full of amazing shops, restaurants, and entertainment.<\/p>\n

Norwegian Joy offers some of the coolest features at sea.<\/h2>\n

Hugging the stern, you will find an onboard two-level race track featuring hairpin turns, a pit lane, viewing platform, floodlights and a timing system to track your skill.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Pavilion Virtual Reality Pavilion will blow your mind with an entire interactive video wall where you can find yourself driving a Star Wars ship or hang-gliding down a waterfall.<\/p>\n

\"Norwegian<\/p>\n

An outdoor promenade, The Waterfront, offers an enticing quarter-mile of restaurants and bars where you can meander and take in the ocean views. Ocean-side dine at La Cucina or just relax in the Humidor Cigar Lounge.<\/p>\n

Unique to Norwegian Joy, Concierge Staterooms are a perfect fit for families.<\/h3>\n

Upscale amenities range from Concierge Family Inside cabins with two bedrooms and a virtual balcony to Concierge Penthouse and Villa Suites with actual balconies.  And, you’ll also have private Concierge access, making your planning onboard a breeze.<\/p>\n
