Description

The Norwegian Encore is a ship in the Breakaway-plus class that was added to the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet in October 2019. Just like its twin ships, it is characterized not only for the Freestyle formula, but also for its many attractions on board and the vast choice of restaurants. From the go-kart, with hairpin turns that wind out over the sea, to the Galaxy Pavilion, you are guaranteed to never be bored. The Norwegian Encore is also a ship that offers elegance and quiet areas where you can enjoy the sea and the cozy atmosphere.
The Haven represents the ideal choice for those who prefer even more discretion and luxury service. The large area dedicated to children and teens makes the Norwegian Encore the ideal ship for families as well. The choice of restaurants is impressive, from the most refined such as Onda by Scarpetta to the most informal and fun like the American Diner. It is a dynamic, enticing and fun ship, where anyone can feel at ease.

Atlantic to Pacific - relocation cruise

I liked

Excellent embarkation and disembarkation. Good Variety of restaurants and amazing theatre with plenty shows & events.

I didn't like

The excursions sell out fast and they dont add on more spaces if required.

Comment

A awesome relocation cruise with variety of ports and very visual entertainment team and excellent cruise director. Variety of shows and entertainment on a full ship of 4900 nobody missed out on anything. Only issue is repetative menus everyday in MDR. Excellent customer service

Awesome ship the Norwegian Encore!

The Norwegian Encore is an extraordinary ship. It was our first experience with NCL and I have to say that we will certainly cruise with them again. Tons of entertainment, beautiful spaces, so many things to do. A wide selection of restaurants for all tastes and with flexible hours. The kids also had a great time, always together with their friends and the entertainment staff. We had an outside cabin with a balcony: not very large but very clean and quite comfortable. I would certainly recommend the Norwegian Encore to everyone.

Spettacolare Norwegian Encore

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

Norwegian Encore è una nave straordinaria. Era la nostra prima esperienza su NCL e devo dire che sicuramente ci torneremo. Grande intrattenimento, locali bellissimi, tante cose da fare. Ampia la scelta dei ristoranti, per tutti i gusti e con orari flessibili. I ragazzi sono stati altrettanto bene, sempre insieme ad amici e ai bravi animatori. La nostra cabina era un’esterna con balcone: non molto grande ma sempre pulita perfettamente e piuttosto confortevole. Sicuramente consiglierei Norwegian Encore a tutti.

A very nice cruise ship the latest in the NCL fleet. We enjoyed a week in the Caribbean, with lot of fun, good meals and beautiful weather. I really recommend this class of cruise ships.

Entusiasmante

I liked

Nave Dinamica

I didn't like

Difficoltà a trovare un bar aperto al mattino

Comment

Nave rivolta ad un pubblico giovane,dinamica e piena di novità...dalla pista di go-kart,giochi interattivi e una grande varietà di ristoranti per concludere con un buon caffè da starbuck's;l'unica pecca è stata la difficoltà di trovare bar aperti al mattino per un buon cappuccino!comunque..la consiglio!

Non solo Freestyle...

I liked

Offerta gastronomica

I didn't like

Scomodo dover prenotare il Teatro

Comment

Norwegian Encore mi ha colpito per la sua capacità di coniugare divertimento, stravaganza e innovazione con ambienti eleganti, accoglienti e anche intimi e riservati. Ottima scelta gastronomica, qualità del servizio, musica e teatro di alto livello.
