From studio cabins designed for solo travelers to The Haven luxury suites with butler service, Norwegian offers something for everyone.

Good to Know

This large ship offers plenty of space to explore. Download the cruise line's app before boarding for easy navigation and reservations. Consider a drink package or specialty dining package if you plan to dine outside the complimentary venues regularly.

"Our experience on Norwegian Breakaway was absolutely incredible. The ship is beautiful and well-maintained, and the ports of call were amazing. We booked all our excursions through Vacation Booker and saved a fortune compared to the cruise line prices."

"This was our third cruise on Norwegian Breakaway and it never disappoints. The staff is wonderful and the itinerary was perfect. We used Vacation Booker for a private snorkeling tour that was the highlight of the entire trip."
