Cruise from New York to Bermuda

Norwegian loves the Big Apple! Norwegian has had a long-standing commitment to New York and now we are bringing our newest ship there year-round! In the summer of 2013, the ship will sail to beautiful pink sand beaches of Bermuda. We'll dock at King's Wharf for three days, giving you the freedom to explore the beaches, golf courses, restaurants, shops and history at your leisure, and you'll have three relaxing days at sea to enjoy all the incredible amenities of this world-class ship.

Peter Max

Pop icon and America's most popular living artist, Peter Max, has been commissioned to paint the signature hull artwork for Norwegian Breakaway. This is the first time Norwegian has asked a well-known artist to paint the hull artwork on one of its ships.
