Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Jade sailed into her seasonal homeport of Tampa as an essentially new vessel yesterday morning, following a three week dry dock where she received enhancements to every part of the on board experience, from two brand new restaurants and two new bars and lounges, updated design and décor in many public spaces, and a refurbishment of all staterooms. 

Norwegian Jade’s extensive renovation is a part of The Norwegian Edge, an investment programme that sets a high standard of excellence encompassing the entire guest experience across Norwegian’s fleet.

Norwegian Jade’s extensive enhancements come just in time for her highly anticipated summer season, the brand’s first ever complete season sailing from Southampton in to the Norwegian Fjords, with embarkation also available from Hamburg, Germany.

Norwegian Jade guests can now enjoy two new restaurants, O’Sheehan’s Bar & Grill and The Pit Stop, as well as redesigned spaces in many of the ship’s existing restaurants. The Pit Stop, a newly installed concept for Norwegian Jade, will serve up poolside fun and fare in a 1950s-style American diner atmosphere.

Those looking to dance the night away aboard Norwegian Jade can now do so in the chic new Bliss Ultra Lounge on deck seven, which has the feel of an upscale Miami nightclub. Guests who wish to indulge in  an exotic cocktail can enjoy their favourite mojito, or opt for a flight and try them all, at the new Sugarcane Mojito Bar on deck 13.

Norwegian Jade is currently sailing the final part of her winter season, cruising from Tampa to the Western Caribbean. On 30 April she will journey across the Atlantic to her summer homeports of Southampton and Hamburg, where she’ll sail the Norwegian Fjords as well as Norway & North Cape itineraries.
