Your floating resort

Norwegian Joy shares many of the same features and facilities as here hugely successful sister ship, Norwegian Bliss. She's perfect for families, offering an unarguably generous array of things to do and places to eat onboard, as well as having several quiet spots for couples and single travellers to relax.

This beautiful and classy ship was built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, and was designed for improved energy efficiency to meet Alaska's environmental regulations. Although she was initially purpose built for the Chinese market and has been sailing in China full time, she is due to relocate to the United States, next year in 2019.

Service

Superb telephone conversation with Nickie. A lovely bloke that even laughed at my terrible humour whilst also finding me a cruise almost £100 cheaper than other operators. No long 'hold' queues or automated responses etc. Just a good proper human being helping arrange EVERYTHING in...

Mr Paul Cummings-22 September 2026

Booking was a piece of cake!

Rang up to query a few items and got a very nice lady who was extremely helpful and guided me through the process and I made a booking for end November. Very happy and a reasonable price as well.

Cruise Nation never fail to deliver a great deal.

Kerry was magnificent, very patient and super positive about finding me a deal that met my requirements. Took a couple of hours over two days but she delivered. Very happy with her commitment, especially on a Sunday morning
