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.
