During the program, kids enjoy arts and crafts, games, movies and video games, with plenty to go around for everyone. And who knows… a special celebrity like Dora the Explorer or SpongeBob may make an appearance! The Nickelodeon characters randomly pop up throughout the cruise! Other themes include the Big Top at Sea, Tribes at Sea and Rumble in the Jungle. On the first day at sea, kids will enjoy Hollywood at Sea, which includes a red carpet, dress-up event after dinner. The supervised club, spread out on two decks connected by a set of stairs, is offered to children ages 3 to 12 in various age groups: Turtles, 3 to 5 Seals, 6 to 9 and Dolphins, 10 to 12. It feels as if the kid’s programs and decorations were a bit of an afterthought after all the splendor of the adult fun, which includes several bars, a gorgeous spa, and the SkyTrail.įor younger kids, the Splash Academy is Norwegian’s attempt at becoming more kid-friendly. The ship has partnered with Nickelodeon in its kid’s offerings, which are just okay (with the exception of the teen club, Entourage, which does a great job attracting hard-to-win-over teens).

The energy has yet to stop in weekly sailings from Manhattan to Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Caribbean, evident in all the ship has to offer: Broadway performances, more than two dozen restaurants, and more daily activities than you can imagine. The Rockettes will sail on the first sailing of every month to provide special fitness classes, photo ops, performances and meet-and-greets. The ship launched in May 2013 with the a performance by the Radio City Rockettes, the ship’s official godmothers, who literally kicked off the christening ceremonies. Even upon first impression, Breakaway announces its New York allegiance with a colorful painting on its hull, designed by New York’s famed Peter Max. Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship since 2010 (along with a twin ship, Getaway, launching in late 2013 and sailing out of Miami), Breakaway is a New York City-based ship offering a plethora of family fun, all with a Manhattan flair.
