Norwegian Encore will be dry-docking for two-weeks over November and December and will emerge with a range of upgrades and enhancements across the ship.

New changes will include a new Spice H20, expanded dining venues, the redesign of some suites and 24 new balcony staterooms.

The ship will go into dry dock on November 18 this year until December 2.

David J. Herrera, President of Norwegian Cruise Line said: “Our guests’ wants and needs are at the forefront of every decision that we make, and enhancing Norwegian Encore with more of the experiences they value showcases our commitment to just that.

“From more space for adults to relax, to more opportunities to enjoy their favorite dining options and beyond, we are dedicated to providing our guests with an elevated onboard experience as part of their dream vacation.”

What changes to expect?

Spice H20, an adults-only outdoor area will be taking over the laser tag arena, to include provide a getaway for those seeking some peace and quiet onboard. Within the vicinity cruisers will find multiple hot tubs, day beds, cooling pools and a bar.

Two of the most popular NCL specialty dining venues, Cagney’s Steakhouse and Teppanyaki will be expanded, to allow for more seating and make it easier for guests to grab a table at their favourite restaurants.

Furthermore, NCL reports it has been seeing for demand for three-bedroom suits across its fleet. With this in mind, Norwegian Encore’s premier owner’s suites will be expanded from two bedrooms to three. Also within the suite will be three-and-a-half bedrooms, a fully renovated living room, master bedroom and outdoor balcony furniture.

Norwegian Encore will also emerge from dry dock with 24 new balcony statements and two club balcony staterooms.
