Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship accommodates multiple generations in more ways than one.
Traveling can be lots of fun…but when it also offers the opportunity to build connection? That’s priceless. Norwegian Cruise Line’s new ship, Norwegian Bella, is the final jewel in its Prima Class crown, ready to whisk families away on the trip of a lifetime. Get ready to connect with your loved ones on a ship designed to bring people together at every possible opportunity.
Fun & Relaxation Without Compromise
Why choose between excitement and relaxation when you don’t have to? Norwegian Bella empowers cruisers to experience togetherness without any trade-offs. If you’ve cruised with Norwegian before, you’ve come to expect an intentional, elevated, and effortless experience that is unmatched. On Norwegian Bella, you can expect all this and more. Kids, teens, and adults are encouraged to do their own thing for as long as they want before coming together to share meals, celebrations, and certain activities.
Destination: Ocean Heights
Dedicated spaces for fun, games, and relaxing make Norwegian Bella perfect for every generation. Teens craving some freedom? There are designated spots just for them. Parents want to sip cocktails with a view? No problem at all. Grandparents eager to relax? Tell them to kick up their feet!
Make your way to Ocean Heights where a world of endless possibilities awaits. This multi-level, open-air destination combines active play, relaxation, and social connection in one welcoming, expansive spot. Kids with energy to burn will want multiple trips down Ocean Heights’ three waterslides: Eclipse Racers, Bella Free Fall, and The Wave. There’s also a rock wall, the Bella Ropes Course, mini golf, a dry slide, and the Bella Midway for active kids, teens, and adults to satisfy the urge to play.
“Dedicated spaces for fun, games, and relaxing make Norwegian Bella perfect for every generation.”
Family members who’d rather be spectators can feel part of the action in outdoor lounging and seating areas, an outdoor bar, and overhanging cabanas. All vacation styles are encouraged to coexist in this immersive space where relaxers can take in the view, gamers can play, and connoisseurs can sip in style.
The Kids (And Parents) Are All Right
Children of all ages are supported on Norwegian Bella, so there’s never a dull moment for them (and plenty of time to unwind for parents). Dedicated youth spaces like Little Explorers’ Cove (a play area for kids ages 2 to 6), Adventure Alley (a vibrant climbing and play zone for kids ages 6 to 10), and Teen Hangout serve every stage of childhood, providing exactly what each age group needs to feel empowered to be themselves. For those who want to just chill, there are plenty of spaces and opportunities for letting your hair down. Horizon Park offers outdoor seating and lawn games on the top deck; Enhanced Infinity Beaches feature infinity pools, daybeds, and chaise lounges galore; Vibe Beach Club includes additional sun loungers and plush daybeds for ultimate relaxation. Reconnecting becomes easier and more organic after everyone has spent some time on their own.
It’s All By Design
Norwegian Bella is truly a gem, with multifaceted aspects to its brilliance. It even looks like a jewel with the original, lusciously colorful art by George Rose splashed across its hull. But she’s not all style and no substance. Norwegian Bella was intentionally designed with spaces that effortlessly transition from day to night through changing displays, projection experiences, music, and atmosphere. Its open-air spaces serve to make guests feel strongly connected not only to the ocean itself but also to one another. Thus, every family and group gathering is bestowed with a sense of occasion and gravitas, whether the celebrations are meticulously planned or completely spontaneous.
