Meet the Norwegian Luna

By -

 Norwegian Cruise Line’s second Prima Plus Class ship, the Norwegian Luna, is now on the waves. Christened in March, Luna has a maximum capacity of about 4,200 passengers and a modern, boutique-hotel vibe. While Luna has a lot in common with the Norwegian Aqua, the ship also has some unique features, beginning with the hull art: a sophisticated dreamscape by muralist ELLE, who is Luna’s godparent.

Luna’s cabins are another design highlight, with sleek furnishings that contribute to a spacious feel. There’s good storage, including full-length closets, wire basket drawers, deep shelves and convenient wall hooks. And while the thoughtfully designed bathrooms are still compact, they are a little more spacious than on other Norwegian ships.

For solo cruisers, Luna has more than 70 studio staterooms specifically designed for one. They come with keycard access to the Studio Lounge, which offers beverages, snacks, and the opportunity to chat with other solo travelers.

Luna also has the Norwegian fleet’s largest Haven complex, the line’s luxury ship-within-a-ship concept. There are more than 120 Haven suites with access to an exclusive sundeck, infinity pool, lounge, restaurant, and more.

Like the Aqua, Luna’s dining options include complimentary venues and specialty restaurants, with established favorites like Cagney’s Steakhouse, Le Bistro and Hasuki. Luna also highlights the delicious flavors of Thai cuisine in its Sukhothai restaurant (a Prima Plus Class exclusive). And, Luna’s Indulge Food Hall has the line’s first plant-based eatery, Planterie, featuring healthy salads, grain bowls and smoothies.

In addition to the Game Zone arcade, Luna features the Luna Midway, a collection of carnival-style games. There’s also a new, harness-free ropes and climbing course called the Moon Climber (don’t worry, there are plenty of safety nets). And – as on the Aqua – the Luna’s Slidecoaster, a thrilling hybrid rollercoaster/water slide, ends near a walk-in dryer that can take you from soaked to dry in three minutes.

The new ship also features new evening entertainment. Elton – A Celebration of Elton John is a treat for the ears and eyes, with four grand pianos and terrific costumes. HIKO: Innovation Meets Wonder is a multi-sensory experience with lasers, pyrotechnics, and acrobatics. And, the LunaTique Pop Circus is a sexy, cabaret-style show just for adults.

There’s much more to the Norwegian Luna, so talk with Anita, your professional travel advisor, about sailing to the Bahamas, to the Eastern or Western Caribbean, or to Bermuda on this new ship.

Window or No Window?

By -
Planning your next cruise involves making some important choices, including whether to choose a cabin with a window or without a window. Here are some considerations that can help you decide. Cabins without windows (called interior or inside cabins) don’t have exterior walls, so there’s no opportunity for a sea view. But that doesn’t mean these cabins are always dark; cruise ship designers use lighting to make the inside cabins bright and welcoming. If you expect to use it just for sleeping and showering, an inside cabin can be a good choice: they are usually the lowest-priced cabins on the ship. Amazingly, some ships use technology to equip inside cabins with exterior views. Inside cabins on some Disney Cruise Line ships have “magic portholes,” which are small screens built into the walls and linked to exterior cameras. Inside cabins on some Royal Caribbean Cruise Line ships have “virtual balconies,” which are floor-to-ceiling LED screens that also show real-time views from outsi...

Late Nights and Overnights in Port

By -
If you love cruising but sometimes wish you could stay longer in port, talk with your professional travel advisor – he or she can help you find cruises with late-night departures, or even overnight stays, in selected ports. A late-night departure means you can spend more time on shore, with less of a rush to get back to the ship. You can enjoy the sunset, relax over a dinner of local cuisine, and even get a taste of the port’s nightlife. An overnight stay might even give you the chance to enjoy a morning stroll or bike ride on shore before departure. To find itineraries with late departures or overnights, look to cruise lines that emphasize on-shore experiences – including, but not limited to, those mentioned here. Azamara Cruises ’ Destination Immersion program includes late departures and overnight stays in a variety of ports. Some itineraries feature double-overnight stays in ports like Seville, Spain ; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam ; or Hamilton, Bermuda . Azamara also offers special n...
