Building on the demand for the new three-bedroom category in The Haven by Norwegian®, which was first seen on Norwegian Prima® and then expanded to Norwegian Joy® and Norwegian Encore® in 2024, Norwegian Bliss will now also undergo updated accommodations for the Premiere Owner's Suites with Large Balconies in the Brand's ship-within-a-ship concept. These premium, top-tier suites will now include three bedrooms; three-and-a-half baths; a separate dining room overlooking The Haven Horizon Lounge; and fully refurbished living areas, master bedrooms and outdoor balcony furnishings.
