Top Norwegian Cruise Line Bars
Sugarcane Mojito Bar
You don’t have to head to Miami or Havana for the ultimate mojito. You have several options to choose from at the Sugarcane Mojito Bar on Norwegian Cruise Line.
This is our personal favorite bar in the fleet.
The best part is that the Sugarcane Mojito Bar is now found on several ships in the fleet. This venue even has both indoor and outdoor seating on the Waterfront on select ships.
With so many signature drinks to try, one stop is never enough at this popular lounge. Our go-to favorites are the raspberry-guava and jalapeno-cucumber mojitos!
