NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE ANNOUNCES EXTENSIVE ENHANCEMENTS TO NORWEGIAN JOY
- New Offerings to Include a Spa Thermal Suite, Expanded Vibe Beach Club, Upgraded The Haven by Norwegian Suites
- Revitalization to Begin January 2024 Before Norwegian Joy Offers Round-Trip Western Caribbean Cruises from Miami Starting February 2024
Norwegian Cruise Line announced today that Norwegian Joy will undergo enhancements in January 2024 to elevate the onboard guest experience. These enhancements include a new Thermal Suite in the Mandara Spa, expanded Vibe Beach Club, 24 new staterooms, redesigned Three-Bedroom The Haven Premier Owner’s Suites, and more. This revitalization will take place from Jan. 22, 2024 to Feb. 12, 2024.
“Delivering exceptional experiences across our fleet is what we strive to do,” said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. “We have listened to our guests and have taken action. With this revitalization we are adding some of the most beloved spaces and offerings across our ships to enhance the guest experience aboard Norwegian Joy. Guests will have a greater variety of staterooms to choose from and a world class, full-service spa to spend their days at sea fully immersed in relaxation.”
Norwegian Joy Thermal Suite Enhancements
When Norwegian Joy emerges from the three-week dry dock, guests will have access to an elevated onboard spa experience with a brand-new Thermal Suite. This Thermal Suite will soon be the largest of the Breakaway-Plus class ships.
The debuting Spa Thermal Suite will boast a more centralized layout with an unparalleled arrival experience. It will feature elegant sculptures and an entrance corridor encompassed with waterfalls.
A separate lounge area will feature three times as many of the popular hot tile loungers. Further, guests will be able to enjoy easy access to relaxing and reinvigorating experiences including a sauna, ice room, and aromatic steam room.
Additional innovative offerings include a new Biostation with IV Drip Therapy, an increasingly popular rejuvenating treatment delivering essential nutrients to the body; four-senses loungers for the ultimate sensory experience for deep relaxation; and Kneipp haptic foot therapy, which massages feet as guests walk across the pebbled moving stream that alternates between hot and cold foot baths.
The all-new Thermal Suite will replace the Galaxy Pavilion, the ship’s virtual-reality complex.
Additional Accommodations
To continue to offer guests more choice of accommodations, the redesign will include repurposing a portion of the Observation Lounge to create 24 new balcony staterooms. It will also include recategorizing 40 new spa balcony staterooms. These will include direct access to the Mandara Spa and the premiering Thermal Suite.
Additionally, as a result of unprecedented demand, Norwegian Joy’s The Haven by Norwegian Premier Owner’s Suites with a Large Balcony will be expanded to three-bedrooms. The two suites will include three bedrooms; three and a half bathrooms; a fully renovated living room, master bedroom, and outdoor balcony furniture; as well as a new separate dining room overlooking the forward-facing The Haven Horizon Lounge.
The Haven by Norwegian is the Company’s exclusive ship-within-a-ship. It is a key-card access only complex featuring the most spacious suites and dedicated experiences including concierge service, a private pool area, restaurant, and bar.
Vibe Beach Club Enhancements
In addition, the ever-popular, and nearly always sold-out, exclusive adults-only Vibe Beach Club will be expanded. It will take over the existing Laser Tag arena on Deck 20. The space will boast a similar layout to the Vibe Beach Club found on Norwegian Encore and Norwegian Bliss, with new private luxe cabanas.
Norwegian Joy will resume sailings post dry dock on Feb. 13, 2024, when she embarks on an 11-Day Transatlantic voyage from Southampton, United Kingdom to Miami. In March 2024, the ship will cruise seven-day round-trip Caribbean voyages from Miami before sailing to Bermuda from New York for summer 2024.

I have booked Haven Suites on the Joy for a cruise next summer. We have several grandchildren going with us and am extremely upset the ship will not have laser tag or the Galaxy Pavilion (both factors of why we picked the Joy)! I really hope they have not been eliminated, but simply changed locations
No they are getting rid of it between the extra charges for it and lack of interest they removed them
