Norwegian Getaway is a cruise ship of the Norwegian Cruise Line. It was built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, and was delivered to its owner on January 10, 2014. At the time of its christening it was the world’s ninth largest cruise ship with a passenger capacity of 3,969 and a crew of 1,640. Norwegian Getaway is the sister vessel of Norwegian Breakaway.

The ship is based out of Miami and mostly sails seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruises. It was christened in Miami on February 7, 2014, with the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders serving as godmothers. The ship departed on its maiden voyage the next day.

Entertainment on board the ship includes the “Illusionarium”, an entertainment venue devoted to magic and illusion performances. It also includes a 30 feet (9.1 m) high video dome in the middle of the performance area. The water park has five slides, including a freefall drop and two twister slides located side by side in a spiral.

There is a Grammy entertainment venue which includes items taken from the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live in Los Angeles. In line with this, Norwegian Cruise Line became the “Official Cruise Line Partner of the Grammy Awards”. Chef Geoffrey Zakarian has food venues on board the ship including the Ocean Blue concept that is already installed on Norwegian Breakaway. Ocean Blue forms part of the area on the ship called “The Waterfront” which allows for outdoor dining in most of the restaurants on board. The decking for the waterfront area is provided by Bolidt, who also provided the same for Breakaway. The end of each cruise will be marked by a fireworks display at sea.
