Norwegian Dawn Cruises

4.5
(from 2 verified customers)

Sailing since 2002 and refurbished in 2016, at 91,740 GT and carrying 2,476 passengers, she was the first of the Norwegian Cruise Line to display their distinctive hull art – this makes it vary easy to pick out in a harbour full of ships. The vessel promotes a relaxing life-style, with open any-time dining, unpretentious guests, even easy disembarkation.

Passengers cover the gamut of ages, and dress is resort casual. Families can inter-connect their cabins. The children’s centre is excellent. This is a floating leisure centre that has attracted excellent reviews. Read more

Just watch that your add-on spending is kept in check.

    The freestyle dining in twelve traditional and alternative locations means you can eat anywhere, anytime, in formal or casual dress: but this means that you have to make sure you make reservations. In one of the Main Dining Rooms you’ll enjoy a five-course traditional meal prepared by master chefs who are members of the Chaine des Rotisserus, set in a grand Italian Palazzo atmosphere. The other Main Dining Room offers a lighter cuisine. Less formally, order a cabin breakfast and coffee, head for a buffet, Asian fusion selection, or order a grill poolside. Read more

    Alternative dining with cover charges include Italian, French, Japanese (Sushi, Sashimi and Teppanyaki), Mexican and Brazilian Steakhouse cuisines. Also there’s Pizza 24/7, delivered anywhere on board, and also to your cabin for a small charge.

  • Stroll over to The Cellars - A Michael Mondavi Family Wine Bar and then pop into Sugarcane for a refreshing mojito - or two.
