Norwegian Cruise Line is putting two of its Jewel-class ships into dry dock for refurbishments that will see the addition of the Vibe Beach Club, among other enhancements. Both dry docks will be completed in time for the holiday cruise season.
“The new enhancements aboard the two Jewel-Class ships showcase NCL’s commitment to delivering guests more to do and more to enjoy while offering the freedom and flexibility to design their very best vacation,” a spokesperson for the line told TMR.
The main change onboard both ships will be the addition of the popular, adults-only Vibe Beach Club, which will replace the additional sundeck on Deck 14 (separate from the main pool). It will have an additional hot tub, as well as 54 premium lounge chairs and seven new private cabanas for rental.
Future cruisers can now pre-book a pass to the Vibe Beach Club, as well as one of the cabanas.
Following its three-week dry dock from Sept. 25 to Oct. 15, 2025, Norwegian Jewel will set sail on Panama Canal and Caribbean cruises from Miami. Norwegian Pearl’s revitalizations will take place from Nov. 3 to 23, 2025. It will then sail a variety of Bahamas, Caribbean, and Panama Canal cruises, also from Miami. Both ships will visit the currently under renovation Great Stirrup Cay.
