Norwegian Cruise Line has unveiled several reimagined spaces and additions onboard Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Gem, including the brand-new adults-only Vibe Beach Club and an enhanced Thermal Suite. In addition, a Starbucks has been added onboard Norwegian Jade.
“Listening to our guests and delivering exceptional experiences across our fleet is at the heart of what we do,” said Marc Kazlauskas, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. “These recent transformations bring some of our most beloved amenities to Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Gem, creating greater consistency across our fleet while giving guests more ways to personalize their vacation — from adults-only outdoor spaces to serene relaxation areas designed to help them unwind at sea.”

Expanded Thermal Suite in Mandara Spa & Salon
Redesigned with guest feedback in mind, the refreshed Thermal Suite aboard Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Gem now feature three times as many of the popular hot tile loungers, a more centralized layout with an upgraded reception area, updated steam rooms and saunas, and new relaxing and reinvigorating experiences, including:
- A Charcoal Sauna that utilizes a radiant heat system with an outer charcoal layer with potential benefits of boosting circulation and releasing toxins from the body. Its warming properties reduce muscle stiffness and tension.
- An Ice Room with cold air invigorates the respiratory tract.
- The Salt Room benefits skin health and induces deep relaxation.
- An IV Lounge, which has become an increasingly popular treatment to quickly deliver essential nutrients to the body.
- Four-Senses Loungers provide the ultimate sensory experience for deep relaxation and tranquility.
Additionally, Norwegian Jade offers brand-new Experiential Showers, featuring multiple water jets and lighting effects to help invigorate the body, as well as a Plunge Pool for brief cold-water immersion to accelerate muscle recovery, boost circulation and leave guests feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Norwegian Gem provides an updated hot tub and Thalassotherapy pool which uses massage jets, bubble loungers and countercurrents to detoxify the body and soothe joint pain.

Vibe Beach Club
Both Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Gem now provide the popular adults-only Vibe Beach Club, repurposing the existing sundeck on deck 14. This exclusive outdoor oasis offers expansive ocean views, a private full-service bar, an additional hot tub, over 50 premium lounge chairs and seven new private cabanas for guests to unwind in style.
