Norwegian Cruise Line revealed a plethora of highlights that passengers can look forward to aboard the Norwegian Bliss in 2018.
The cruise line's President and CEO Andy Stuart showcased some of the exciting concepts and firsts at sea during an exclusive event at Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas on Sunday.
The 4,000-guest ship will notably boast the largest competitive race track at sea. It will also feature multiple water slides and an open-air laser tag course.
"Norwegian Bliss will no doubt be our most incredible ship to date," said Stuart in a statement. "We have elevated Norwegian Bliss's onboard experience to new heights, bringing the best features from across our fleet plus exciting new first-at-sea activities like the largest race track and new dining concepts to create the ultimate cruising experience."
Entertainment
The two-level race track stretches nearly 1,000 feet in length and utilizes electric cars capable of reaching speeds as fast as 30 mph. The attraction will offer four different speed settings and a turbo boost on each lap.
