The 2,402 passenger Norwegian Jade has sailed out of dry dock and into the warm waters of Florida ahead of her big European summer season this year. According to her owners, the Norwegian Jade refit has the ship looking and feeling like new.

Norwegian Jade spent 3 weeks in dry dock and every part of the ship experience was enhanced, including the addition of two brand new restaurants and two new bars and lounges, updated design and décor in many public spaces, and a refurbishment of all staterooms.

The line’s popular 24-hour neighbourhood pub-style restaurant, O’Sheehan’s Bar & Grill, has been added to deck eight. Serving up cold brews and snack-time favourites, the new venue features modern flooring, refurbished front and back bars and new banquet seating.

Also new on Norwegian Jade is Pit Stop. It is a new concept serving poolside fun and fare in a 1950s-style American diner atmosphere with vintage licence plates, gas station signage and classic car elements.

Moderno Churrascaria has been relocated on deck 13 during the Norwegian Jade refit. It now features a new posh glass door entrance and floor-to-ceiling windows allowing for stunning panoramic views of the ocean.

Guests sailing in The Haven®, Norwegian’s luxury suite concept, will now enjoy a more modern chic atmosphere in all suites and villas, as they now feature new finishes to walls and ceilings, new flooring and balconies, plus new soft goods and drapery. Norwegian Jade’s villas and suites also received more than 250 new pieces of artwork alone.

The Atrium on Norwegian Jade has been enhanced with a refreshed look and décor brought to life with an eye-catching, custom-designed marquee chandelier.

The Norwegian Jade refit comes just in time for her highly anticipated summer season, the brand’s first ever complete season sailing from Hamburg, Germany to the Norwegian Fjords, with embarkation also available in the UK. On 30 April she will sail across the Atlantic for her summer homeports of Southampton and Hamburg.
