Romance Reimagined: How to Make Your Norwegian Cruise the Perfect Couples Getaway

Cruising can be a great family holiday or solo adventure, but it can also be the perfect getaway for couples. Whether it is a blossoming romance, a honeymoon, or one of many trips as a dynamic duo, setting off into the sunset on a cruise holiday with Norwegian can be as romantic as it comes. Here are some things you can do to add some extra spark to your cruise holiday.

Choose the Perfect Stateroom

If you are setting off on a romantic getaway then it’s probably safe to assume you are looking forward to spending quite a bit of time in each other’s company. While there are quiet corners of the ship to relax (perhaps at a cosy table for two or a sunset drink at a waterfront bar will hit the mark) you will also likely spend some alone time in your stateroom.

Consider whether you would like to have a private balcony to enjoy some sundowners just the two of you, or perhaps even upgrade to a suite for some extra space and perks. If you want even more privacy and unrivalled facilities, then The Haven might be for you – an oasis with exclusive access to its own pool, lounge and restaurant for Haven guests only.

Enjoy Some Pampering at the Spa

Indulgence and romance go hand in hand, so why not take some time to spoil yourselves at the Mandara Spa. Perhaps surprise your loved one with a pampering session complete with a hot stone massage and a mani-pedi or book in for a couples treatment. If you want to go all out, then take advantage of the hot tubs, steam rooms, sauna and waterfalls that come with the full Thermal Suite Spa package.

Pre-Book a Romance Package

There is no better way to kick off a romantic getaway than with a special delivery. Pre-booked romance packages include an assortment of treats and there are six variations to choose from. These may include sparkling wine, chocolate covered strawberries, and canapes delivered to your room, a dozen red roses to surprise your loved one, a romantic dinner for two, breakfast in bed, a professional portrait as a memento of your cruise, or even a private vow renewal.

Plan a Special Dining Experience

There are plenty of dining options to choose from across the Norwegian fleet. When you dine at one of the main restaurants, request an intimate table for two and let your maitre‘d know if you are celebrating something special. For a standout evening, treat yourself to dinner at one of the specialty restaurants on board.

If you are staying in a suite in The Haven you will have exclusive access to a private restaurant, or you may choose to be served dinner on your balcony. However, in-room dining is not reserved solely for guests of The Haven. You can order from the room service menu from any stateroom if you decide to stay in and enjoy some alone time (charges apply).   

Dinner and a Show

For the ultimate date night to remember, you can’t go past the range of top-notch entertainment on board Norwegian’s fleet. How often do you get to see amazing musicians, awe-inspiring acrobatic acts and Broadway shows after your dinner date? Make the most of the incredible line up and check out the shows on offer throughout your cruise itinerary – something to reminisce about for years to come!
