About the Ship - Norweigan Jewel



Built in 2005 in the shipyards of Papenburg, Germany, the M/S Norwegian Jewel is the proud namesake of the Norwegian "Jewel Class" cruise ships.  She is a whopping 965 feet(over three football fields) long, 106 feet wide and weighs 93,000 tons!

She boosts a crew of 1,154 which can easily cater to its 2,376 travelers.  With 1,120 cabins and 15 decks, this city on water can power ahead at a staggering 25 knots dispite her enormous size.   

As well as offering some of the largest suites at sea, there are staterooms to accommodate every style.  When it comes to entertainment, this ship is filled with excitement: 16 dining options, 13 bars and nightclubs and that's just the beginning.  How about some of these amenities:
  • State-of-the-art fitness center
  • Waterslide
  • Pools, hot tubs
  • and the list goes on and on.
How about the Stardust Theatre which seats 1043 people!

Stardust Theatre - Seating Capacity: 1043


Or, the Sapphire Pools which accommodates 144 sunbeds, 314 chairs, and additional stools. Idon't know how much use this thing gets in the far North, but I'm sure the Carribean runs get a lot of use from it!

And if that isn't enough, how about tennis courts, bowling or a fully stocked and elegant library to spend some time in.  The Norwegian Jewel is truly the crown jewel of the fleet.
