*This post is in collaboration with Norwegian Cruise Lines. I 'm receivng a comped cruise for I and a guest, in exchange for blog and social media content. All opinions are my own.

Ahoy Mates! The press trip cruise, I've been talking about is coming up shortly! Before I set sail, I wanted to share some unique and exciting features of Norwegian's newest luxury liner. The ship is the newest member of liner's "Breakaway Plus' Class vessels. This amazing city at sea was custom built, to give you the ultimate cruising experience.  

The Bliss will keep cruisers intrigued for days, as it boasts an array of exciting experiences. Included are endless options for eats, acitivities, world class accommodations and show stopping entertainment. After the inaugural cruise, she will be cruising the breathtaking waters of Alaska. Then later in November, the ship will trade in voyages on northern waters for the sunsets of the Caribbean.

Imagine Spectacular Experiences aboard the Norwegian Bliss

On board the Bliss, guests will experience "incredible firsts", and embark on a vacation like never before. I'm over the moon excited to jump on board, I can hardly wait! After the cruise I will be posting a full guide to cruising on the Bliss. Until then I am sharing a sneak peak:

Can you believe the food extravaganza, oh my goodness?!  I 'm already scheming how I can a sample a bite of all of it.  This is quite the city riding high on the sea.  It's a little bit of heaven on earth for sure! I'm  looking forward to sharing my experience on the Bliss with all of you.

I'll be sharing live coverage from the ship on instagram and facebook . (Hopefully the internet on open waters will cooperate.) Just maybe... you will catch me chilling out on these spa chairs!


I hope you'll follow along, and be inspired to book a Norwegian cruise soon!
