Overview

The Norwegian Gem offers people of all ages a fun experience.

Starting in the morning, passengers can be found at the buffet or laying out on the pool deck. In the afternoon there are lectures, basketball courts and a climbing wall to take advantage of on the Norwegian Gem.

The evening brings a chance to check out one of the ship’s tasty specialty dining restaurants like La Cucina Italian Restaurant or one of the grand dining rooms like Magenta.

Keep your blood pumping with a spin on the dance floor or a magic show before retiring to your comfortable stateroom.
