Norwegian Sun OVERVIEW

Though it doesn't offer the huge entertainment venues and adventurous onboard activities of larger cruise line ships, what the Norwegian Sun does offer is well chosen and perfectly executed. The spa, dining options, and staterooms are all top notch. The ship also went through a complete upgrade in 2018 that resulted in sleek, sophisticated décor and modernized public spaces. Even with this posh aesthetic, the vibe on board is still what Norwegian devotees love about the cruise line: It's relaxed, casual, and friendly.
