Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Gem Add Vibe Beach Club and Spa Updates
The two Norwegian Cruise Line ships now feature redesigned Thermal Suites, while Norwegian Jade has also gained a licensed Starbucks store.
Norwegian Cruise Line has unveiled reimagined spaces and new additions aboard Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Gem, including adults-only Vibe Beach Clubs and enhanced Thermal Suites within the Mandara Spa and Salon.
The refreshed Thermal Suites have three times as many hot tile loungers, more centralized layouts, upgraded reception areas, and updated steam rooms and saunas. Norwegian Jade also gained Experiential Showers with multiple water jets and lighting effects, along with a cold-water Plunge Pool. Norwegian Gem now has an updated hot tub and Thalassotherapy pool featuring massage jets, bubble loungers and countercurrents.
On both ships, existing sundecks on deck 14 were repurposed to create Vibe Beach Club. Each outdoor area includes a private full-service bar, an additional hot tub, more than 50 premium lounge chairs and seven private cabanas.
Norwegian Jade has also added a licensed Starbucks store offering hot and cold beverages, seasonal blends, and sweet and savory food items.
Through late summer 2026, Norwegian Jade is scheduled to operate seven-day Alaska sailings from Vancouver, British Columbia, and Whittier, Alaska. The itineraries include scenic cruising through the Inside Passage and glacier regions, with visits to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Icy Strait Point.
