Ready to experience Bliss!

NORWEGIAN Cruise Line will tomorrow treat a group of Australian travel agents to the first experience of Norwegian

Bliss on a two-night “cruise to nowhere” from Los Angeles.

The group is spending a night pre-cruise at the funky Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood, described as a “parallel universe of infinite possibility”.

Nicole Costantin, Damian Borg and Michelle Wiederman from Norwegian Cruise Line ( pictured at the Mondrian’s Sky Bar overlooking the Los Angeles skyline) are part of the team escorting the participants who will experience Bliss in all her glory over the next few days.

The ship features a massive Aqua Park with two multi-storey waterslides, an open air laser tag course and a top-deck two-level electric go-kart racetrack - the first available on board a North American-based cruise ship.

Onboard entertainment includes the award-winning musical Jersey

Boys, while the Cavern Club features a Beatles cover band.

Bliss will homeport from Seattle for her inaugural season during which she will sail weekly voyages to Alaska - so naturally there’s an onboard Starbucks coffee store, and agents with a sweet tooth are sure to enjoy Coco’s, the ship’s a-la-carte dessert venue.

Other dining options include Cagney’s Steakhouse, Los Lobos, Le Bistro, Ocean Blue, La Cucina and Teppanyaki - and to work it all off there’s a fitness centre along with the 24 treatment rooms of the Mandara Spa.
