In addition to featuring many of the highly rated restaurants and lounges that have made the Breakaway Plus class one of the most innovative and successful in the company’s history, Norwegian Encore will debut a new elevated Italian dining experience, Onda by Scarpetta, in collaboration with LDV Hospitality. The Tony Award-winning musical ‘Kinky Boots’ will headline the world-class entertainment onboard, with returning guest favourites ‘The Choir of Man’, ‘Happy Hour Prohibition: The Musical’, and the rocking Beatles cover band, The Cavern Club.
