Norwegian Sun deck plans

Norwegian Sun (built in 2000 and last refurbished in 2018 under the “Norwegian Edge” program) is the second and final Sky-class vessel in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet, together with NCL Sky and Costa Victoria (formerly part of the Costa Cruises fleet).

The Norwegian Sun deck plan shows a total of 968 staterooms accommodating 1,936 passengers (maximum capacity 2,323), served by 910 crew. The ship has 12 decks (9 accessible to passengers, 8 with cabins), 16 dining venues (5 complimentary), 11 lounges and bars, 2 swimming pools, 5 Jacuzzis (outdoor whirlpools), and 8 elevators.

NCL Sun deck plan changes – 2018 refurbishment review

The following upgrades were completed during the vessel’s three-week drydock in April 2018 (Victoria, BC):

• extensive renovation of all staterooms, public areas, restaurants, bars, and lounges
• stateroom upgrades, including new smart HDTVs (infotainment system), USB ports, carpeting, headboards, artworks, and select furniture
• Bliss Ultra Lounge (formerly Dazzles disco/nightclub)
• Spice H2O (adults-only serenity deck with pool, hot tubs, full-service bar, nightly live entertainment, and DJs)
• Los Lobos Cantina (Mexican restaurant replacing Las Ramblas Bar & Restaurant)
• Spinnaker Lounge (formerly the Observation Lounge)
• renovations to Cagney’s Steakhouse, La Cucina, Le Bistro, Teppanyaki, the Main Dining Rooms (Four Seasons and Seven Seas), Mandara Spa, Stardust Lounge, Theater, Sun Casino, Splash Academy (kids’ area), and the pool deck
• During the 2016 drydock, Norwegian Sun was retrofitted with new exhaust gas cleaning systems (“scrubbers”). The upgraded technology reduces the equivalent of approximately 1,500 tons of sulfur oxide emissions. NCL was the first cruise company to retrofit vessels with hybrid scrubber systems while in service. The five new in-line scrubbers are lightweight and can operate in dry mode as well as in open- and closed-loop configurations.

Both the 2016 and 2018 drydocks were part of NCL’s fleetwide “Norwegian Edge” upgrade program, a two-year initiative budgeted at USD 400 million. Each drydock cost approximately USD 35–40 million.
