Norwegian Cruise Line Thermal Spa - Is It Worth It? | NCL Breakaway 4k

What is a thermal spa? Should I buy a thermal spa pass? Upgrade to a spa room? We'll give you everything you need to know!

On our recent cruise on the Norwegian Breakaway Cruise Ship one of the experiences we got to enjoy was the Thermal Spa which is an onboard spa including various experiences such as the Salt Bath, Steam Room, Sauna, Saunarium, Body Temperature Pool and your choice of hot tile lounge chairs or regular soft lounge chairs.

The question we want to answer is if the Thermal Spa is worth it or not? Norwegian Cruise Lines has these aboard many of their newer cruise ships and a few of their older ships but is it really worth the cost? We will walk you through the thermal spa aboard the Norwegian Breakaway Cruise Ship (same as the Norwegian Getaway Cruise Ship) and give you a tour and our opinions on the Thermal Spa experience and if you should spend your money on it or not.

We hope you enjoy this video on the NCL Thermal Spa, if you do give it a thumbs up and please conciser subscribing. Happy Travels!

Thank you for showing the breakdown of the different amenities and the actual jets in pool. It was a much more informative and helpful video than several I've seen. Keep up the great work!

I love the thermal suites! If I don’t have a room that includes the spa, I prepay online. It’s discounted and it ensures that I get a spot, since they limit how many people can get a package. It definitely makes the cruise better and the waterfall in the pool is a great way to self massage, also. On some ships, they offer essential oil scrubs that you can use in steam room. The last cruise I took was 21 days, and I got 3 refillable scrubs for about 28 dollars, but the price is different on different ships and in the past wasn’t refillable (maybe it’s different on other ships, too). I asked about scrubs on the first day on spa tour and purchase it through my tour guide. Anyway, I would use a whole jar in the steam room daily, and have it refilled on the way out. I was totally pampered! If they don’t provide scrubs, you can buy an Elemis scrub at the front desk of spa. If you do scrub in the steam room, make sure you use the water hose in there to clean up after yourself or bring in an extra towel.

I always book a room with thermal access or pre pay for the week. It’s especially amazing when you’re having tea while laying on the warm stone and looking at Glacier Bay (Alaska). Of all cruises we’ve been on, the Thermal access on NCL is the best. Even when I book a massage, they seem to do a better job than other ships I’ve been on.

We always get the thermal spa package. If you pre purchase before your cruise, it usually runs $220 for total trip. Having this peaceful space with views and thermal pool and sauna makes this well worth the price. BTW ... great review guys!

We went in November and spent quite a bit of time in there. We had nasty weather all week. Florida was in the 40’s. It was too windy to dock at the private Island. We had a spa suite so it was included in the price of the room.

I just booked an Alaska Cruise for April 2022 and got the Spa Club Balcony Suite. My Hawaii cruise in August 2019 was my first and I got the thermal spa access for the week and it wound up being a blessing. I spent time in the thermal spa every day, sometimes morning and evening. It's something I know i'll get on every cruise going forward.

This was very informative. I always take advantage of spa facilities, and you've given me good reason to take advantage of Norwegian's on my upcoming cruise.

I appreciate this video! You answered all the questions I was searching for😊

As a Solo traveler I partied every evening and used the Thermal Spa each morning to recoup. Was also great to get away from kids on spring break and the crowds for awhile. I waited to tour before deciding and paid about $220 since it was only a 7 day cruise. I would have saved $20 before embarkation otherwise.

My wife & I paid $169 USD each for 11 nights recently in Jade. Really loved it, however on the Jade there was separate areas for men & women (spa, sauna, steam & showers) but then a together space with heated tile beds & large therapy pool. Would have preferred the area together but enjoyed it just the same. If you purchase before boarding it is a little cheaper as well. The area was quiet which we loved & also had great views out of the front of the ship. Will be looking for a thermal area on any future cruise ship we sail.

We won't cruise without the thermal suite, for us it represents instant relaxation.

Thanks for the info! I will bid on this upgrade. NCL Escape

[krakatoapinatubo]

The Escape had A LOT more seating options which is nice for couples. We were there all day each day.

[elizabethborkland]

I think it’s worth it I would pay 200 bucks for that from my longer cruise

My experience was before Covid changes, but Absolutely worth every penny. Unlimited acess from early am until closing. Not sure if this has changed. Loved every second. Perfect for downtime in between sunbathing on deck and dinner. Or early morning. Does anyone know whats the new capacity due to new rules? I used the salt bath daily. I dont know what it did for me other than it was cool to be in and relaxing. Great conversations with othe guests. All around an amazing experience if you really like the calm amd serene atmosphere with zen music. Best naps of my life were in here.

My wife and myself just love the Thermal spa!
