Which Norwegian cruise ship has a bowling alley?

The Norwegian Pearl bowling alley is located in the Bliss Ultra Lounge, which is a sports bar with multiple flat screen TVs and arcade games.



Several ships in the Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) fleet feature bowling alleys, though the company has begun removing them from older vessels to make room for other amenities. In 2026, the most famous installation is on the Norwegian Bliss, which features the "Ocean Lanes" bowling alley with spectacular views of the sea. The Norwegian Pearl was the first to introduce the concept in 2006 and still maintains its popular lanes in the "Bliss Ultra Lounge." Other ships like the Norwegian Epic also feature bowling as part of their diverse entertainment lineup. However, travelers should note that ships like the Norwegian Gem, Dawn, Jade, and Jewel have had their alleys removed during recent refurbishments. For the newest "Prima Class" ships, like the Norwegian Viva and Norwegian Aqua, NCL has replaced traditional bowling with high-tech "Duckpin" bowling or multi-game zones. Bowling on NCL typically costs an extra fee (approx. $5–$10 per person, per game) and is a popular activity for families on "sea days."

It really doesn't matter! When you enter a fjord, the only way out is to go back again. The Norwegian Fjords are beautiful, but you'll see the scenery no matter which side of the ship you're on, the only difference is in whether you see it in the morning when you arrive, or in the evening when you're sailing out.
