Which Norwegian ship has an indoor pool?

Pool Decks & Hot Tubs Whether you're dipping your toes in the water, warming up in a hot tub or doing laps in the longest indoor pool on Norwegian Dawn, bring your sunscreen and soak up the sun on our pool decks.



In 2026, several Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) ships feature indoor pools, though they are primarily found in the exclusive, upscale areas of the ship. The most prominent example is the Norwegian Luna, the fourth "Prima Class" ship launching in 2026, which features an indoor pool and hydrotherapy circuit within the Mandara Spa. Similarly, its sister ships—the Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Viva, and Norwegian Aqua—all boast stunning indoor "Vitality" pools within their Thermal Suites. For a "standard" indoor pool experience that isn't tied to the spa, the Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Breakaway, and Norwegian Getaway feature a "Solarium" area with a retractable roof that can be closed during cold or inclement weather, effectively creating an indoor pool environment. Additionally, for the ultra-wealthy, "The Haven" on almost all modern NCL ships features a private, glass-enclosed "Haven Courtyard" with its own indoor pool, hot tubs, and lounge area. If you are cruising in 2026 to cold climates like Alaska or the Baltic, choosing a ship with these "retractable roof" or "thermal suite" options is essential for enjoying the water regardless of the outside temperature.

When do The Swimming Pools Close? On most cruise lines, the swimming pools are open from early morning until the evening. On some cruise lines, you'll find the pools and hot tubs open late into the evening which I particularly enjoy. There's not a lot better than an evening swim beneath the stars!

Cruise lines drain their swimming pools at night to discourage guests from trying to enter the pool when it is closed. Draining the swimming pools each night also allows the cruise lines to replace the water with clean water and a drained swimming pool is safer if the weather is rough.
