7. EXPERIENCE A SPA-LIKE SNOWSTORM

Chill out on board the Norwegian Escape in the Mandara Spa’s Snow Room. Plunge into sub-zero temperatures and watch as flurries of powdery snow fall from the ceiling. With temperatures dipping as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit, the Snow Room works to stimulate circulation in the body. If a snow room isn’t for you there are other exotic thermal suites like the Salt Room, you’ll find it on Norwegian’s Breakaway-class ships.

These will create the perfect Instagram selfie! Try it for yourself on the Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway.
