Breakaway-plus class
The Breakaway-plus class launched in 2015, with the delivery of Norwegian Escape. It is an enhanced version of the original class, including a slight increase in both the length and tonnage, and the addition of several new facilities. As with the original Breakaway class, they are operated exclusively by Norwegian Cruise Line. While the Norwegian Joy, Bliss and Encore are nearly identical, the Escape has many design features carried over from the original breakaway class, and is smaller than her three younger sisters.
