Norwegian Pearl - NCL Norwegian Cruise Line - Garden Villa

Norwegian Cruise Line first introduced some of the most elaborate suite accommodations on Norwegian Star. Called "Garden Villas", these seagoing apartments are the epitome of luxury sea travel. On Norwegian Pearl, two Garden Villas are perched high atop the ship and measure 4,390 sq ft (534 sq m) each.

Garden Villa # 14000 - One of the guest bedrooms

You enter the Garden Villas by ringing one of three door bells. A spacious marble-clad hall leads to wards the huge living room, featuring grand views of the Pool Deck below through floor to ceiling windows. An intimate  outdoor patio with Jacuzzi has a staircase leading up to a private sundeck with hammocks. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. And the services of a butler.

One deck up is a secluded area with two more suites. These elegant Deluxe Owner's Suites are a lot more modest than the extravagant Villas, but the forward-facing balconies with Jacuzzis of these Owner's Suites make them highly desirable.

Private Courtyard for Courtyard Villa occupants

NCL successfully introduced the Courtyard Villa concept on the Norwegian Jewel. Only accessible to 'Courtyard Villa' guests, the courtyard can be closed off in inclement weather by a sliding glass roof and has a tiny dipping pool, a steam room, some fitness apparatus, while one deck up there is a large sun deck with lots of room to stretch out in the sun..

But even if you haven't got the money to splurge on a suite, you can rest assured that you'll be well off on Norwegian Pearl. Nearly 800 of all 1,197 guest staterooms have sea views, with an impressive percentage of private balconies thrown in. Staterooms feature a colorful décor (some may find it too colorful), have a well-appointed bathroom with semi-separate toilet, coffee-making facilities (an NCL exclusive) and crisp duvets on every bed. And wait until you see the funny comments on the toiletries provided!
