Four-Lane Bowling Alley Planned for Norwegian Pearl

A four-lane bowling alley is the latest attraction to be added to a cruise ship. Norwegian Cruise Line´s Norwegian Pearl will feature bowling as part of a sports bar and nightclub complex when the ship enters service next year.

The NCL innovation follows Royal Caribbean adding a surf park to soon to be launched Freedom of the Seas, ice rinks on its Voyager-class vessels and rock climbing across a range of ships.

Bowling will feature alongside flat screen TVs showing sporting events and arcade games in the ‘Bliss´ complex on board Norwegian Pearl. At night the area will be transformed into a nightclub.

NCL´s UK general manager Francis Riley said: “We were the first to offer Broadway shows in our theatres, onboard bungee trampolines and giant gyroscopes on board Pride of America, and now we have introduced the industry´s first bowling alley.”
