People absolutely love it.” Appearing to the Virtuoso Travel Week conference in Las Vegas, Stuart revealed the track on Bliss would be 40 per cent longer than the one on Joy. He said: “We’ve managed to utilise the same space more efficiently. It’s going to be an even better experience, I think.” Norwegian Joy, custom built for the Chinese market, debuted in April and can hold 3,850 passengers.
