Norwegian Getaway is a cruise ship of the Norwegian Cruise Line. She was built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, and was delivered to her owner on 10 January 2014.[3] At the time of her christening she was the world's ninth-largest cruise ship[4] with a passenger capacity of 3,969 and a crew of 1,640.[5]

Amenities on board the ship include restaurants by chef Geoffrey Zakarian, an entertainment venue devoted to magic called the "Illusionarium", and another entertainment venue themed in conjunction with the Grammy Awards. The ship is based in Miami and mostly sails seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruises. She was christened in Miami on 7 February 2014, with the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders serving as godmothers.[4] The ship departed on her maiden voyage the next day.
