Considering booking a Haven spa suite on the Breakaway and don’t know what to expect? We just stayed in a Haven spa suite on NCL Breakaway during our recent cruise to the Greek Isles and are excited to share about it with you.
Beginning in 2024, the Haven Spa Suites will be renamed Haven Penthouse Suites and will no longer have Thermal Suite privileges.
In this post, we’ll discuss the Breakaway Haven spa suite’s bed, furnishings, bathroom, bonuses, and more.
About The Breakaway
The Breakaway, a magnificent cruise ship in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet, offers an exceptional experience for those seeking luxury and comfort at sea. With its elegant design and world-class amenities, the Breakaway promises an unforgettable journey.
Relax in your spacious suite, take a refreshing dip in the sparkling pool or hot tub, challenge yourself on the ropes course, enjoy a captivating Broadway-style show, try your luck in the casino, or savor the finest dining options. This ship has everything you could possibly want for an extraordinary voyage.
Built in 2013, the Breakaway is a mass-market cruise ship, the first in Norwegian’s Breakaway class. Its eighteen passenger decks house 2,014 staterooms with a capacity for 3,963 passengers at double occupancy.
The ship weighs 145,655 tons and is 1,068 feet long with a 170-foot beam. Approximately 1,657 crew members are aboard with a 1:2.4 crew-to-passenger ratio. The Breakaway was most recently refurbished in 2020.
Our Haven Spa Suite
Our recent cruise to the Greek Isles on the Breakaway was made all the more memorable thanks to our stay in a luxurious Haven spa penthouse suite. It was a truly unforgettable experience, complete with stunning views, excellent amenities, and exceptional service.
Located on the port (left) side of the ship, our suite (14138) was on deck 14 forward, near the spa. Although the suite isn’t in the Haven enclave, its guests have access to all the Haven amenities.
This 255-square-foot stateroom (total square footage including balcony is 309 square feet) is on the port side, conveniently located just a few steps away from the forward elevators. Both above and below us were more cabins. We noticed no noise from them during our cruise.
Studio-style, Haven penthouse suites have a combination living/sleeping area, a separate bathroom, and a balcony.
The amenities in the suite were superb. The bathroom featured a walk-in shower and a double sink. The king-size bed was incredibly comfortable and had four feather pillows. We also had a large flat-screen TV, plus a mini-fridge that our butler kept stocked with our favorite drinks.
With all that said, let’s go into a little more detail.

The Bed
The bed is king-size and can be separated into twin beds. Made up with crisp white sheets and a duvet, the bed has four pillows and a runner stretched along the foot. The color scheme of the suites on the Breakaway is chocolate, rust, and white.
Other Furnishings
Furnishings in the suite include a one-drawer nightstand on either side of the bed, a lamp above each nightstand, a desk area with a lighted mirror and stool, and a long counter space with drawers below. A mini-fridge is hidden inside one of the cabinets under the counter. A table and two armchairs next to the desk serve as your dining area, and this is where your butler will leave your canapes each afternoon.
The Bathroom
The bathroom in the spa penthouse suite contains a walk-in spa shower, a double sink with storage beneath, and a toilet. The spa shower is roomy and has several jets that you can utilize, as well as a waterfall shower head.
The bathroom is stocked with L’Occitane toiletries in large bottles: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion.
A nightlight isn’t provided in the bathroom, so you may want to bring a battery-powered motion-sensor one like this.
Refreshments
On your counter, you will find a refreshment station with shelves above that contain glassware as well as coffee cups. Provided are a Nespresso machine with regular and decaf coffee pods, coffee condiments, and Tea Forte bags if you prefer a nice cup of hot tea. An ice bucket is kept filled by your butler.
The mini fridge below the counter will be stocked with two large bottles of water for sale. You can simply remove those and stock your fridge as you want, or ask your butler.
Technology
A flat-screen TV with a remote control is on the wall above the desktop, which situates it for good viewing from the bed.
Because this ship is a little older, electrical outlets are sparse. There is one available 110-volt US outlet on the desk. We needed another, so we unplugged the Nespresso machine when not in use and took advantage of that US outlet.
A European outlet is on the desk but is used for the second room phone, a portable. If you need a European outlet, you can unplug the phone and use that one.
A desk phone is on one of the nightstands. Be sure to check the indicator light for messages each day.
Closets and Storage
Storage includes drawers beneath the desktop, shelving in a tall unit next to the bathroom (this is where your safe is located), one closet with a single bar and shelving beneath, and a second closet with two bars.
Wood clothes hangers are provided. If you need more, simply ask your cabin attendant.
The Balcony
The balcony is a nice size at 54 square feet, large enough for a small table and two chairs, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee while you watch the sun rise or set.

Bonuses
Available for your use during your cruise are two bathrobes in a size large or so, two sets of slippers, and a large umbrella.
The Butler and Stateroom Attendant
As guests in the Haven, you have the services of a butler and a stateroom attendant. Your butler handles all food requests you have such as afternoon canapes, ice in your bucket, and room service. Your stateroom attendant cleans your stateroom and bathroom and can provide anything you need to make your suite more comfortable.
The Haven Restaurant
Staying in a Haven suite comes with the perk of exclusive access to the Haven Restaurant on deck 16. Indulge in gourmet cuisine not found in other ship restaurants, while basking in an atmosphere of elegance and refinement. Escape the hustle and bustle of the main dining areas and avoid long lines, as we did, to enjoy a delightful, hassle-free meal.
Other Amenities
Guests of the Haven have exclusive access to a private lounge, concierge, restaurant, courtyard with plunge pool and hot tubs, and a sundeck.
The lounge served as a peaceful retreat where we could enjoy a drink or snack in a quiet atmosphere away from the crowds. The courtyard is the ultimate relaxation spot, offering a more intimate hot tub experience and luxurious chaise lounges, plus tables for al fresco dining.
