A new licensed Starbucks will be added to Norwegian Jade, offering the hot and cold beverages, seasonal blends and sweet and savoury food items.

The refreshed Thermal Suites on Jade and Gem now feature three times as many of the popular hot tile loungers, more centralised layout with an upgraded reception area, updated steam rooms and saunas, and new experiences.
