Fat Cats Jazz & Blues Club: How would you like to feel like you’ve stepped into a swingin’ New York City jazz club while onboard the Norwegian Breakaway? Keep an eye–and ear–open for New York blues star, Slam Allen, who will perform live on most nights. His unique blend of soul and blues is a style all his own. Whether you’re watching a five-piece performance inside or sitting outside on The Waterfront enjoying a drink, the ocean breeze and the cool sounds, this is the place for some of the best live jazz and blues music you’ll hear at sea.

Burn the Floor: This non-stop, 45 minute extravaganza is a sizzling and sexy show based on the world-renowned Broadway performance.
