Contemporary cruise ships are known for being floating entertainment centers. From wave pools and rock-climbing walls to zip lines and skydiving simulators, there’s definitely an activity for everyone on most of these vessels.
If you’re planning your next trip with Norwegian Cruise Line, you’ll soon have one more activity to enjoy: go-karting. It’s just one way that cruise ships are starting to cater to gearhead passengers.

Go-karting via Norwegian Cruise Line ships
Currently, Norwegian Cruise Line has two ships with go-kart tracks: Joy and Bliss. The first debuted back in 2017 and the latter debuted one year later. This November, the company will release a third track-equipped ship: Encore.
Per Car and Driver, the Encore will boast an 11,500-foot track that can accommodate up to 10 racers. Each kart can reach 30 mph and each racing session lasts around 8 minutes. The track itself includes 10 turns, as well as four portions that extend over the side of the ship for an enhanced thrill. There’s also a viewing track where observers can witness the race and give certain drivers a turbo boost by tagging that kart with a laser.
Be prepared to shell out $15 per person for a single ride on the track. Though, if you discover that you’re addicted to this attraction, you can also splurge on one of the $199.95 unlimited passes that NCL offers. If you do go this route, get an unlimited pass as early as you can due to their limited availability.
