Another 'ice bar' coming to the high seas



Could a cruise line soon have the coolest nightspot in Miami?
Norwegian Cruise Line says its soon-to-debut Norwegian Getaway, which will be based year-round in the city, will feature an "ice bar" kept at 17 degrees Fahrenheit. Located on deck eight of the 4,028-passenger vessel, the Art Deco-styled lounge will feature South Florida-inspired elements such as South Beach's iconic Ocean Drive skyline and palm trees etched into its icy walls, and a life-size alligator throne made entirely of ice.

The room's bar area, seating and glasses also will be made out of ice. Customers will be given hooded coats and gloves to keep warm during visits. The venue exclusively will serve Svedka vodka and Inniskillin ice wine and be called the SVEDKA/Inniskillin Ice Bar. The outlet is the third of its kind at the line. Norwegian unveiled the first ice bar at sea in 2010 on the 4,100-passenger Norwegian Epic. There's also an ice bar on the line's four-month-old Norwegian Breakaway. A sister to the Norwegian Breakaway, the Norwegian Getaway is scheduled to sail year-round to the Eastern Caribbean out of Miami.
