Most of the interior public areas of the Norwegian Gem are modern and contemporary. The Crystal Atrium is particularly impressive. NCL has added a two-deck high definition projection screen, which can show movies and popular sporting events (like bowl games), or be used to play Nintendo Wii games. Even if you don't play the Wii games, it's fun to watch your fellow passengers! The atrium has become a gathering place for passengers to have fun in this large, open environment.

The Ying & Yang Spa also has a special look. Mandara operates the spa, and it has a wonderful tranquil ambiance. All of the standard spa treatments are available in the spa, and you can even schedule a massage in your cabin. Next to the spa is the Body Waves Fitness Center, which is open 24 hours a day. This fully-equipped gym includes the latest machines and has floor to ceiling windows, so you can enjoy the sea views while working out. The fitness center also features yoga, aerobics, spinning, Pilates, and a variety of other exercise classes.

For gamers, the Norwegian Gem has the Gem Club Casino, with all the latest games and more than 200 slot machines. If you'd rather spend your money in ship shops, the Trade Routes Boutiques offer a little of everything. It's fun to browse or to buy!
