| Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Encore Delivered - Ship is Previewed to Agents and the Media |
Norwegian
Cruise Line, the innovator in global cruise travel, today took delivery
of its newest ship, Norwegian Encore, in Bremerhaven, Germany.
This
highly anticipated milestone begins a nearly month-long tour with
preview events scheduled in Europe, New York and Miami, including the
ship’s naming ceremony on Nov. 21, 2019. In attendance were Norwegian
Cruise Line and Meyer Werft executives.
“Today we celebrate the delivery of our 17th
ship and the close of our history-making Breakaway Plus class – a feat
that was made possible through a special collaboration with our partners
at Meyer Werft,” said Andy Stuart, president and chief executive
officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. “Our dedication to creating next-level
offerings on board, will allow us to continue to deliver meaningful
experiences for our guests, when Norwegian Encore arrives home to
Miami.”
The
nearly 1,100-foot-long Norwegian Encore, with a gross tonnage of almost
170,000 and a guest capacity of nearly 4,000, will embark on her first
preview cruise from Bremerhaven, Germany on Oct.31, arriving to
Southampton, England on Nov. 2. During the two-day voyage, guests will
enjoy the Company’s newest offerings including the largest and most
exciting race track in the industry, the new Onda by Scarpetta, enhanced
Galaxy Pavilion and open-air laser tag attractions, and the at-sea
debut of the Tony Award®-winning Kinky Boots.
“We’re
happy to deliver another world-class ship to Norwegian Cruise Line,”
said Tim Meyer, managing director of Meyer Werft. “We are extremely
proud of our partnership of over 16 years and honored to have been part
of Norwegian Cruise Line’s most successful class of ships. We are
confident that Norwegian Encore will continue Company’s legacy of
exceeding the expectations of its guests.”
On
Nov. 2, Norwegian Encore will commence her transatlantic voyage to the
U.S., arriving to New York on Nov. 10 with a two-day preview scheduled
from Nov. 11 to 13. She will then voyage to Miami for a series of
events, concluding with the christening ceremony and celebration on Nov.
21, which includes a live performance by Norwegian Encore’s godmother
and Grammy Award-winning singer and television host Kelly Clarkson.
Taking
the brand’s exclusive, stand-out attractions to the next level,
Norwegian Encore will feature the world’s longest race track at sea at
1,100 feet with four high-speed curves extending up to 13 feet over the
side of the ship; the largest outdoor laser tag arena at nearly 10,000
square feet with the addition of augmented reality elements; and new
immersive escape room and interactive theatre experiences in the
10,000-square-foot Galaxy Pavilion.
In
addition to featuring many of the highly rated restaurants and lounges
that have made the Breakaway Plus class one of the most innovative and
successful in the Company’s history, Norwegian Encore will debut a new
elevated Italian dining experience, Onda by Scarpetta, in collaboration
with LDV Hospitality. The Tony Award®-winning musical, “Kinky
Boots” will headline the world-class entertainment on board, with
returning guest favorites “The Choir of Man,” “Happy Hour Prohibition:
The Musical” and the rocking Beatles cover band of The Cavern Club.
As
part of a recent partnership with JUST Goods, Inc., Norwegian Encore
will be the first ship in the Company to be plastic bottle free when she
debuts. By Jan. 1, 2020 Norwegian Cruise Line will be the first major
cruise line to eliminate plastic bottles across its entire fleet, a
significant effort towards providing guests with more sustainable
options at sea.
Launching this fall, Norwegian Encore will offer seven-day voyages to the Eastern Caribbean from Miami beginning Nov. 24, 2019; Bermuda, and Canada and New England itineraries from New York City beginning Apr. 22, 2020; and voyages to the Western Caribbean from Miami beginning Dec. 12, 2020. In the spring of 2021, she will make her West Coast debut and sail to Alaska from Seattle.
