At almost 335m long, Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship, Norwegian Encore, has been delivered, ahead of a nearly month-long tour with preview events scheduled in Europe, New York and Miami, including the ship’s naming ceremony on 21 November 2019.
“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 this November, when Norwegian Encore arrives home to Miami.”
Norwegian Encore embarked on her first preview cruise from Bremerhaven, Germany on 31 October 2019, arriving to Southampton, England on 2 November 2019. During the two-day voyage, guests will enjoy the company’s newest offerings including the largest and most exciting racetrack 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”.
