Norwegian Getaway, second of the two 146,000 gross ton cruise liners Norwegian Cruise Line has ordered from Meyer Werft in Germany, will sail on its maiden voyage from Southampton to Miami on 17 January 2014, said Francis Riley, Vice President International at the Miami based company.
Riley, who was speaking on board the new Norwegian Breakaway in Southampton on Monday, said that the ship will feature Miami theme as opposed to New York on the first vessel of the class. Norwegian Getaway will operate 7-night cruises from Miami year-round.
A third vessel, larger at 163,000 gross tons and with about 4,200 berths opposed to the 4,000 on the two first units, will be introduced in 2015. The yet unnamed vessel will have an additional deck of cabins, which explains its larger tonnage and higher passenger capacity, he said.
