“Norwegian Escape will be the largest ship in our fleet and will continue our legacy of innovation,” said Kevin Sheehan, NCL’s chief executive officer.
NCL’s two Breakaway Plus class ships, Norwegian Escape and Norwegian Bliss, will be approximately 323.7m long, 40.54m wide and offer cabins for 4,200 passengers each.
The cruise ship is the tenth vessel that Meyer Werft has built for NCL in the past 15 years. Upon its delivery in October 2015, the Norwegian Escape will sail a seven-day Eastern Caribbean itinerary, visiting Tortola, British Virgin Islands; St Thomas, US Virgin Islands; and Nassau, Bahamas.
