NCL's record deployment - Cruise News - Norwegian Cruise Line - Brief Article

From the lush rainforests of Belize to the pristine reefs of Roatan, Honduras, to the shoreside bustle of Fort de France, Martinique, Norwegian Cruise Line offers every kind of Caribbean experience in 2003-2004, as the line embarks on the largest Caribbean deployment in its history.

Seven of NCL's newest and largest ships will offer three-, four-, five-, and seven-day Caribbean voyages in 2003-2004, with 12 innovative itineraries covering every sunsplashed corner of the Eastern, Southern, and Western Caribbean, plus the Bahamas. Under NCL's successful "Homeland Cruising" program, every Caribbean voyage departs roundtrip from a close-to-home U.S. port (Miami, New York, Port Canaveral, or San Juan).

Also highlighting NCL's Caribbean service is the introduction of the 90,000-gross-register-ton Norwegian Dawn, one of three NCL ships purpose-built for Freestyle Cruising, scheduled to debut this December. The new vessel will join the Norwegian Majesty, Norwegian Sea, Norwegian Sky, Norwegian Sun, Norwegian Wind, and the classic liner S/S Norway in the Caribbean in 2003. Each of NCL's Caribbean-bound ships (except the Norway) features Freestyle Cruising, which offers guests the ultimate in relaxation at sea and the freedom to choose when, where, and with whom they wish to dine.
