Norway Moves To Asia - redeployment to Asia-Pacific region of cruise ship Norway - Brief Article

Cruise Travel, Jan, 2001

Star Cruises, parent company of Norwegian Cruise Line, has announced that NCL's Norway will be redeployed to Asia-Pacific in September 2001. The Norway, a ship with a legendary heritage, originally sailed as the SS France in the early 1960s. She has served NCL well following her rebirth as the Norway 20 years ago.

Prior to her redeployment, the Norway will embark on a summer season of seven-day, alternating Eastern/Western Caribbean "farewell cruises" as NCL's flagship. The three final "farewell cruises," including a 16-day trans-Atlantic voyage, will feature special onboard amenities and programming designed to celebrate the ship's heritage and place in maritime history.

The Norway will be dry-docked in Europe for three weeks before her three-week cruise to a homeport in Asia-Pacific, which will be announced at a later date.
