Norwegian Dawn based in NYC - Cruise News - Brief Article

Cruise Travel, May-June, 2003

Norwegian Cruise Line recently announced that its newest and largest ship, the 2,224-passenger Norwegian Dawn, will be based in New York year-round. At the conclusion of her winter season in Miami, the Norwegian Dawn will begin an innovative itinerary of seven-day Bahamas sailings from New York on May 18.

With the ship's speed of 25 knots, she can sail on seven-day roundtrip cruises out of New York calling on four ports in the Bahamas and Florida. And with her great speed, she can leave the brisk weather of New York on Sundays and guests can wake up to sunshine and warm weather the next morning. NCL has enhanced the Norwegian Dawn's itinerary by first calling in Port Canaveral, FL, giving passengers a 15-hour day to enjoy the Orlando area's theme parks and attractions. The ship then calls in Miami, Nassau, and NCL's private island Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas, allowing passengers a full day in each port-of-call.
