Miami, Florida, USA (November 3, 2005) - Tonight, at an official ceremony at the Port of Miami, Melania Trump christened the world’s largest gem, NCL’s Norwegian Jewel. The newest vessel in NCL’s Freestyle Cruising fleet, Norwegian Jewel boasts a luxurious suite complex plus 10 distinct restaurants, 13 bars and lounges, three swimming pools, and a state-of-the-art spa.
Norwegian Jewel features 10 courtyard villas, which along with the ship’s two garden villas, make up the largest, grandest, most luxurious, most innovative suite complex at sea. The complex boasts a private courtyard and sundeck and both courtyard and garden villa guests have a concierge lounge available to them. Dedicated butlers offer continental breakfast, refreshments all day, canapés and drinks before dinner, and a concierge available around the clock to take care of all arrangements both on and off the ship.
The vessel also features the most versatile, family-friendly accommodations afloat. Additionally, Norwegian Jewel features NCL’s new concept, a Bar Central, featuring a martini bar, a champagne and wine bar, and a beer and whisky pub all connected, but with three distinct personalities, plus 10 other bars and lounges for passengers to enjoy.
Norwegian Jewel will sail eastern and western Caribbean itineraries out of Miami through April 2006.
