Norwegian Pearl

Description

Norwegian Pearl is the third of NCL’s four Jewel-class cruise ship of Norwegian Cruise Line, launched in 2006, sailing itineraries primarily around Alaska and the Caribbean. Construction began October 3, 2005, and Norwegian Pearl was floated out of the Meyer Werft Shipyard covered building dock on October 15, 2006. She then spent a couple of days in Holland where workers and their families could spend some time on board.

On November 30, the ship stopped in Southampton, England, to celebrate her entry into service. She made her first voyage with paying passengers on December 2, from Southampton to Miami, Florida, where the ship was based for her first season. Rosie O’Donnell is Norwegian Pearl’s godmother. The christening ceremony took place in Miami’s Port of Miami on December 16, 2006.

As with the rest of NCL’s fleet, Norwegian Pearl utilizes the “Freestyle” cruising concept, which allows guest to dine in any number of restaurants, in casual attire, at times of their own choosing. The Pearl was featured on the 2009 CNBC documentary Cruise Inc.: Big Money on the High Seas.Norwegian Pearl sails Caribbean cruises out of Miami, and Alaska cruises out of Seattle depending on the time of year. The ship has Panamax dimensions, which make it possible for her to transit the Panama Canal while repositioning between the two ports.

Norwegian Pearl has a similar exterior appearance to NCL’s Libra-class ships; Norwegian Star, which entered service in 2001, and Norwegian Dawn, which entered service in 2002. The interior design and amenities, however, are significantly different and merit Norwegian Pearl a Jewel-class designation.
