After completing extensive tests and engine trials, Norwegian Cruise Line's ("NCL") Norwegian Pearl left the Meyer Werft covered building dock on Sunday, Oct. 15 in Papenburg , Germany . The ship will now berth at an outfitting pier where all remaining work will be completed. The 93,500-ton Norwegian Pearl is scheduled to transit the Ems River to Eemshaven , Netherlands on Nov. 4 for sea trials. Following her inaugural sailing on Dec.16, 2006 from Miami , Norwegian Pearl will sail nine-day Southern Caribbean and five-day Western Caribbean itineraries roundtrip from Miami through April 2007. She will then reposition to sail seven-day Alaska itineraries roundtrip from Seattle for the summer before returning to Miami in September for the remainder of 2007.
Norwegian Pearl will feature an industry first-a full-size, four-lane, ten-pin bowling alley, and two NCL firsts-a rock-climbing wall and two top-of-the-ship Deluxe Owner Suites. Norwegian Pearl will accommodate 2,400 guests, and will feature all the elements of NCL's dynamic modern Freestyle Cruising fleet including 10 restaurants, 11 bars and lounges, two swimming pools, a casino, and much more.
