Inside Look: The Brand-New Norwegian Encore Arrives to the U.S.
Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest, grandest ship, Norwegian Encore, has made her debut in the United States. The much-awaited ship arrived in New York City on November 10 after completing her first transatlantic voyage, with a two-day preview scheduled from November 11 to 13.
Celebrations are being kicked off with a scavenger hunt in Times Square on Monday November 11, where winners will be rewarded with a free cruise. Norwegian Encore will then make her way to Miami for a series of events, concluding with the christening ceremony and celebration on November 21, which includes a live performance by Norwegian Encore’s godmother and Grammy Award-winning singer and television host Kelly Clarkson.
Norwegian Encore will offer seven-day cruises to the Eastern Caribbean from her homeport in Miami beginning November 23, 2019. These itineraries include fan-favorite destinations such as San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola; as well as enough days at sea to truly enjoy the cruise ship activities that make Norwegian Encore such an exciting addition to the Norwegian fleet. Speaking of exciting – Norwegian Encore is bringing incomparable thrills to the sea, including the world’s longest race track at sea; the largest outdoor laser tag arena; and a brand-new immersive gaming experience in the Galaxy Pavilion.
