Clock is ticking for Norwegian

NORWEGIAN Cruise Line (NCL) has today marked exactly six months until the inaugural arrival of its Norwegian Spirit which makes her debut in Australasian waters on 22 Dec.

The visit is the first time Spirit has cruised in Australia after an extensive bow-to-stern US$100 million makeover - the most expensive refurbishment in NCL’s 55-year history.

NCL CEO Harry Sommer said bookings for Norwegian Spirit are “incredibly robust” with guests from across the globe making bookings.

“Australia-New Zealand cruising is back, and it’s more popular than ever,” he enthused, with a total of 10 local voyages on offer between Dec and Mar 2023.

NCL’s sales chief Damian Borg and VP Ben Angell are pictured savouring the Spirit anticipation this morning.
