NCL announce a 3rd new ship

Norwegian Cruise line (NCL) have already recently announced that 2 new ships are being built for them (the Breakaway and the Getaway).  Now it has been announced that they will be building a 3rd ship, codenamed the Breakaway Plus.

With Breakaway less than a year away and Getaway running ahead of schedule, Norwegian Cruise Line has announced the new ship will be due for delivery in October 2015.

The new ship will be larger than Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway, coming in at 163,000-gross tons and housing 4,200 passengers. Once completed, it will be the largest ship in Norwegian’s fleet.

Breakaway Plus will be built at Meyer Werft GMBH shipyard in Germany, where both Breakaway-class ships are under construction. The cruise line’s four Jewel-class ships also were built at Meyer Werft.

Norwegian cruise line is also maintaining the option for a fourth ship, for delivery in spring 2017.

I personally think that this is great news as I have been getting consistently good feedback from passengers returning from NCL cruises this year.  I really think NCL are doing great things at the moment.
