08 January 2013 - 2013 New Cruise Ships
Posted by: Alan
New Ocean Liners set to debut this year.
The earliest to debut on the ocean, in April, is NCL's Norwegian Breakaway. Based in New York, the 4,000-passenger megaliner will raise the bar for entertainment with the Broadway show ‘Rock of Ages’. Higher levels of accommodation will include access to The Haven featuring a private pool, hot tub, fitness area and ‘courtyard valet’.
One of the most innovative debuts is Princess Cruises' 3,600-passenger Royal Princess, which has a glass-bottomed walkway and bar extending from the top deck over the side of the ship, only 40 metres above the waves. Sailing from June, it will also introduce the Princess Live television studio at sea, hosting concerts, comedy and cookery shows, filmed in front of an audience and broadcast live throughout the ship.
MSC Cruises is introducing the 3,500-passenger MSC Preziosa, featuring the Yacht Club, a Bali-style spa, the longest single-rider waterslide at sea, an infinity pool and adults only area.
The highlight of the small ships is Hapag-Lloyd's 516-passenger, all-suite, all-balcony Europa 2. Positioned as the modern sister ship of the award-winning Europa, it has eight gourmet restaurants and all cruises will be conducted in English.
