| NCL Dawn to Sail from NY |
You’ve heard of “homeland security” -- now there’s “homeland cruising.”
Norwegian Cruise Line has, at last, jumped on the “regional port-based
itineraries” bandwagon and plans to deploy Norwegian Dawn to a seasonal home
port in New York. In what amounts to an unusual combo of ports of call, the
ship, which will sail seven-day itineraries from May - October, will call on
the Bahamas, Miami, Port Canaveral and NCL’s private island.
The New York-based voyages are the highlight of NCL’s 2003 schedule, which
otherwise continues to emphasize the line’s hallmark -- Alaska, South
America, Hawaii and the Caribbean. The 92,000 ton, 2,240-passenger Norwegian
Dawn is NCL’s newest ship (and a sister to Norwegian Star); it’s due to
launch in December 2002 (she’ll sail Caribbean voyages out of Miami in
cold-weather months).
