| NCL Names Project America Ships |
Norwegian Cruise Line announces it has named its two Project America ships.
Project America I, the purpose-built ship for Hawaiian inter-island
cruising, which launches next year, will be called "Pride of America." That
ship, originally commissioned by the now-defunct U.S. Lines, is the first
ocean-going newbuild to carry the American flag in half-a-decade. Pride of
America begins service in Hawaii in July 2004, and will sail week-long
inter-island itineraries.
The second in the NCL Project America duo is Norwegian Sky, which will be
reflagged into the U.S. registry and will sail under a new name: Pride of
Aloha. As part of its transition, Norwegian Sky-to-Pride-of-Aloha will
undergo a major refurbishment (details to be announced, according to NCL).
The ship will launch in October 2004 and sail three- and four-day all-Hawaii
itineraries.
Both Pride of America and Pride of Aloha will be staffed with a ratio of 100
percent U.S. crew members. | |
