Meyer Werft today cut the first steel for Norwegian Breakaway, the first of two new builds for Norwegian Cruise Line. The ship is set for delivery in April 2013.
The first plate of steel took four minutes to cut by a plasma torch in the Papenburg facility. This plate will become a supporting part of the double bottom in the middle of the new ship.
Norwegian ceo Kevin Sheehan, on hand for the event, said the next-generation Freestyle Cruising ship ‘will captivate and amaze our guests.’
Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway, coming in spring 2014, will each measure 144,017gt with approximately 4,000 berths.
