On Tuesday Norwegian Cruise Lines announced the names of its two newest ships. In a joint effort with USA Today, Norwegian Cruise Lines held a contest to name its two upcoming ships. Between the dates of July 18 and August 14 nearly a quarter million entries were received. From that pool of entrants five were chosen to be finalists. Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Escape, Norwegian Journey, Norwegian Getaway and the Norwegian Breakaway were the five finalists.
Some of the potential names were submitted by multiple contestants in which case the first person to submit that name was given credit. When the smoke cleared two names were left standing; the Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway. The Norwegian Breakaway was submitted by Kimberly Powell of Lafayette, Louisiana and Dennis Hultman of Vienna, Virginia entered the Norwegian Getaway.
Details on the new ships are scarce right now. What we do know about the new ships is they will hold approximately 4,000 passengers and will debut in April 2013 and 2014. Stay tuned for more details on these new vessels codenamed Project Breakaway.
