Bremerhaven, Germany — January 10, 2014 \u2013 Today during a ceremony in Bremerhaven, Norwegian Cruise Line took delivery of the 145,655 gross ton cruise ship Norwegian Getaway from MEYER WERFT after a building period of only 15 months. The ship, the second of two Breakaway Class ships, is being delivered just nine months after the launch of sister-ship Norwegian Breakaway. Following delivery today, the ship is sailing to Rotterdam for the start of inaugural festivities which will continue in Southampton before the ship departs for her transatlantic cruise to New York. The ship will be christened in Miami on February 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team at MEYER WERFT, along with our new build team, operations teams, and all of the ship\u2019s officers and crew have done an amazing job on Norwegian Getaway and we are thrilled with how spectacular the ship looks,\u201d said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line\u2019s chief executive officer. \u201cNorwegian Breakaway revolutionized cruising with its Waterfront and strong connection to New York. Norwegian Getaway will do the same as Miami\u2019s ultimate ship, offering the only way to cruise the Caribbean from Miami with a plethora of incredible features.\u201d<\/p>\n
