NCL TO CRUISE TO BERMUDA FOR NEXT TEN YEARS

Bermuda is a great cruise destination, and those living in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern USA can easily drive to an embarkation port. Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) and the Bermuda Government recently announced that they have reached a long-term agreement that calls for two of NCL's ships to be deployed to Bermuda for the next 10 years, commencing 2009 and running through 2018. These ships will predominantly depart from New York and Boston and will each sail at least 22 cruises per season, making extended calls in Bermuda. The combined itineraries of the two vessels will provide for overnights in Bermuda from Sunday through Friday.

In 2009, the 2000-passengers Norwegian Spirit will sail from Boston to Bermuda, departing on Fridays, calling in Bermuda from Sunday through Wednesday. The 2200-passenger Norwegian Dawn will sail from New York on Sundays, calling in Bermuda from Wednesday through Friday. Also in 2009, Norwegian Majesty (the ship which has served NCL's Boston-Bermuda business for 15 years) will sail to St. George's, Bermuda from Charleston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
