Wiesbaden, October 11, 2012 – Norwegian Cruise Line has announced that Norwegian Getaway will be delivered in late January 2014, earlier than originally scheduled, and will sail a seven-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary from Miami year-round. Carrying 4.000 passengers, Norwegian Getaway will be the largest ship to home port year-round in Miami and will be designed to give guests a taste of Miami whilst on board.

“We are pleased that Meyer Werft will deliver this incredible vessel three months earlier than scheduled,” said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Norwegian Getaway is going to offer a fantastic cruise opportunity sailing to the Eastern Caribbean.”

Beginning February 2, 2014, Norwegian Epic will depart Miami on Sundays and sail a Western Caribbean itinerary. Ports of call include: Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico.
