NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE PARTNERS WITH SHOWTIME PICTURES
MIAMI, June 17, 2002 – Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)
today announced it has partnered with Showtime Pictures to
provide onboard photography services for passengers.
NCL will provide more options for guests through the use
of digital photography, which allows prints to be reproduced
on key chains, buttons and mugs, as well as traditional photo
albums. The flexibility of custom packages based on specific
destinations and the ships, allow for photographs to be digitally
mastered in 72 different designs, including converting photos
to canvas images.
“We are delighted with this new relationship, and believe
this partnership will further illustrate Freestyle Cruising
by offering passengers more choices in how they want their
vacation memories to be captured,” said Andy Stuart,
senior vice president of marketing and sales for NCL.
Because Showtime Pictures only uses digital equipment, NCL
can offer guests the benefit of seeing their photograph immediately
instead of waiting hours before viewing them in the gallery.
Also, passengers will have the opportunity to e-mail photos
directly from the ship.
“We admire NCL’s innovative nature and see the
flexibility and choice offered by our digital photography
as a good match for the ground breaking Freestyle Cruising
product aboard NCL ships. We are looking forward to adding
to Freestyle Cruising with innovation in the area of on board
photography,” Kemal Arin, President of Showtime Pictures
says.
Showtime Pictures has 37 locations worldwide at popular tourist
highlights including Elvis Pressley’s Graceland, NASA
Space Center Houston, and the Eiffel Tower Experience in Las
Vegas.
Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line is an international cruise
company and industry innovator that currently operates a fleet
of nine ships sailing to more than 140 ports around the world.
NCL plans to take delivery of its newest member the Norwegian
Dawn, a 2,200-passenger sister ship to Norwegian Star, in
December of this year.
