NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE AND NEW YORK GIANTS EXTEND PARTNERSHIP FOR A SECOND YEAR

NCL again designated as “Preferred Cruise Line”

Miami, October 23, 2003 – Today, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) kicks off its second partnership year with the New York Giants again becoming the team’s “Preferred Cruise Line.” In addition, the company will host its second annual Game Day promotion and award one lucky fan a 7-day cruise vacation at halftime of the Giants’ Nov. 9, 2003 contest with the Atlanta Falcons. The cruise award is just one of several giveaways planned for the game day promotion at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

NCL will also host pre- and post-game celebrations in the stadium’s Touchdown Club for area travel agents, and offer fans a number of promotional gifts from kiosks set up around the stadium.

NCL’s sponsorship of the New York Giants continues the company’s commitment to the New York community, in which its 2,224-passenger Norwegian Dawn calls home.

“As the only cruise ship to be in New York every week of the year, we want to be good neighbors and one way we can do that is by showing our support for one of New York’s greatest sporting institutions, the New York Giants,” said Andy Stuart, NCL’s executive vice president of marketing, sales and passenger services. “This support for the Giants compliments our sponsorships with other New York institutions such as the New York Philharmonic and the New York Aquarium.”

Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line is an industry innovator. NCL recently announced NCL America, under which its US flagged ships will operate. The company is building the US Flagged ship Pride of America, which begins Hawaii cruises on July 4, 2004. NCL is also the leader in roundtrip cruising from U.S. and Canadian ports, offering its Homeland Cruising program seasonally from Baltimore, Boston, Charleston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, Philadelphia, San Juan, Seattle and Vancouver, and year round from New York, Houston and Honolulu.
