NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE'S NORWEGIAN STAR SCHEDULED
TO ARRIVE IN MIAMI EARLY
NCL Offers Florida Residents Two One-Night
Preview Cruises Onboard Norwegian Star
Miami - November 6, 2001 - Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) today
announced its brand new ship, Norwegian Star will arrive in
Miami from the shipyard in Holland on Nov. 14th instead of
Nov. 15th as originally planned. To celebrate its early arrival
and commemorate the inaugural season of Norwegian Star, NCL
is offering two one-night, preview cruises to Florida residents
on Nov.15 and 16.
Norwegian Star is NCL's second ship purpose-built for the
line's innovative Freestyle Cruising concept, the largest
and fastest vessel in the fleet and the first ship custom-designed
for the Hawaii Market.
Norwegian Star is a ship like no other - it features 10
different restaurants and 11 different menus, boats more than
500 staterooms and suites with private balconies and is home
to two, 5,300 square feet Garden Villas, each featuring a
large living room, dining room, three separate ensuite bedrooms
with entertainment center and luxury bath with whirlpool tub

it does not normally have an onboard casino. However, NCL
has installed a casino for the one night preview cruises.

Star and wanted to offer Florida residents the opportunity
to sail on her first US voyages," said Andy Stuart, senior
