Norwegian Cruise Line Expands Its Commitment To Fitness: Gyms Open "24/7" Fleetwide

All NCL Gyms to Operate 24-hours Per Day, Seven Days Per Week

MIAMI, Fla., October 28, 1999 – Norwegian Cruise Line has expanded its commitment to fitness in announcing that gyms will now operate 24-hours per day, seven days per week, starting November 1 aboard all Norwegian Cruise Line ships.

"The decision to open our gyms 24-hours a day was made to demonstrate our commitment to the fitness needs of our guests," said Art Sbarsky, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales. "Guests sailing on Norwegian Cruise Line have lots of options on how to spend their days whether exploring a port or while at sea. With a 24-hour gym, guests can have their fun and maintain their exercise regimen at their convenience."

In other wellness news, Norwegian Cruise Line recently teamed up with Cooking Light, the world’s largest epicurean magazine to bring innovative light cuisine to the high seas. In the agreement, the first time any cruise line has so broadly integrated a magazine’s cuisine into its own, Norwegian Cruise Line will include more than 100 Cooking Light recipes on all its ships’ breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. These offerings will be incorporated into NCL’s new millennium menus that will be introduced aboard NCL’s newest vessel, the Norwegian Sky, on its maiden Caribbean sailing, November 14, 1999.

Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line Limited is a global cruise company and industry innovator that currently owns or operates a fleet of nine mid-sized ships sailing to more than 200 ports in Alaska, Australia, Bermuda, Canada/New England, Caribbean, Europe (Mediterranean, Baltic and Scandinavia), Hawaii, Mexico, South America and Trans Canal. The company's expansion includes the purchase of Orient Lines (including the M/V Marco Polo) and a joint venture partnership with Norwegian Capricorn Line (Australia, New Zealand).
