New staterooms, a new restaurant and flat screen televisions among many updates
Miami - May 23, 2011 - Norwegian Dawn is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar refurbishment while the ship is in dry dock in Freeport, Bahamas. The 2,224-passenger ship is receiving extensive renovations including the addition of 28 suites; Moderno Churrascaria, the popular Brazilian steakhouse restaurant introduced on Norwegian Epic; the relocation of the Spinnaker Lounge; and flat screen televisions in all guest and crew staterooms, along with many other exciting updates. The ship will re-enter service on May 27, 2011 in Boston, her new seasonal homeport.
"Norwegian Dawn's refurbishment is very similar to those enhancements made to Norwegian Star last year," said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line's chief executive officer. "We have found Norwegian Star's updates very well received and we expect our guests will appreciate the changes made to Norwegian Dawn as well."
Norwegian Dawn's refurbishment includes:
Technical modifications include the replacement of one engine, as well as preventative maintenance, removal and replacing of both bearings on the port and starboard azipods; application of a new hull coating; and an upgrade to the hot temperature regulation which will reduce energy consumption.
Beginning on May 27, 2011, Norwegian Dawn will sail a series of seven-day Bermuda itineraries departing from Boston every Friday with three days in Bermuda through October 21, 2011, followed by a two-night cruise on October 28, 2011. The ship will reposition to Miami and begin sailing 10 and 11-day Southern Caribbean itineraries through April 8, 2012.
Norwegian Dawn is the second of three Freestyle Cruising ships scheduled for improvements this year. Norwegian Sun completed her dry dock renovations in March and Norwegian Spirit will enter dry dock on September 26, 2011.
