NEW YORK -- The Norwegian Dawn departed Sunday on the first of its
year-round, seven-day Bahamas/Florida cruises from New York.
Norwegian Cruise Line unveiled four cruises from New York on the
Dawn: two 10-day and two 11-day southern Caribbean cruises in
January and early February. NCL said the new itineraries came in
response to travel agents who "asked for a longer itinerary that
reaches further south in the heart of winter," said senior vice
president Andy Stuart. The new cruises were to go on sale
today.
Meanwhile, NCL inked a four-year deal with Philadelphia
authorities to sail at least 29 cruises to Bermuda from the port of
Philadelphia.
That deal includes a partnership with the Greater Philadelphia
Tourism Marketing Corp. to develop "Freestyle Philly," an
initiative that will provide NCL passengers with discounts around
the city.
