The line today announced the 4,000-passenger vessel, which debuts in May 2013, will operate a series of 25 seven-night cruises to the region starting on Oct. 13, 2013. The ship also will sail two 12-night Southern Caribbean itineraries out of New York on Jan. 5 and 19, 2014, along with two short “Weekend Escape” cruises on Jan. 17 and 31, 2014.
As previously announced, the Norwegian Breakaway will spend its first summer sailing out of New York to Bermuda on a seven-night itinerary. At 144,00 tons, the ship will be the largest ever to be based year-round in the city.
The newly announced Bahamas and Florida cruises will depart on Sundays and include stops in Nassau, Bahamas; Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian’s private island in the Bahamas; and Port Canaveral, Fla. (gateway to theme park mecca Orlando). The sailings will run through April 27, 2014.
