NCL Corporation (NCL) has unveiled the colourful hull artwork for its fourth Jewel-class ship, Norwegian Gem, scheduled for delivery in October 2007.
Norwegian Gem's artwork sparkles along both sides of the hull, featuring an eye-catching array of colourful gems tumbling from the bow to almost the middle of the ship. To create the look and feel of forward motion, the gems at the front are clustered together and start to disperse toward the end of the graphic. The gem colours run through a spectrum of ruby, amber, gold, emerald, sapphire, indigo and violet in a variety of different sizes.
"Our distinctive hull art makes our ships instantly recognisable, conveying their distinctive personality and the fun and freedom found onboard," says Colin Veitch, NCL Corporation's president and CEO.
"Our guests love the hull art, so we are giving them the opportunity to take home a piece of the artwork with our new signature souvenir glasses."
The signature glasses are available onboard all NCL and NCL America ships and can be bought individually or in sets.
Norwegian Gem has many excellent restaurants, vibrant public rooms and versatile, family-friendly accommodation, including the popular Courtyard Villas, which, along with the ship's Garden Villas, are among the most innovative suite complexes at sea.
Norwegian Gem will also offer the industry's second onboard bowling alley, which will open later this year on her sister ship, Norwegian Pearl. - Travel 2006, Saturday Argus
