Wiesbaden,
January 17, 2013 – Norwegian Cruise Line is starting off 2013 with
a “bang” by announcing that Norwegian Breakaway, the line’s
newest ship debuting this April, will feature an exciting fireworks
show on every cruise. The environmentally-friendly pyrotechnics
display will dazzle guests on the second to last night at sea each
week, after the ship departs Bermuda during her summer inaugural
season. To view a short animation of the fireworks show, please

Building
on the electrifying theme of the ship’s headlining Broadway show,
Rock of Ages, the awe-inspiring fireworks will be the grand finale of
a decadent 1980s-themed deck party and will be set to a
specially-selected playlist of classic 1980s hits by artists like
Madonna, Devo and Prince.
“All
the incredible entertainment and amenities on Norwegian Breakaway are
going to wow our guests,” said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise
Line’s President and CEO. “We wanted one additional element
that would really blow them away and this incredible fireworks show
is going to take the cruise to a new level of excitement.”
As
guests party the night away at the high-energy party under the stars
in the open-air Spice H2O venue at the aft of the ship, they will be
transported to the 1980s, where music and fun reigned supreme. In a
breath-taking finale, a mesmerising colour-filled fireworks show will
light up the night sky, right above the ship. The fully-produced show
is a visual masterpiece that is set to a playlist of classic ‘80s
hits including “Come on Feel the Noise”, by Quiet Riot; “Whip
It”, by Devo; “Cherish”, by Madonna; “Final Countdown”, by
Europe; and “Purple Rain”, by Prince. As the fireworks blast to
the beat of the music, guests will enjoy an experience unlike
anything else offered at sea on New York’s ship.
The
4.000-passenger Norwegian Breakaway will arrive in her year-round
homeport of New York City on May 7, 2013. The ship will begin weekly
summer 7-night cruises to Bermuda on Sunday May 12, 2013 and the
fireworks will be held on the second to last night of the cruise,
after the ship departs Bermuda. From October 2013 until April 2014,
New York’s ship will offer voyages from the heart of Manhattan to
the Bahamas & Florida and the Southern Caribbean.
To
date, the company has revealed the ship’s ground-breaking design,
including The Waterfront and 678 Ocean Place; a wide range of indoor
and outdoor venues on three dynamic decks that will create a whole
new complex at sea that enhances guests’ connection with the ocean.
Norwegian Breakaway’s entertainment will include three Broadway
shows: five-time Tony nominated Rock of Ages; the dance sensation
Burn the Floor; and Cirque Dreams® & Dinner
Jungle Fantasy. The famed comedy troupe The Second City, Howl at the
Moon duelling pianos, and New York’s own Slam Allen will also
perform on the vessel. Celebrity Chef and Food Network star Geoffrey
Zakarian will also debut his first restaurant at sea on Norwegian
Breakaway: Ocean Blue by Geoffrey Zakarian.
The
top decks of Norwegian Breakaway will feature the first Aqua Park at
sea with five full-size water slides, including twin Free Fall
slides, the first ever at sea, and a three-storey sports complex that
includes the largest ropes course at sea, a nine-hole miniature golf
course, basketball court, rock climbing wall and more.
The
ship will also feature a rich mix of stateroom options including The
Haven by Norwegian™, comprised of 42 Suites at the top of the ship
and 22 additional Suites located throughout the ship; the innovative
Studios, designed and priced for solo travellers; inside, oceanview
and balcony staterooms as well as Mini Suites; Spa Balcony
staterooms, Spa Mini Suites and Spa Suites in close proximity to the
