History

This ship entered service in August, 2005. She was constructed at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany and was christened on November 3, 2005 at an official ceremony at the Port of Miami. Her godmother is Melania Trump, spouse of Donald Trump.[2]

In an episode of The Apprentice, Donald Trump required the contestants to create a 30-second commercial of the ship, featuring both exterior and interior shots.[3]

Vessel class

Norwegian Jewel is NCL's first of four Jewel-class ships. She was followed in 2006 by Norwegian Jade (originally Pride of Hawaii) and Norwegian Pearl, and then in 2007 by Norwegian Gem. Each ship has unique amenities, but has a similar exterior and interior design.

Norwegian Jewel was preceded at NCL by two Norwegian Star, which entered service in 2001, and Norwegian Dawn, which entered service in 2002. Although the Libra-class ships have a similar exterior appearance to the Jewel class, there are significant interior and amenity differences that merit their different class designation.[4]

Current cruises

Norwegian Jewel currently spends the spring and summer months (May-September) cruising Europe on a variety of itineraries. She also cruises Canada/New England (for a short period of time) in the fall. In the spring and fall, she currently sails various Caribbean itineraries departing round-trip from Miami.

Norwegian Jewel is out of dry dock in Boston, Massachusetts, and has returned to its itinerary on December 5, 2010.

Beginning in 2012 the Norwegian Jewel will move from New York to Alaska replacing the Norwegian Star's Alaska cruises from May to September, sailing on Saturdays. In return for the Norwegian Jewel coming to Alaska the slightly smaller Norwegian Star will replace her in New York.[5]
