Norwegian Dawn

Extensively refurbished from top to bottom, Norwegian Dawn offers the ultimate Freestyle Cruising experience. Dine in Los Lobos Cantina, an upscale Mexican restaurant. Drop by The Cellars, a Michael Mondavi Family Wine Bar for a wine tasting. 

History

This ship entered service at the end of 2002. She was originally intended to operate with Star Cruises under the name SuperStar Scorpio, but it was decided that she would be delivered to Star's subsidiary, Norwegian Cruise Line as Norwegian Dawn.

Norwegian Dawn was the first NCL vessel to utilize hull art. Originally planned as a way to further promote the vessel, the concept was extremely well received and hull art was incorporated to most other NCL vessels, with the exception of those vessels scheduled to transition out of the fleet within the next few years.
