Norwegian Gem

Sister ship, Norwegian Pearl

Norwegian Gem is the fourth of NCL's Jewel Class ships. She was preceded by Norwegian Jewel in 2005, and both Norwegian Jade (originally Pride of Hawaii) and Norwegian Pearl in 2006.

Each ship has unique amenities, but has a similar exterior and interior design. Norwegian Gem has a similar exterior appearance to NCL's Dawn Class ships; the Norwegian Star, which entered service in 2001, and the Norwegian Dawn, which entered service in 2002. The interior design and amenities, however, are significantly different and merit Norwegian Gem a Jewel Class designation.
