As construction begins on Norwegian Cruise Line’s fourth Breakaway Plus Class ship, the line has unveiled its name as the Norwegian Encore.
The 4,000-passenger vessel is due in late October 2019 when it begins weekly Caribbean cruises from PortMiami.
Reservations for the itineraries go live in March, Norwegian said.
"Norwegian Encore will be the ultimate Breakaway Plus Class vessel and we are thrilled to celebrate the start of construction for this incredible new ship," said president and CEO Andy Stuart.
"We continue building on our legacy of innovation with this brand-new state-of-the-art vessel perfect for exploring the natural beauty of some of the most remarkable islands."
Norwegian Encore becomes the 17th ship in the line’s fleet and the fourth and final Breakaway Plus Class vessel.
The line says more details about the ship’s design, accommodations and amenities will be released soon.
