Norwegian Cruise Line has announced the name of its first purpose built ship for the China market.
The line will christen the ship ‘Norwegian Joy’ which translates as ‘Xi Yue Hao’ in Chinese.
Both names will appear on the hull.
The 3,900-passenger ship is the second Breakaway plus class vessel and is scheduled to begin sailing in 2017.
"After closely studying the Chinese cruise market for several years, we wanted to be clear about what we will deliver to our guests on this spectacular vessel," said Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings CEO Frank Del Rio.
"Norwegian Joy will provide the same sense of freedom and flexibility found on all Norwegian Cruise Line ships, but with resort-style vacation experiences and amenities designed specifically with the Chinese guest in mind."
