Norwegian
invites Katie’s audience to join the exclusive inaugural sailing of
Norwegian Breakaway, the line’s newest ship sailing year-round from
New York City starting in May 2013
MIAMI – December 19, 2012 — Norwegian Cruise Line has invited all audience members
and their families from today’s episode of Katie Couric’s talk show, Katie,
onboard the exclusive inaugural sailing of the line’s newest ship,
Norwegian Breakaway, over Mother’s Day weekend, May 10 – 12, 2013.
In the “Katie Gives Back: Holiday Extravaganza,” the talk show’s audience included 150 New York-area mothers who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy.
During the grand prize giveaway, Norwegian Breakaway’s godmothers, the legendary Rockettes®,
presented the audience with the cruise giveaway which will include a
weekend of spectacular dining, entertainment and fun, as the best of New
York sails
to sea aboard Norwegian Breakaway.
“As a New Yorker, I know firsthand the kind of damage Hurricane Sandy
inflicted on this area,” said Kevin Sheehan, chief executive officer of
Norwegian
Cruise Line. “We are so pleased to offer these deserving families a
chance to relax and reconnect during our exclusive inaugural sailing of
Norwegian Breakaway, to experience the luxury, incredible amenities and
wonderful service that New York’s ship has to
offer.”
Setting
sail from her year-round homeport of New York City in May 2013, the
4,000 passenger Norwegian Breakaway is the most-anticipated new ship of
2013. The ship will arrive in
New York on May 7, 2013 and begin weekly summer seven-day cruises to
Bermuda on Sunday, May 12, 2013. From October 2013 through April 2014,
New York’s ship will offer voyages from the heart of Manhattan to the
Bahamas & Florida and the Southern Caribbean.
