Norwegian Getaway to feature Wine Lovers the Musical


  



 Miami’s Ultimate Ship to feature the world’s only wine tasting musical
 
 
MIAMI – December 11, 2013 – Norwegian Getaway, Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship setting sail in January, will feature a new lunchtime entertainment experience for guests, WINE LOVERS THE MUSICAL.

Hailed as a “great evening out” by the New York Post, this interactive show combines musical theatre and comedy with a six flight wine tasting and lunch, and will be yet another unique addition to the largest ship to homeport in Miami year-round.

WINE LOVERS THE MUSICAL tells the story of two mismatched students attending a wine class led by an effervescent teacher and their journey of falling in love. 

Guests attending the show will experience a wine tasting unlike other, as they sample six different wines over lunch all while watching a hilarious musical comedy.
The wine selections include varietals such as Estancia Pinot Grigio, Penfolds Koonunga Hill Chardonnay, Beringer Founders Estate Pinot Noir and North & South, Norwegian’s proprietary Red Blend from California.
 
The musical is directed by Holly-Anne Ruggiero, whose Broadway credits include the international hit Jersey Boys and Billy Crystal’s 700 Sundays, and features a score written by wine expert Michael Green and award winning jazz composer, Gary Negbaur.

The show previously enjoyed Sold Out runs in New York City and New Orleans and is currently available on Norwegian Pearl.  The cost of the experience is $25 per person and will be offered twice per cruise in the Illusionarium Theatre.
 
WINE LOVERS THE MUSICAL is another opportunity for guests onboard Norwegian Cruise Line to learn more about and taste new wines.  Norwegian recently announced a new partnership with the world-renowned Michael Mondavi Family to enhance the line’s wine selection fleet-wide to include an incredible variety of wines specially-selected by Michael, together with his son Rob Jr and daughter Dina, to showcase the family’s rich history.
 
Following inaugural events in Europe, New York and Miami, Norwegian Getaway will sail seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruises departing every Saturday from Miami beginning on February 8, 2014. To book a cruise or learn more about Norwegian Getaway, visit www.getaway.ncl.com.
