Norwegian Cruise Line has selected the final names for our two new ships: Norwegian Breakaway, Launching in April 2013, and Norwegian Getaway, Launching in 2014.

These names best reflected the innovation of the brand along with the freedom and flexibility of the line's

signature Freestyle Cruising and invoked the feeling that these ships will provide a "break" at sea from the stress of everyday life

Breakaway is defined as "a departure or break from routine or tradition" and Getaway is defined as "a place where one escapes for relaxation, vacation, etc."

The contest winners are Kimberly Powell of Lafayette, Louisiana, who first submitted Norwegian Breakaway, and Dennis Hultman of Vienna, Virginia, who first submitted Norwegian Getaway. They will both receive a trip for two to the first ship's inaugural festivities, including the Christening Ceremony.

The Breakaway class ships will each be 144, 017 gross tons and will have approximately 4,000 passenger berths. These new ships will take the best of the best from all of Norwegian's existing ships drawing on the line's experience of having launched 10 ships in the past 10 years.

The names were selected as the culmination of our "Norwegian's Cruising for Names" contest that was held in conjunction with USA Today.
