In attendance were executives from Norwegian Cruise Line, including Andy Stuart, president and chief executive officer, and Robin Lindsay, executive vice president of vessel operations, representatives from MEYER WERFT including Bernard and TimMeyer, managing partners of the German-based shipyard, the ship’s captain, hotel director and Vitalijs Smorodinovs of the Bahamas Maritime Authority, where Norwegian Bliss will be flagged. Later today, the ship will cruise to Southampton, England where she will begin her transatlantic journey on April 21. Norwegian Bliss will arrive to her first homeport at Pier 66 in Seattle, Washington on May 30, where the official christening ceremony will take place. When she returns on June 2, she will embark on her first seven-day voyage to Alaska. “Norwegian Bliss is one of our most highly-anticipated ships to date, and today marks another exciting milestone for the newest and most innovative ship of our young and modern fleet,” said Andy Stuart, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. “The MEYER WERFT team, along with our operations teams, ship officers and crew members, has done an incredible job bringing Norwegian Bliss to life and we cannot wait for guests to experience all she has to offer.” “We’re happy to deliver another ship to Norwegian Cruise Line,” said Bernard Meyer, managing partner of MEYER WERFT. “We are extremely proud of our partnership of over 15 years and are confident that the first ship custom-built for cruising to Alaska will exceed the expectations of their guests.” Norwegian Bliss, the third ship in the line’s Breakaway Plus class, the most successful class in the company’s history, is the first cruise ship specifically designed with features and amenities for the ultimate Alaska cruising experience. Beginning June 2018, Norwegian Bliss will spend her summer cruising seven-day voyages to Alaska, and fall season cruising to the Mexican Riviera from Los Angeles. In winter of 2018, she will sail the Caribbean from Miami, and in the 2019 fall/winter season she will cruise from New York City to Florida, the Bahamas and Caribbean.

    MAY, 2018 VOLUME XXXV, # 5 Friday, May 18, 2018 - 6:00 PM THE MOST INTERESTING SHIP IN THE WORLD A FOUR-NIGHT PASSAGE ON THE HARSHA VARDHANA By Tom Rinaldi Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan This past January, WSS PONY member Tom Rinaldi sailed out of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) aboard what in his view might well be the most interesting ship in the world: the Shipping Corporation of India's 9,700-gross-ton MV HARSHA VARDHANA, which entered service in 1974. If the HARSHA VARDHANA isn't quite everyone's idea of the world's most interesting ship, she is indisputably one of the world's very last true ocean liners, making line voyages carrying passengers and cargo across the Bay of Bengal. Please join us for an evening in which Tom Rinaldi will describe his four-night passage from Kolkata to the Andaman Islands for an unusual voyage aboard this very unusual ship.
