| Norwegian Encore changes hands

NORWEGIAN Cruise Line took delivery of its newest ship yesterday, Norwegian Encore, with a ceremony on board, in Bremerhaven in northern Germany.

This milestone begins a nearly month-long tour with preview events scheduled in Europe, New York and Miami, including Norwegian Encore’s naming ceremony on 21 Nov.

Shortly after, a team of Australian media and trade boarded the vessel – see page three for more.
