"We're very pleased to build all these innovative ships for Norwegian Cruise Line," said Bernard Meyer, managing partner of Meyer Werft.
Prior to the Breakaway class ships, Meyer Werft built Norwegian's four Jewel-class ships: Norwegian Gem delivered in 2007, Norwegian Pearl and Norwegian Jade delivered in 2006, and Norwegian Jewel delivered in 2005. These two new Breakaway Plus vessels on order will be the tenth and eleventh that the cruise line will build with Meyer Werft.
