Does anyone have any information and/pictures on the original NCL white ships (i.e. seaward (1st one), skyward, southward, westward, starward, sunward,sunward II,) I am very confused! Also, does anyone have any pictures of what the DREAMWARD, WINDWARD, SEAWARD looked like? so in other words, the original NORWEGIAN CARIBBEAN LINE! This information is greatly appreciated.
thanx!

A lot of the pictures are on this site, just go to the main cruise page at www.cruisepage.com and click on the NCL page or the page of the line the ship is currently sailing for. Alternatively, you can go to the main page www.travelpage.com and type in the name of the ship you are looking for in the search form.

I got back from the Seawing (Southward) last week and thouroughly enjoyed it. I was emailed some pics of the old white fleet before, and will gladly forward them to you. Email me if you want them, but I will have to ask the permission of the person who took the pictures first.
