On November 7th it was reported that the former Project America hull intended for Hawaii service (now owned by Norwegian Cruise Line) was is on its way to Europe from Pascagoula, Mississippi.
She is under tow from an ocean-going tug bound for an undisclosed destination, possibly Germany.

Hopefully better than she does above? Nice picture, Pam. Well found.
I do hope NCL has redesigned this portion of the ship- along with the funnel. I know for certain that NCL has redesigned the aft sections that have not been completed in order to accomodate more "freestyle" dinning options.
This ship has potential- its just a matter of how creative NCL gets, and how much money they are willing to spend to design a beatiful ship rather than a nasty one.

Do we have any details of how that will change as an NCL newbuild (well second-hand build, really)?

72,000 tons, 1900 passengers, 950 crew, and 840 feet in length.
The only reports I have heard about changes involves redesigning the aft sections of the ship that have not yet been assembled. NCL wants to add more dinning options to the ship, and modifying sections that have not yet been built is the easiest way to accomplish this. I hope the changes extend beyond this, but I don't know.

I heard that it is a 40 day tow? If so, that is one hell of a repositioning cruise!
Presumably this is the one most completed.
Any scuttlebut as to what is happening with the other one?
And, there is the coastal ship, "Cape Cod Light" unfinished, as I recall. Any facts on this one?
And finally there is the "Cape May Light" also a coaster which made one voyage along the Atlantic littoral before the demise of the line. What of this vessel?
It would seem to be a good fit with the Nantucket Clipper fleet, if the price was right.

Does any here know anything about the future of the Cape May Light and the Cape Cod Light? I heard a rumor once that they had been sold to an Alaskan cruise line as part of Voyager cruises or something, but as far as I know nothing ever came of that.
