Norwegian Cruise Line Unveils The Norwegian Encore Hull Art
Norwegian
Cruise Line today revealed that Eduardo Arranz-Bravo, the award-winning
Spanish artist, created the hull artwork for the fourth and final ship
of its Breakaway-Plus class, Norwegian Encore, debuting in Miami in
November 2019.
A
representation of his modern and abstract style, the ship’s hull will
feature a labyrinth of color inspired by Arranz-Bravo’s life by the sea
in Barcelona and paying tribute to the vibrant guest experience for
which the Norwegian brand is recognized.
“Norwegian
Cruise Line is a dynamic, pioneering company known for its innovative
experiences and breathtaking collection of beautifully designed ships,”
said Arranz-Bravo. “I am honored to not only bring that vibrancy to life
even more on Norwegian Encore but also showcase my love for the ocean
and my hometown of Barcelona.”
Frank
Del Rio, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line
Holdings, played a key role in the selection of Arranz-Bravo as the
hull artist for Norwegian Encore, having been inspired by his work for
many years. Del Rio’s passion for the arts has helped elevate
Norwegian’s on-board experience, most recently with the
multi-million-dollar-art collection curated for Norwegian Bliss.
“We
are well-known for our iconic hull designs and know that Arranz-Bravo’s
lively design will complement the colorful destinations in the
Caribbean that Norwegian Encore will visit when she debuts next year,”
said Del Rio.
Recognized
for his inventive and humanistic approach to abstract art,
Arranz-Bravo’s work is showcased throughout the world and portrays a
constant evolution that some refer to as futuristic. He
is highly regarded, having been the recipient of countless awards and
accolades, and was one of three artists chosen to represent the 1992
Olympic games in Barcelona.
“Eduardo’s
design will be a perfect complement to the collection of hull artwork
within our fleet and is a testament to the dynamic experience our guests
will have on board,” said Andy Stuart, president and chief executive
officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. “We are proud to welcome him to our Norwegian Cruise Line family.”
At approximately 167,800 gross tons and accommodating up to 4,000 guests, Norwegian Encore
will complete the Breakaway-Plus class, the most successful class in
the company’s history. She is currently being built at Meyer Werft, in
Papenburg, Germany and will feature many innovative dining,
entertainment and recreational activities that guests have come to
expect from the industry-leading brand.
Following her unveiling, she will cruise out of Miami every Sunday and sail seven-day voyages to the Eastern Caribbean, beginning with her first journey on November 17, 2019 through April 12, 2020.
