Ahead of Norwegian’s largest ever European deployment, the company has announced that Norwegian Spirit and Norwegian Jade will enter dry docks this autumn for multi-million dollar enhancements.

This follows Norwegian Sun’s enhancements earlier this year, meaning all three ships will be refreshed for the new season before they sail alongside the recently launched Norwegian Epic.

Guests booking onto any of the four Norwegian Cruise Line ships sailing Europe next year can receive up to $500 free on board spending money as part of Norwegian’s ‘Book Early – Cruise Happy’* promotion which has now been extended until 31 October 2011.

Norwegian Spirit has just entered a 13-day dry dock in Alabama. The 2,018-passenger ship is receiving renovations including:

• Installing wireless internet access throughout the entire ship including crew areas;
• New flat screen televisions in staterooms;
• Upgrades to accessible guest staterooms and the addition of ramps in various areas of the ship;
• Replacement of 64,000 square feet of carpet throughout the ship;
• Addition of new silk plants throughout the ship;
• Enhancements to the Stardust Theatre;
• Addition of an aerobics room in the Roman Spa and Fitness Centre for spinning, yoga and various fitness classes;
• Updates to Raffles Court, the ship’s buffet restaurant.

Norwegian Jade will enter dry dock in Marseille, France in November 2011. During this time, the 2,402-passenger ship will receive the line’s signature Brazilian steakhouse, Moderno Churrascia, replacing Paniolo’s Tapas and Salsa restaurant on Deck 8.
