OVERVIEW
NORWEGIAN DAWN is a fairly large ship serving
the mass market. However, her interior
appointments and decor are high quality. Indeed,
they rival those of most premium market ships and
high end modern hotels.
Norwegian distinguishes itself from its competitors
through a philosophy of Freestyle Cruising. The
goal is to allow the passenger the maximum in
flexibility in planning his or her day. This manifests
itself most clearly in relation to dining and in things
like disembarkation (i.e., there is no assigned time
when a particular stateroom must be vacated).
Until the winter of 2007-2008, NORWEGIAN
DAWN cruised year-round out of New York. (In
2007-2008, she was replaced by fleet-mate
NORWEGIAN GEM for the winter season). When
Norwegian began this practice in 2003, there was
considerable skepticism in the industry as to whether
a modern cruise ship could handle the sometimes
difficult weather conditions associated with a New
York winter. However, DAWN proved that a
cruise ship could succeed in New York in the winter
and other cruise lines have followed suit.
