Norwegian Wind

Originally built as the Windward in 1993, this ship was renamed Norwegian Wind in 1998 following a spectacular stretching operation carried out by Lloyd Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven, Germany. The addition of the 131 ft. mid-section significantly improved the exterior appearance of this formerly rather "chubby" vessel.

Excerpt From NCL's Web Site
About the Norwegian Wind

The Norwegian Wind... Window to the World! Glass-enclosed terraces surround you. Expansive walkways lead to broad, pool-side decks. The dining rooms, the lounges, even the fitness center present panoramic views of the open sea. In almost every stateroom, a picture window or a floor-to-ceiling window puts the world at your feet. And with the addition of Freestyle Cruising and a 130-foot midsection, the completely refurbished Norwegian Wind is virtually brand new.

The Norwegian Wind feels wide open and wonderfully uncrowded. The decks are extra-wide. Lounges, showrooms and even the casino are grand-scaled. Staterooms are roomy, and 85% come with an ocean view.
