Norwegian Cruise Line's next two ships will have somewhat smaller "ship-within-a-ship" luxury enclaves for high paying passengers than its last vessel.
The cruise holiday line recently announced the two as-yet-unnamed ships, scheduled to debut in April 2013 and April 2014, will have private luxury complexes of 42 suites, 30% fewer than on the one-year-old Norwegian Epic.
At 144,017 tons a piece, the two new vessels will be about 8% smaller than the 155,873-ton Norwegian Epic, which has a 60-suite private complex.
Each of the luxury complexes on the two new ships will include a private pool area, restaurant, cocktail bar and concierge desk. To be called The Haven, they'll be located at the top front of the vessels.
Norwegian says the 42 suites in the new complexes will be comprised of two large Deluxe Owner's Suites that feature a living room, dining area and wrap-around balcony; two smaller Owner's Suites; 21 two-bedroom, two-bathroom Family Villas; and 17 Courtyard Penthouses that contain a single king size bed, living area and dining area.
The line on Monday also announced plans for eight more aft-facing penthouses and 10 forward-facing penthouses on the new ships that are not part of the Haven.

This looks wonderful!! How exciting! I'm really looking forward to seeing more design pictures - I wonder what names they will chose?
