Ahoy, ships!
Norwegian Aqua
MSC World America
MSC Cruises is making a splash this year with the launch of MSC World America featuring Drew Barrymore, actress and host of the Drew Barrymore Show, as godmother, and campaign co-star Orlando Bloom set to be on hand at its naming ceremony in April. For a thrilling time, try out Cliffhanger, the only over-water swing ride at sea where cruisers dangle 50 metres above the ocean. Entertainment wise, the ship will debut the first-ever at sea “Dirty Dancing in Concert,” where guests will not only see the classic film but also see it come to life with live singers, dancers and musicians. Foodies will want to chow down at the only Eataly restaurant at sea, serving up high-quality Italian food and wine. Ciao!
Brilliant Lady
Good things come in fours for Virgin Voyages. Brilliant Lady, the fourth in the Lady Ships fleet, will feature four mermaidens – that’s Virgin lingo for inaugural cruises – from New York, Miami, Los Angeles and Seattle. Richard Branson’s adults-only cruise line has garnered rave reviews for doing things a bit differently – including requiring sailors to be 18+. Brilliant Lady will debut with seven new, original productions ranging from Murder in the Manor, an immersive theatre performance that’s influenced by today’s true crime fascination and 1980s murder mystery novels, to Red Hot, a high-energy musical revue through five decades of iconic hits from Virgin Records’ musical catalogue. Brilliant Lady will call on new ports of call for the company, like Bermuda’s pink sandy shores and Alaska’s glacial fjords.
