Norwegian Cruise Line today announced the names of the line’s two new Breakaway Plus class ships are Norwegian Escape and Norwegian Bliss. Those were the winning names in the “Norwegians Name Their Ships” contest, which asked fans in five countries to help select the names for the line’s two new Breakaway Plus vessels. The contest got more than 100,000 votes in five different countries, including the United States, Canada (excluding Quebec), Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Norwegian’s new Breakaway Plus ships "will be the largest in the line’s fleet at approximately 163,000 gross tons and 4,200 passenger berths each and will be similar in design and innovation to the line’s current Breakaway class, the first of which, Norwegian Breakaway, launched in New York in early May and the second of which, Norwegian Getaway, will launch in January and arrive in her home port of Miami in February."
