Norwegian brings Joy to China

Norwegian Joy has been configured for the Chinese market, complete with go-kart track and Tai Chi garden. Susan Parker reports.

Norwegian Joy may be a sister ship to Norwegian Escape in terms of the platform it is built on but there the similarities end. The Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) 167,800gt newbuilding is under construction at Meyer Werft in Papenburg for delivery on April 27 2017. It is destined to sail out of Shanghai and Tianjin and is the result of much research into the targeted Chinese market.
