A colorful eye catcher, the new Norwegian Breakaway cruise ship is ready to set sail in April 2013. The state-of-the-art, 4,000-passenger ship in the Norwegian Cruise Line has many reasons to attract travelers.
Here are 10 interesting tidbits about the newest beauty on the ocean:
1. Norwegian Breakaway will homeport year-round in New York City.
