History
The Norwegian Jewel was launched in August, 2005. She was constructed at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
Vessel Class
Norwegian Jewel is NCL's third SuperStar class vessel. She was preceeded by Norwegian Star, and Norwegian Dawn. She was followed one year later by Pride of Hawaii. Two more SuperStar vessels are currently under construction at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. Norwegian Pearl will launch in 2006, and Norwegian Gem in 2007. Each SuperStar vessel has a similar outward appearance, but each is unique in terms of accommodations.
