AUGUST 2018 Norwegian Bliss on display! Norwegian Bliss completed yet another milestone, as she made her way to her home port of Seattle, becoming the largest passenger ship to transit the Panama Canal since the completion of the canal’s expansion project in 2016. As the newest and largest Norwegian Cruise Line ship at over 168,000 gross tons and a capacity of 4,004, double occupancy, she passed through the new set of locks, on both the Atlantic and Pacific sides. The new locks were constructed as part of the biggest enhancement project since the canal's opening in 1914. Norwegian Bliss cruised through the canal, on her way to Los Angeles, California, and completed her first Panama Canal cruise on Friday, 25 May. Norwegian Cruise Line took delivery of Norwegian Bliss in Bremerhaven, Germany on 19 April 2018, after which she began her inaugural tour. Her exhibition commenced with a preview event for the European market, before she embarked on her transatlantic voyage on 21 April. Upon her arrival to the U.S., preview events took place in New York City (4-6 May), Miami (8-10 May), Los Angeles (25-27 May) and Seattle where she celebrated her official christening (May 30-June 2).
