Norwegian Cruise Line has revealed the hull artwork for Norwegian Encore. Award-winning Spanish artist Eduardo Arranz-Bravo has created the design for the ship, which debuts in Miami in November 2019.
The artwork will feature colors inspired by the artist's life by the sea in Barcelona.
"Norwegian Cruise Line is a dynamic, pioneering company known for its innovative experiences and breathtaking collection of beautifully designed ships," said Arranz-Bravo. "I am honored to not only bring that vibrancy to life even more on Norwegian Encore but also showcase my love for the ocean and my hometown of Barcelona."
The president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Frank Del Rio, has long admired the work of Arranz-Bravo.
"We are well-known for our iconic hull designs and know that Arranz-Bravo's lively design will complement the colorful destinations in the Caribbean that Norwegian Encore will visit when she debuts next year," said Del Rio.
Norwegian Cruise Line president and chief executive officer, Andy Stuart, similarly welcomed the artist's contribution to the ship.
"Eduardo's design will be a perfect complement to the collection of hull artwork within our fleet and is a testament to the dynamic experience our guests will have on board," said Stuart. "We are proud to welcome him to our Norwegian Cruise Line family."
The 4,000-passenger Norwegian Encore will complete the Breakaway-Plus class, the most successful class in the line's history. The ship is under construction at Meyer Werft, in Papenburg, Germany. The ship will begin operations on November 17, 2019, cruising out of Miami to the Eastern Caribbean.
