History

Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Joy is a Breakaway Plus-class ship built by Meyer Werft in Germany and delivered to the company's fleet, marking the company's first purpose-built vessel designed for the Chinese market. The ship experienced two fires during construction, the first attributed to welding work, though these incidents did not prevent her from entering service. Wang Leehom served as the ship's sponsor at her christening.
