History

AI-generated

Norwegian Pearl is the third Jewel-class ship built for Norwegian Cruise Line and serves as a training vessel for new or returning crew members. The ship gained attention when her passage under a power line on the Ems River in Germany was claimed to be the source of the massive European blackout on November 4, 2006. Norwegian Pearl has hosted numerous themed cruises featuring musical artists, rock bands including Kiss and Paramore, and fan-focused events such as Walker Stalker Cruise and Star Trek-themed voyages.
