Meyer Werft in Papenburg is a very busy place these days with several ships already under construction, and yesterday cutting steel for another. You wouldn’t think they’d have room to build any more - but they do.
The yard laid the keel for Norwegian Escape today. It will be the first of a new class of ships to be delivered in October 2015.
The complete article appears in the September 19 edition of Cruise News Daily.
