"Norwegian Sky has been in high demand since we brought her to Miami to sail three and four-day Bahamas cruises last year; and therefore we wanted to give her a beautiful new look for the summer season and beyond," said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line's chief executive officer. "The ship is the perfect getaway as it offers great value for money for families, friends and couples alike looking to relax and escape the everyday."

Norwegian Sky's total refurbishment includes:

• reupholstering all 1,000 seats in the Stardust Theater;

• major updates to 14 suites which received new wallpaper; new marble tiles in the showers and tubs; and refinishing all wood work including the teak around the whirlpools on the suite balconies;

• improvements to Dazzles Bar and Nightclub, including refinishing of the dance floor; reupholstering of the club's chairs and bar stools and removal of banquette seating creating additional room on the dance floor;

• new upholstery to all of the seating in the Atrium;

• installation of new food stations in the Garden Café, Norwegian's signature action station restaurant, along with refurbishment of Il Adagio, the ship's Italian restaurant;

• the addition of three new staterooms; and

• repainting of the colorful murals surrounding the pool area.
