Norwegian Cruise Line expands partnership with Margaritaville® - UK-

Successful concept to debut in the Baltic in summer 2017 on board Norwegian Getaway

Norwegian Cruise Line has today announced the expansion of its exclusive partnership with Margaritaville®. As a part of The Norwegian Edge™, a $400 million investment program dedicated to delivering an exceptional onboard experience, Norwegian will introduce new Margaritaville® at Sea restaurants onboard Norwegian Getaway and Norwegian Breakaway this fall.

Building on its success and popularity on board Norwegian’s newest ship, Norwegian Escape, Margaritaville® at Sea onboard Norwegian Getaway and Norwegian Breakaway will bring to life nostalgic island moments with a tropical menu that features signature items like the Cheeseburger in Paradise and Who's to Blame Margarita, available à la carte, in an open air-eatery offering stunning ocean views.

“Norwegian Cruise Line has been bringing guests to paradise for nearly 50 years,” said Andy Stuart, President and Chief Operating Officer for Norwegian Cruise Line. “With the expansion of our partnership with Margaritaville to our Breakaway Class ships, our guests will now be able to enjoy the island lifestyle before the ship has even left port.”

Margaritaville® at Sea will open 18 September aboard Norwegian Getaway in the former Flamingo Grill, and on 9 October aboard Norwegian Breakaway in the former Uptown Grill.

"We are excited to expand our relationship with Norwegian Cruise Line, allowing even more guests to escape to the Margaritaville state of mind," said John Cohlan, chief executive officer of Margaritaville®. "Norwegian shares our philosophy that combines fun with exceptional service and we look forward to continuing to take this partnership to new sea levels."
