Norwegian Jewel is a cruise ship operated by Norwegian Cruise Line. She is the lead vessel of NCL's Jewel class cruise ships and entered service in 2005.
This ship entered service on 4 August 2005. She was constructed at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany and was formally named on November 3, 2005 in a ceremony at the Port of Miami. Her godmother is Melania Trump, wife of the business magnate Donald Trump who would later become President of the United States.
In an episode of The Apprentice, Trump required his contestants to create a 30-second commercial of the ship, featuring both exterior and interior shots.
The final episode of the third season of Transparent takes place entirely aboard the ship, as established by exterior shots of the ship's name and distinctive markings, and the ship's Spinnaker Lounge is referenced by name and is the location for a key scene in the episode.
Norwegian Jewel underwent a dry dock in October-November 2018.
Norwegian Jewel is NCL's first of four Jewel-class ships. She was followed in 2006 by Norwegian Jade (originally Pride of Hawaii) and Norwegian Pearl, and then in 2007 by Norwegian Gem. Each ship has unique amenities, but has a similar exterior and interior design.
Norwegian Jewel was preceded at NCL by two Libra-class ships; Norwegian Star, which entered service in 2001, and Norwegian Dawn, which entered service in 2002. Although the Libra-class ships have a similar exterior appearance to the Jewel class, there are significant interior and facility differences that merit their different class designation.
Norwegian Jewel is scheduled to spend winter 2019/2020 undertaking cruises in Australia & New Zealand, Asia, and the South Pacific.
