NORWEGIAN Cruise Line has christened Norwegian Joy, its first ship designed for the Chinese market, in a ceremony held on board in Shanghai.
There were multiple performances by the ship’s godfather, singer songwriter, music producer, actor and film director, Wang Leehom.
A highlight of the event was when Leehom joined NCL execs and govt officials in smashing bottles of champagne against the side of a replica ship hull, which released an oversized bottle of champagne that shattered against the ship’s actual hull.
Norwegian Joy’s christening marks the end of a month-long grand inaugural tour where she has been showcased at the ports of Singapore, Qingdao, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
