NORWEGIAN SKY
The longest bar in town
One of the most innovative cruise ships afloat, the Norwegian Sky, which boasts the longest bar at sea, was showcased in Dover in October 1999.
The 2,002 guest ship, completed on schedule under the direction of NCL's new building team and marine architects Tillberg Design of Sweden at a cost of $300 million, took the total number of ships in Norwegian Cruise Line's fleet at that time to nine, increasing total capacity to 16,222.
Bill Ellerington, executive director UK & Continental Europe, said: "Norwegian Cruise Line has built a reputation for innovation in the cruise industry and this launch proves that we are continuing to move forward by introducing a superb new ship onto the market. The Norwegian Sky is equipped with some great unique features and the best in on-board entertainment, dining, sports and spa facilities."
 Special features on board include an internet and e-mail coffee bar, a photo gallery using digital cameras so passengers can send cyber-postcards of their voyage to friends and family back at home, "Astroflash" booths which provide guests with a personalised astrological report to predict their future and a fresh cigar rolling service.
As well as the longest bar at sea, a wedding chapel, chocoholics buffet and a "Skymobile" on-deck drinks service, the Norwegian Sky also offers West End-style entertainment.
The dining options on the Norwegian Sky are endless. From the Ciao Chow Restaurant to the Garden Cafe there are restaurants to cater for a variety of tastes. From September guests can sample the culinary delights of chef Henry Haller, a former White House Chef, who has cooked for a number of well known figures including Ginger Rodgers and Cary Grant . Chef Haller will be creating a special "Presidents' Menu" consisting of distinguished dishes and prized recipes served during Haller's years at the White House.
