Miami Beach, FL – February 7, 2014 – Looking to sail the seas on a luxurious getaway while having all the fun amenities the main-land provides? You’re in luck because there’s a new ship in town. Norwegian Getaway, Miami’s newest Ultimate Ship, was christened on Friday afternoon in a star-studded ceremony by the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders, with a rousing finale by musical superstar Armando Christian Perez aka Pitbull and Brooke Burke-Charvet, co-host of Dancing with the Stars, who was the events master of ceremonies. Norwegian Getaway, the largest ship to homeport year-round at PortMiami, kicked off it’s arrival to Miami in style. Throughout the ceremony, which took place in three themed venues around the ship, Norwegian Getaway’s Miami flair was on full display. The ship’s outdoor theater, Spice H20, transformed into the Magic City Lounge with the Miami skyline in the background, where Tito Puente Jr. started the party, followed by the cast of Burn the Floor. The Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders flipped the switch lighting up Miami and the bottle smashed against the side of the ship to officially christen the ship. Pitbull wowed the crowd as he performed some of his most popular songs including his current hit single, Timber. DJ Tracey Young rocked the ship’s Atrium with Trendtracker Tara Gilani, while Miami Splash! on the Pool Deck featured TV personality Louis Aguirre as host, along with a salsa performance from Angelo & Amanda of America’s Got Talent. After a performance by the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders and the official bottle breaking ceremony, Pitbull’s performance capped off the spectacular soiree, attended by celebrities including Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian, Buddy Valastro star of TLC’s the Cake Boss, and artist David Le Batard. Pitbull also introduced his signature Voli brand to cruisers aboard Norwegian for the first time, as Voli – Vodka with Natural Flavors is featured onboard Norwegian Getaway and across the Norwegian fleet, along with two signature drinks including Pitbull’s personal favorite, the Volito, his take on the classic mojito. Norwegian Getaway is looking forward to a very successful inaugural season and will begin it’s weekly seven-day cruises from PortMiami to the Easter Caribbean on Saturday, February 8.
