Following news that
Celebrity Cruises has carried out extensive renovations onboard
Celebrity Summit,
NCL has taken interior redesign one step further.
Norwegian Cruise Lines has claimed that its New Wave Staterooms are the most "innovative" living quarters in the cruise industry.
Demonstrating a "completely fresh" angle on bathroom and stateroom design, the design is based on contemporary curved architecture and open living spaces.
"From the introduction of the first
Caribbean cruise more than 41 years ago to the launch of Freestyle Cruising in 2000 and beyond,
NCL has always blazed a trail of innovation," Colin Veitch, president of the cruise line, commented.
He added that the "sleek" staterooms are designed to fit the needs of the cruise passenger of the future.
Changes have been made to bathrooms, balconies and staterooms with the bathrooms boasting separate water closets, vanity top sinks, showers and bathtubs.
In addition to the unique curved walls, staterooms are also fitted with concealed contour LED lighting, back-lit domed ceilings, comfortable seating areas, mini bars and a flat-screen TV.
