Norwegian Jewel Calls Antigua

With the exchange of gifts and pleasantries underway and all the stakeholders present for the welcome party of the inaugural visit of the three-month old Norwegian Jewel, Antigua´s Tourism Minister Harold Lovell used the opportunity to forge closer ties with the cruise line.

The Norwegian Jewel is the fourth ship added to the Norwegian fleet, with Antigua & Barbuda being the only port of call in the Caribbean. This –Lovell said- speaks volumes and demonstrates the confidence and the trust that is developing between Antigua & Barbuda and the Norwegian cruise lines.

The Norwegian cruise lines, according to Lovell, is known as the classic brand and said that an addition to its fleet signals the extension of the bonds of friendship and co-operation between the two entities.

Mr. Lovell added the number of visitors it would bring to Antigua will make a meaningful contribution to the Antiguan economy.
