The five-part docuseries chronicling the Company’s return to cruise journey comes to an end in this final episode following NCL’s Great Cruise Comeback from the U.S. In “Adventure Awaits,” viewers get a front row seat to the West Coast debut of the Brand’s newest innovative ship Norwegian Encore when she commences her first season of cruises to Alaska. The history making journey begins in Seattle, where NCL pioneered voyages to Alaska 21 years ago.

From the elevated culinary offerings, industry leading attractions and Broadway and West End-caliber entertainment, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at how NCL delivers on its commitment to providing safe and unparalleled vacations.
“From the beginning, we wanted to bring guests along on our Great Cruise Comeback journey,” said Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. “Given the level of uncertainty over the last several months many of us have been through, we wanted to reassure travelers that we were doing everything possible to provide the safest vacation experience, while also taking the time to elevate the onboard offerings. Through ‘EMBARK – The Series’ we were able to demonstrate exactly how we were delivering on our commitment. This final episode is filled with so many emotions…and what comes through loud and clear is how excited guests and our crew are to be back out at sea with us.”
