Norwegian Breakaway leaves construction docks

Norwegian Breakaway, the largest ship ever constructed in Germany, has been floated out of Meyer Werft’s covered building dock II.

Situated in Papenburg, Germany, the 146,600-ton ship has been under construction since September 2011. 

Beginning at approximately 07:00, the massive 4,000 passenger ship with her signature hull artwork designed by pop icon Peter Max, departed building dock II as the first ship to depart bow first. 

Norwegian Breakaway has an overall length of 324 meters, and is 39.7 meters wide.

The ship’s float out represents a major milestone in the vessel’s construction as it denotes that the ship has now moved into the final phase of construction with delivery taking place in just 58 days.
