Singer Reba McEntire Set to Christen Norwegian Epic in New York

    

Norwegian Cruise Line announced that Reba McEntire, one of country music’s leading artists, will christen the company’s newest ship, Norwegian Epic. The christening ceremony will take place in New York on July 2, 2010 on board Norwegian Epic.

McEntire, who recently hosted the 45th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, has achieved legendary status in the music world having sold over 55 million albums worldwide; earned 34 number one singles and won 15 American Music Awards, 12 Academy of Country Music Awards, nine People’s Choice Awards, seven Country Music Association Awards and two Grammy Awards. She is also an avid cruiser and has taken several family cruise vacations, most recently on Norwegian Gem in the Mediterranean.

Norwegian Epic will feature a number of innovations in cruise ship entertainment, including productions of Blue Man Group, Cirque Dreams & Dinner, Legends in Concert, The Second City, Howl at the Moon and Nickelodeon at Sea. In keeping with its focus on exceptional entertainment, NCL said it said that it was fitting that an entertainer like McEntire christen the new ship. “I met Reba and her family on Norwegian Gem and saw how much they were enjoying the freedom and flexibility that Freestyle Cruising offers,” said Kevin Sheehan, CEO of NCL. “Later, I discovered that they are frequent customers on our ships which is why I believe that Reba is the perfect choice to christen our largest and most innovative ship, Norwegian Epic. We are more than thrilled that such a celebrated performer as Reba, who also has experienced our product firsthand, will serve as Norwegian Epic’s Godmother.”

Inaugural festivities for Norwegian Epic will take place in New York at 2 p.m. EST on July 2. In addition, Norwegian Epic will serve as the host venue for the 34th Annual Macy's 4th of July Fireworks event taking place on Sunday, July 4, 2010. The event includes a national, one-hour, live entertainment broadcast on NBC-TV beginning at 9 p.m. EST and takes place on board Norwegian Epic where invited guests will have a front row view of the fireworks display.
