Norwegian Cruise Line is set to install energy-efficient scrubbing technology on new ships. The third and fourth Breakaway Class ships will have the scrubbers on board.
Cruisecritic.com reported that they reduce sulfur emissions in the cruise ship and allow the ship to operate on heavy fuel rather than the .1 percent sulfur limit during sales in Emission control areas which are "200 nautical miles bordering the U.S. and Canadian coasts -- beginning January 1, 2015."
"Norwegian Cruise Line has a history of innovation along with a commitment to utilizing green technology whenever possible," Norwegian Chief Executive Officer Kevin Sheehan said in a news release reported cruisecritic. "Installing scrubbers from Green Tech Marine on our new Breakaway Plus vessels is a smart decision and one that will ensure these ships are as eco-friendly as possible."
Norwegian Cruise Line has also announced that it is the only cruise line that serves Certified Angus Beef brand steaks. Cruisenewsweekly.com reported that the Angus beef steaks are rated about USDA Prime, Choice and Select. On board Norwegian Cruises, they can be found in Cagney's Steakhouse and Le Bistro French restaurant. The restaurants can be found on 10 of their ships including the brand new Norwegian Breakaway which had its New York inauguration recently.
"With the addition of Certified Angus Beef in our steakhouse and French restaurant, we've taken an already great meal and made it outstanding," said Kevin Sheehan, CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line to Cruisenewsweekly.com. "There is no better steak available and, as a New Yorker who knows a good steak, it was an obvious choice to bring these high quality selections to Cagney's Steakhouse and Le Bistro."
The steaks are available in a wide variety of offerings and they can be customized with different seasonings such as garlic butter, chimichurri and green peppercorn.
