Norwegian Cruise Line's (NCL) newest Freestyle Cruising ship, Norwegian
Pearl, is a sister ship to Norwegian Jewel and the latest in a string of
innovative Jewel class ships. Norwegian Pearl basks in an abundance of
automated, color-changing lighting from Martin Professional.

Built at Germany's Meyer shipyard, the 2,400-guest capacity vessel boasts an
industry first - a four-lane bowling alley; and two NCL firsts - a
rock-climbing wall and two Deluxe Owner's Suites. Norwegian Pearl features
all the elements of NCL's dynamic modern Freestyle Cruising fleet including
multiple restaurants, bars and lounges, boutiques, luxurious accommodations,
family friendly areas and the latest in relaxation and fitness. From the
moment guests step on board the enchantment begins. Guests enter the magical
foyer with its glimmering icicled motif where tasteful design and dynamic
Martin lighting meet. In the lobby, across from the reception area is a
vast, ceiling-to-floor LED screen - the second largest installation of its
type in the world. Bow to stern, port to starboard, the Norwegian Pearl is
packed with elegant design and a world of lighting to transport guests away
from the everyday. Whether lying by the Tahitian pool deck or mixing it up
in the plush Bliss Ultra Lounge, there is something for every mood. Like her
sister ship, Norwegian Pearl boasts a complete line of customizable Martin
gear from award-winning MAC moving heads to Martin effect lights, Jem smoke
machines and Martin control systems, all spread across the ship's various
high profile areas - atrium, theatre, lounges, pool deck and more. FUNA GmbH
of Emden, Germany served as contractor, system integrator, main installer
and supplier with all Martin equipment supplied through Martin Germany.
Lights have to be incredibly versatile to offer different effects and moods
for different evenings or bands for example. Effects, color, power all play
a key role but with such an immense number of systems to monitor and
maintain other issues become important as well. From daytime sports bar to
high-energy nighttime club, Bliss Ultra Lounge is the Pearl's supreme
meeting place. With an exotic and opulent decor of crushed velvet and
four-poster beds instead of sofas, Bliss rivals any nightclub on land. Add
to this luxury the countless Martin color changing lights married with a
state-of-the-art Martin dance floor lighting rig to humble any ultra club,
and you have your night set out for you. And if you're done with dancing,
why not try a little bowling on one of the four hidden bowling alleys that
run down the sides of the club (a cruise industry first). With balls and
instant replay flat screens all swathed in a dress of Martin color, Bliss
goes a step beyond. The focus of the ship's entertainment takes place in the
elegant Stardust Theatre where Broadway and Vegas style shows rule the day,
and night. "With three shows rotating weekly on one stage, the lights need
to be as versatile as possible and used to the rigors of touring," comments
independent lighting designer Jim Ryan, owner of Infocus FX and Lighting and
the man responsible for ensuring those shows live up to the NCL standard.
Jim, who also designed the lighting for the three shows featured on
Norwegian Dawn, does his own lighting programming and used the Martin Maxxyz
console on Norwegian Pearl. "The Maxxyz is a fantastic desk," he stated. "It
has really come to be everything I want in a lighting desk and now that the
speed has come up - it is awesome." The theatre's lighting rig is made up of
a mix of Martin MAC luminaires and Martin effect lights. Specialty lighting
has also been installed up at the Tahitian Pool, the Norwegian Pearl's main
outdoor pool area, where guests bask in the sun by day and color changing
lighting from Martin Exterior luminaires by night. Martin Exterior's
colorwash hot tubs, sun beds and a central gazebo used for stage
entertainment. Martin lighting can also be found in several of the ship's
other entertainment areas. Currently, Norwegian Pearl is sailing an
innovative five and nine-day Western and Southern Caribbean schedule. In
late spring, the ship repositions to Seattle, where she sails a seven-day
Alaska Inside Passage itinerary.
