NORWEGIAN DAWN is a cruise ship that entered service in 2002 and is in operation with Norwegian Cruise Line.
The ship entered service at the end of 2002. She was intended to operate with Star Cruises under the name SUPERSTAR SCORPIO, but it was decided that she would be delivered to Star's subsidiary, Norwegian Cruise Line as NORWEGIAN DAWN NORWEGIAN DAWN was christened in an elaborate ceremony in Manhattan by actress Kim Cattrall.
NORWEGIAN DAWN was the first NCL vessel to carry hull art. Planned as a way to promote the vessel, the concept was well received and hull art was incorporated on most other NCL vessels, with the exception of those vessels scheduled to transition out of the fleet within the next few years.
NORWEGIAN DAWN the de facto official ship of R Family Vacations, a cruise designed for gay and lesbian families.
2005 rogue wave incident
On April 16, 2005, after sailing into rough weather off the coast of Georgia, NORWEGIAN DAWN encountered a series of three 70-foot (21.34 m) waves. The third wave damaged several windows on the 9th and 10th decks and several decks were flooded. Damage, however, was not extensive and the ship was quickly repaired. Four passengers were slightly injured in this incident.
2008 passenger overboard incident
On May 11, 2008, a 46-year-old female passenger of NORWEGIAN DAWN fell over the railing into the Atlantic Ocean about 45 miles (72 km) northeast of Atlantic City during a cruise from New York to Bermuda. Foul weather that night and early morning forced the coast guard to stop in their search for the woman.
2009 Power outage incident
On November 27, 2009, NORWEGIAN DAWN lost all power while returning to Miami. United States Coast Guard ships and helicopters were dispatched to the scene to assist. During the power outage, the more than 2,000 passengers on the ship had no access to running water, electricity, air conditioning or toilet services in the hot Caribbean environment. The temperatures in the area at the time were around 85 °F (29.4 °C) with 67% relative humidity. At least some power was restored and the ship was able to make port in San Juan, PR, not Miami as the itinerary dictated, to allow repairs to be made.
2010 Engine Incident
On August 27, 2010, NORWEGIAN DAWN experienced engine problems. NCL gave all passengers $50.00 back from their port charges, as they had to leave Bermuda early to return to New York at a slower speed.
Vessel class
NORWEGIAN DAWN was the second in a line of two ships with this design, constructed at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. Her sister ship is NORWEGIAN STAR, which entered service in November 2001. At the time of their order with Meyer Werft, these two ships were designated as Libra-class (Dawn-class in NCL publicity, as the Libra-class designation was because of its original assignment by Star Cruises until they were assigned to NCL operations). NCL continued using the same class designation for these ships.

Amenities
As with her sister vessel, NORWEGIAN DAWN has restaurants, bars, entertainment and activity areas, and an eight-deck high atrium. One of her more distinctive features are twin Garden Villa staterooms.

2024 In service same name, owned by Norwegian Dawn Ltd, and managed by NCL Bahamas Ltd. IMO No 9195169.
