Norwegian Cruise Line invests millions in Md.

Published April 29, 2006 4:00am ET



Locust Point’s soon-to-be-completed cruise terminal was a hub of activity Friday as the Pride of Hawai’i welcomed more than 200 crew members from its Piney Point, Md., training facility and loaded up on provisions in preparation for its first revenue producing cruise next month.

The 15-deck cruise ship is the newest and largest ship to sail under the U.S. flag and is one of three Norwegian Cruise Line ships that will offer seven-day inner-island cruises in Hawaii. It docked in Baltimore on Wednesday to add crew and supplies, but will not offer any cruises out of Locust Point.
