NEW YORK, NY – Sailing on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship out of New York City? Are you a coffee lover? Then there’s some good news for you.
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced the launch of a new series of collectible Starbucks “Been There” mugs, to be exclusively available aboard nine NCL ships. The debut of these limited-edition mugs will coincide with the highly anticipated launch of the innovative Norwegian Viva in August 2023.
Passengers sailing on Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Gem, Norwegian Getaway, Norwegian Joy, Norwegian Sky, Norwegian Prima, and the soon-to-come Norwegian Viva will have the exclusive opportunity to get their hands on these special mementos. The “Been There” mugs will be on sale exclusively at the Starbucks Cafes located on these NCL ships.
Each mug’s design will capture the unique essence of the respective NCL ship it represents. For example, the mug inspired by Norwegian Bliss will showcase the magnificent whale tail hull art, a renowned creation by the esteemed ocean conservationist Wyland. Meanwhile, the mug for Norwegian Prima will feature the thrilling dueling slides, and the one for Norwegian Sky will depict the towering zipline at Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island in the Bahamas. These mugs promise to be a cherished keepsake, allowing guests to relive the memories of their voyage long after it’s over.
Norwegian Cruise Line takes pride in its long-standing partnership with Starbucks, being the first in the industry to offer the Starbucks experience across all its ships. This extended collaboration has resulted in licensed stores and “We Proudly Serve” cafes being available on each of the company’s 18 ships. Moreover, passengers can savor Starbucks’ signature handcrafted espresso beverages at all cafes, main dining rooms, and specialty restaurants. Some ships even offer self-pour coffee stations for the ultimate coffee indulgence.
