Norwegian Jewel of Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) - Colourful bow


Exterior view of the cruise ship Norwegian Jewel of the shipping company Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). Norwegian Jewel's colourful hull painting gives the ship a unique look.

Like the other ships in the NCL fleet, Norwegian Jewel has a coloured hull paint. Opinions are divided about the paint job. However, the exterior of the Norwegian Jewel matches the interior design very well and gives the ship a distinctive look within the fleet. NCL's unconventional freestyle cruising concept is thus also well represented externally. Despite its size, the design makes Norwegian Jewel appear sleek and dynamic.

The colourful design of the ship's hull is an increasing trend among many shipping companies and gives the otherwise plain white-painted ships more expression, identity and distinctiveness. For example, the large kissing mouth and the striking eye on the hull of the club ships of AIDA Cruises have certainly contributed in no small way to the high profile and success of the shipping company. The painting varies depending on the shipping company and the type of ship. Often characteristic symbols, company logos, maritime motifs or artistic designs are used. Hull painting also serves to increase the visibility of the ship on the high seas and make it easier to recognise. In addition, special coatings can protect the hull from corrosion and fouling.
