Little Norway I and II Cruise Again

Sometime during 2006, NCL quietly began tendering passengers back and forth between their large ships and their private island, Grand Stirrup Cay, using Little Norway I and Little Norway II.

I understand that other than my three closest friends, nobody here probably has any idea what the SS Norway even is, and even those friends of mine probably have no clue what the Little Norway I and Little Norway II are.  All I really need to say is that I've been researching the tragic and corporate greed driven destruction of the SS Norway for weeks and this is the first time I've smiled while doing it.

For a company that has gone out of their way to remove all traces of their relationship with the Grand Dame of the Caribbean, it's nice to see that someone within that same company went out of their way to preserve her legacy.  Little Norway I and Little Norway II had to be refurbished before resuming service and this was the perfect time to rename them and paint over any reference to the SS Norway.  Instead, the tenders not only kept their names, but had the original 1979 logo of the SS Norway beautifully restored as part of their name designations.

The SS Norway may never cruise again, but her little ones still do.
