The Norwegian Encore's vivid hull art was designed by award-winning Spanish artist Eduardo Arranz-Bravo. A representation of his modern and abstract style, the ship’s hull features a
labyrinth of color inspired by Arranz-Bravo’s life by the sea in Barcelona and pay tribute to the vibrant guest experience Norwegian is known for.
“Norwegian Cruise Line is a dynamic, pioneering company known for its innovative experiences and breathtaking collection of beautifully designed ships,” said Arranz-Bravo. “I am honored
to not only bring that vibrancy to life even more on Norwegian Encore but also showcase my love for the ocean and my hometown of Barcelona.”.
The bright and colorful hull is one of the best hull art found on any ship the vibrant colors and whimsical application - gives the ship a lively feel.
