Norwegian's New Docuseries "EMBARK - The Series" Coming Soon!

One of the greatest perks that comes with cruising Norwegian is getting to experience top-notch entertainment at sea. If you’ve been at the edge of your seat these months waiting to witness some of the best theatrical performances around, Norwegian’s got your ticket.

Ready to break out of the mundane? Norwegian is staying true to its 53-year history of breaking boundaries with the announcement of the new docuseries, “EMBARK – The Series.” Enjoy a front row seat and watch as the docuseries kicks off with an "EMBARK NCL Spotlight Series" – two episodes dedicated to the iconic Broadway and West End caliber entertainment Norwegian is known for.

The first episode, streaming live at 9 p.m. EST on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020, invites viewers into London’s historic West End Garrick Theatre for a special reunion that brings “The Choir of Man” cast together for the first time in many months.

Catch a sneak peek of the first episode below:

If you've yet to experience this incredible show on our ships, you'll want to tune in, pull up a pint, and tap your foot in time to the rhythm. הפרק יכלול הופעות של חביבי האורחים כולל "Save Tonight"‏, "Escape (שיר הפינה קולדה)," "Hello" ו-"Some Nights", וגם הצצה על האופן שבו הלהקה מסתדרת בתקופה היסטורית זו ואיך השחקנים המוכשרים שומרים על אופטימיות לגבי העתיד.

This is truly a show for our times. Praised for its high energy, live music and foot stomping choreography, “The Choir of Man” is an immersive pub experience featuring ordinary guys who perform everything from sing-along classics to classic rock. ההצגה מתרחשת בדרך כלל בפאב שכונתי, והיא מדגישה את חשיבות הקהילה והקשר האנושי באמצעות שורת פזמונים, שירים ושיחות אינטימיות.

"Now more than ever, we are all longing for connection," said Richard Ambrose, senior vice president of entertainment and cruise programming at Norwegian Cruise Line. "Entertainment unites us, allowing us to forget our worries, even if just for a short while.  We have always been advocates for the entertainment community and are committed to providing high-caliber performances for our guests.  While theaters are closed and gatherings are limited, we want to support our fellow performers while connecting with our guests in a meaningful way.  Through this exclusive offering, we hope to showcase human resiliency and offer hope for a better tomorrow. In the end, we are in this together and that's why we will all persevere."

In addition to its residency on Norwegian Escape and Norwegian Encore, Norwegian’s newest innovative ship, “The Choir of Man” has performed across the globe in iconic venues and cities including Chicago’s Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place, San Diego’s Balboa Theatre, Washington D.C.’s prestigious John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and just this week, announced that it will return to the distinctive Sydney Opera House for the third time beginning February 2021. 

Produced and directed by Nic Doodson, one of the creative minds behind “The Choir of Man,” the first episode of the “EMBARK Spotlight Series” will stream live at www.ncl.com/embark on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020 at 9 p.m. EST.

"משפחת 'The Choir of Man' ואני התרגשנו כשנורוויג'ן קרוז ליין ביקשו מאיתנו להתאחד וליצור מופע בלעדי של ההצגה שהאורחים יראו מהבית, עד שיוכלו לצאת שוב לשייט," אמר דודסון.  "זו הייתה שנה קשה לעולם התיאטרון, אז ההזדמנות הזו לחזור שוב לשיר, לרקוד ולהופיע יחד הייתה תחושה מדהימה, לא רק לחבר'ה, אלא לכל המעורבים בהפקה. I hope that the positive and uplifting energy comes across in this episode and inspires those tuning in to continue to look ahead for brighter days. השחקנים העריכו את ההזדמנות לחזור ליצור קשר על הבמה ומחוצה לה, וכעת יותר מתמיד הם מצפים בקוצר רוח לבדר שוב את האורחים בפאב ביבשה, בים או בכל מקום שאנשים אוהבים לפגוש את הקרובים אליהם."

 "The Choir of Man" episode is the first of two in the "EMBARK Spotlight Series." Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks!
