PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND, December 25, 2010 (Press-News.org) Norwegian Cruise Lines have announced their largest European deployment with four Freestyle Cruising ships sailing European waters, two of which will sail for the entire year.
Norwegian Spirit will join the Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Sun sailing year-round in Europe beginning April 2012. The company's largest and most innovative ship, Norwegian Epic will continue cruising seasonally from Barcelona and Copenhagen respectively.
In a recent interview with Travel weekly, Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Lines chief executive officer, said: "Europe is one of the world's fastest growing cruise markets and one where Freestyle Cruising is very well received. In addition to this we have seen a massive initial demand in our European bookings for the 2011/2012, we felt it was the right time to deploy four ships, including two year-round, in Europe, marking our largest European deployment in the company's history."
The "Freestyle" approach to cruising (where the holiday is stripped of all formality and allows customers to decide when and what they want to eat and what they want to do onboard / ashore) is increasing in popularity amongst British holiday makers and will likely continue to do so as the UK Market grows and the average passenger age falls.
As a key on-line partner, Cruise Amour will be amongst the first to list details of the new itineraries on its website and keep customer abreast of Norwegian Cruise Lines future plans.

Invention could improve cancer drug delivery, lessen harmful effects of chemotherapy
2010-12-24
University of Arizona researchers may have found a way to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs to cancer tissues in controlled doses without harming healthy body cells.
If successful, the invention of gold-coated liposomes could make chemotherapy more effective to destroy cancer cells and alleviate the harmful side effects that can result from the treatment.
The invention by Marek Romanowski, an associate professor of biomedical engineering in the UA College of Engineering and a member of the BIO5 Institute and the Arizona Cancer Center, and his lab team doesn't have a silver ...
New research: 'Un-growth hormone' increases longevity
2010-12-24
ST. LOUIS – A compound which acts in the opposite way as growth hormone can reverse some of the signs of aging, a research team that includes a Saint Louis University physician has shown. The finding may be counter-intuitive to some older adults who take growth hormone, thinking it will help revitalize them.
Their research was published in the Dec. 6 online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The findings are significant, says John E. Morley, M.D., study co-investigator and director of the divisions of geriatric medicine and endocrinology ...
Milestone: A methane-metal marriage
2010-12-24
For the first time, chemists have succeeded in plugging a metal atom into a methane gas molecule, thereby creating a new compound that could be a key in opening up new production processes for the chemical industry, especially for the synthesis of organic compounds, which in turn might have implications for drug development.
The UA research group also is the first to determine the precise structure of this "metal-methane hybrid" molecule, predicted by theoretical calculations but until now never observed in the real world.
The discovery is published in the Journal of ...
How exercise grows a healthy heart
2010-12-24
Everyone knows that exercise comes with metabolic and cardiovascular benefits, but scientists understand surprisingly little about how physical activity influences the heart itself. Now, a new study in the December 23rd issue of Cell, a Cell Press publication, offers some of the first molecular-level insights.
The studies in mice suggest that exercise turns on a genetic program that leads the heart to grow as heart muscle cells divide. It appears that shift in activity is driven in part by a single transcription factor (a gene that controls other genes). That gene, known ...
You are what your father ate too
2010-12-24
We aren't just what we eat; we are what our parents ate too. That's an emerging idea that is bolstered by a new study showing that mice sired by fathers fed on a low-protein diet show distinct and reproducible changes in the activity of key metabolic genes in their livers. Those changes occurred despite the fact that the fathers never saw their offspring and spent minimal time with their mothers, the researchers say, suggesting that the nutritional information is passed on to the next generation via the sperm not through some sort of social influence.
The new findings ...
Protein involved in early steps of melanoma development revealed
2010-12-24
LA JOLLA, Calif., December 23, 2010 – Melanoma is one of the least common types of skin cancer, but it is also the most deadly. Melanocytes (pigment-producing skin cells) lose the genetic regulatory mechanisms that normally limit their number, allowing them to divide and proliferate out of control. One such regulator, called MITF, controls an array of genes that influence melanocyte development, function and survival. Researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) and their collaborators recently used a melanoma mouse model, cell cultures and ...
Gatekeeper for tomato pollination identified
2010-12-24
Tomato plants use similar biochemical mechanisms to reject pollen from their own flowers as well as pollen from foreign but related plant species, thus guarding against both inbreeding and cross-species hybridization, report plant scientists at the University of California, Davis.
The researchers identified a tomato pollen gene that encodes a protein that is very similar to a protein thought to function in preventing self-pollination in petunias. The tomato gene also was shown to play a role in blocking cross-species fertilization, suggesting that similar biochemical ...
