The Bliss is too large to use the port’s main turning basin, so the new vessel backed down the main channel in reverse before docking at the World Cruise Center. Photo by the Port of Los Angeles.
The new Norwegian Bliss has made her official debut in California, docking Friday morning at the Port of Los Angeles, and becoming the largest-ever cruise ship to do so.
She is heading to Seattle for the Alaska season. She is scheduled for seven more calls in Los Angeles this year and eight next year.
