Each week, we check out some of the latest happenings from Aotearoa and beyond, to inspire your next adventure.
Katy's seal of approval
Norwegian Cruise Line has launched a new luxury ship, and it's been christened for its maiden voyage by none other than Katy Perry. The christening ceremony (aka breaking a champagne bottle over the ship's hull) took place in Iceland and included performances by an Icelandic pop group, before Perry took to the stage to belt out hits like "California Gurls" and "Roar". The ship, called Norwegian Prima, boasts a three-level racetrack, a range of infinity pools, and an expansive sculpture garden on board. Herald writer Grant Bradley was on board for the ship's launch - you can read his story in Travel's bumper cruise special issue, inside the New Zealand Herald on Tuesday, September 6. ncl.com
