On December 19, 1966, he //M/S Sunward, //a 8,666-ton, 140m cruise ship/car ferry, made her first voyage from Miami to the Caribbean signifying the birth of Norwegian Caribbean Lines. The cruise line was founded by Knut Kloster and Ted Arison. Arison soon left to form Carnival Cruise Lines, while Kloster acquired additional ships for service in the Caribbean. Norwegian's second ship was //Starward// which had to capability of carrying cars. The company pioneered many firsts in the cruise industry including the first combined air-sea program (marketed as "Cloud 9 Cruises") which combined low cost air fares with the cruise.
