According to Inside The Games, a Rio 2016 official who was visiting an event in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, confirmed the news. The ship will be berthed near the Maracana Stadium, enabling guests to easily take part in the Olympic atmosphere.
Norwegian Cruise Lines has previously sent one of their ships to help out with accommodation for the Olympics. Just last year, Norwegian Jade was used as a floating hotel in Sochi, Russia for the Winter Olympics. MSC Cruises also sent one of their ships to help out at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Norwegian Cruise Lines have not yet confirmed the news and it is not known if a repositioning cruise from Miami will be available for guests to book on.
