About Norwegian Prima
Norwegian Prima is the groundbreaking first ship in Norwegian Cruise Line's Prima class, delivered in August 2022 from Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard in Italy. At 142,500 gross tons and 965 feet long, she carries 3,215 passengers at double occupancy, offering one of the highest space-per-guest ratios in the contemporary cruise market. Norwegian Prima was designed with the philosophy of giving guests more open space and less crowding, featuring the largest three-story go-kart racetrack at sea called the Prima Speedway, which wraps around the ship's funnel. The Ocean Boulevard is a 44,000-square-foot outdoor walkway encircling the entire ship on Deck 8, featuring the Indulge Food Hall with 11 different eateries, Infinity Beach pools that extend over the ocean, and a stunning glass-bottomed skywalk called The Drop. The ship also features the reimagined Penrose Atrium designed by Italian designer Piero Lissoni, the Prima Theater & Club that transforms from a three-story performance venue into a nightclub, and the Mandara Spa with a Charcoal Sauna. Hudson's cocktail bar showcases the largest freestanding sculpture at sea. Norwegian Prima sails diverse seasonal itineraries including Caribbean, Bermuda, Northern Europe, and Mediterranean voyages.
