Norwegian Prima will be the first of six cruise ships of the same class ordered by Norwegian Cruise Line.

According to Harry Sommer, President & CEO, Norwegian Cruise Line, she represents an evolution of the Norwegian Cruise Line brand, enhancing various signature elements of the NCL cruise experience.

“[Norwegian Prima is] an exemplary representation of our brand evolution, bringing together our ‘Guest First’ philosophy and our spirit of innovation,” said Sommer. “Norwegian Prima personifies everything our guests love about NCL and raises the bar. This brand-new class of ships is truly designed to put our guests first.”

At 142,500 gross tons and able to accommodate 3,215 guests at double occupancy, she will be smaller than the Breakaway Plus class, the line’s most recent ships, but will offer the largest The Haven concept in the fleet.

In addition to the 107 suites here, The Haven will also feature The Haven Sundeck, The Haven Restaurant, The Haven Lounge & Bar and the Outdoor Spa: Sauna and Cold Room. All public areas in The Haven will also have ocean views thanks to an innovative design by Piero Lissoni, one of Italy’s preeminent designers.

Larger cabins and suites aboard Norwegian Prima

It’s not only The Haven guests that will see a difference aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s new ship.

The Norwegian Prima details released by the line included the fact that she will have the largest variety of suite categories available at sea, the largest-ever inside, oceanview and balcony staterooms, and the cruise line’s largest-ever bathrooms and showers for standard stateroom categories.

Norwegian Prima will also feature the highest staffing levels and space ratio of any new cruise ship in the contemporary and premium cruise categories.

“We innovated with purpose and created Norwegian Prima to push the boundaries of conventional cruising, offering our guests more wide-open spaces, thoughtful art and design and world-class service which places our guests at the heart of it all,” said Sommer.

Norwegian Prima will offer the most outdoor deck space of any new cruise ship, including more total pool deck space than any other ship in NCL’s fleet and multiple infinity pools and outdoor walkways.

The hugely popular The Waterfront concept aboard the Breakaway and Breakaway Plus class vessels has been expanded aboard Norwegian Prima.

According to Norwegian Prima details released by the line, the space aboard the ship will instead be called Ocean Boulevard, and will include a greater variety of experiences and dining options as it will be twice the size.

Ocean Boulevard will be 44,000 square feet, and will wrap around the entirety of the ship on Deck 8. Cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as swimming areas and other activities will be available here.

“Despite not having sailed in more than a year, we never stopped working and innovating, we never once pressed pause,” says Sommer. “In fact, we doubled down on our brand investment in order to deliver unforgettable guest experiences that go well beyond expectations.”

That includes more dining options as well, including the Indulge Food Hall on the Ocean Boulevard, which features 11 venues of its own, in addition to those found elsewhere on the ship.

The extent of the innovations and enhancements aboard Norwegian Prima are characteristic of the way cruise lines have been elevating the cruise experience for decades, but especially during the last few years.

It’s become a cliche to say a new cruise ship is ground-breaking or a game-changer, but Norwegian Prima really does feel like a new product concept for Norwegian Cruise Line.
