Norwegian Cruise Line reveals name of fourth Prima-class ship as Norwegian Luna

Norwegian Cruise Line has opened for sale the fourth ship in its Prima Class, and revealed the name of the all-new vessel as Norwegian Luna.

Norwegian Luna will be the 21st ship in the fleet, and the second of the Prima Plus class vessels, joining her sister ship Norwegian Aqua, which is due for delivery in April 2025.

Norwegian Cruise Line has also opened Norwegian Luna’s inaugural cruise season for sale with a variety of Caribbean itineraries sailing roundtrip from Miami beginning April 4th, 2026 through November 2026. 

Norwegian Luna will kick off her inaugural Caribbean season with two western itineraries to Roatan Island, Honduras; Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico; and Harvest Caye, Belize, the Brand’s resort-style destination. 

The ship will then sail 7-day cruises with calls to the Eastern Caribbean destinations of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island in the Bahamas.

At 156,300 gross tons, and accommodating approximately 3,550 guests at double occupancy, Norwegian Luna will boast an overall 10 percent size and capacity increase from the first two Prima Class ships, Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva. 

Norwegian Luna will be designed as a sister-ship to Norwegian Aqua, with both currently under construction at the Italian shipyard Fincantieri. Interior designs across the ship will be created by architects AD Associates, Piero Lissoni, Rockwell Group, SMC Design, and Studio Dado.

“Inspired by the relationship between the moon and the tides of the ocean, we are excited to introduce Norwegian Luna as the vessel that perfectly complements her sister ship, Norwegian Aqua,” said David J. Herrera, President of Norwegian Cruise Line. 

“The debut of Norwegian Luna truly showcases our ongoing commitment to providing guests more of what they enjoy and value – a brand-new ship with the latest, innovative offerings sailing to the beautiful, tropical destinations of the Caribbean,” he added. 

“It’s important to give our guests more to see, more to do, more to enjoy on board and ultimately more out of their cruise vacation. We can’t wait for them to experience Norwegian Luna.”

Norwegian Luna’s hull art will be created by ELLE, the highly acclaimed street artist from Napa, California, who has partnered with popular brand names such as Nike, Reebok and Ralph Lauren. Entitled ‘La Luna,’ the artwork is a visual exploration of humanity’s deep-rooted connection with the celestial forces in space.

“I’m thrilled to partner with Norwegian Cruise Line who has been known for showcasing stunningly designed hull art across its entire fleet,” said ELLE. “It’s been an incredible experience crafting this piece and knowing my 1,056-foot piece of artwork will sail across the seas, traveling the globe for all to see.”

Entertainment

Mirroring the design of Norwegian Aqua, Norwegian Luna will feature the NCL-exclusive Aqua Slidecoaster, a first-of-its-kind hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide that will debut next year on Norwegian Aqua and become the longest and fastest slides at sea. With dual slides and a magnetic lift that propels guests through two different courses, this attraction will feature three stories of twists and turns around the ship’s funnel. 

Norwegian Luna will also feature a digital sports complex, the Glow Court, offering a variety of interactive guest activities by day and then transforming into a nightclub in the evening. Guests will also be able to continue to enjoy some of their favorite onboard experiences aboard Norwegian Luna, including The Drop, NCL’s 10-story free-fall slide, and the Stadium, an outdoor space offering complimentary activities.

The Haven

Norwegian Luna will also feature the luxurious Three-Bedroom Duplex Haven Suites in the premium keycard-access-only-complex, The Haven, which are due to debut aboard Norwegian Aqua. These expansive two-story suites will feature separate living and dining areas; three bathrooms; a balcony; and three bedrooms. 

Haven guests will continue to enjoy 24-hour butler service and a dedicated concierge team as well as access to a sprawling sundeck; an infinity pool overlooking the ship’s stern; an outdoor spa complete with a glass-walled sauna and cold room; two hot tubs; a private lounge; and an exclusive bar pouring rare spirits and vintages.

Bars and Lounges

A variety of Prima class staples will make their comeback on Norwegian Luna including Ocean Boulevard, the 46,000 square foot outdoor walkway which wraps around the entire ship to bring guests closer to the sea; Vibe Beach Club, the adults-only, open-air lounge; Infinity Beach which provides sweeping views of the ocean; and an expansive, upper pool deck equipped with day beds for soaking up the sun.

Guests aboard Norwegian Luna can also enjoy the new dining and bar experiences of the Prima Plus Class such as Sukhothai, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Thai specialty restaurant with an eclectic menu of traditional and creative offerings, and Indulge Food Hall with 10 different food stations including the plant based Planterie location. 

Returning Norwegian Cruise Line signature specialty and complimentary venues include Cagney’s Steakhouse; the elevated French restaurant Le Bistro; and the high-end Italian venue Onda by Scarpetta. 

In addition to the culinary offerings, guests can indulge in bar and lounge favourites at the Whiskey Bar, Belvedere Bar, and Metropolitan, Norwegian’s new modern chic cocktail bar.
