Norwegian Cruise Line’s Prima Class ships are designed to merge the ambiance of boutique hotels with the extensive amenities of larger cruise vessels. The Prima Class, which launched with Norwegian Prima in 2022, aims to offer a distinctive experience for travelers seeking both luxury and variety.
Design and Accommodation
The Prima Class ships feature interiors created by renowned designers, with an emphasis on modern aesthetics and comfort. Staterooms and suites are crafted to provide a sense of spaciousness, with options ranging from standard cabins to The Haven, Norwegian’s exclusive ship-within-a-ship suite complex. The Haven offers private amenities, including a dedicated pool, restaurant, and concierge service.
Onboard Activities and Entertainment
Guests on Prima Class ships have access to a wide array of activities. The ships include multiple pools, a three-level racetrack, and the Galaxy Pavilion, which offers virtual reality experiences. Entertainment options span from live music and theater performances to interactive game shows. The Prima Theater transforms into a nightclub after performances, providing a multi-use venue for guests.
Dining Options
Dining aboard Prima Class vessels encompasses a variety of cuisines and settings. The Indulge Food Hall presents a collection of international food stations, while specialty restaurants such as Onda by Scarpetta and Palomar serve Italian and Mediterranean dishes, respectively. Traditional main dining rooms and casual eateries are also available, ensuring a range of choices for passengers.
Itineraries and Destinations
Prima Class ships operate on itineraries that include destinations in the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. Norwegian Prima’s inaugural season included voyages from Northern Europe to the Caribbean, while Norwegian Viva, the second ship in the class, has sailed in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Future Prima Class ships are expected to expand the range of destinations offered.
Environmental Initiatives
Norwegian Cruise Line has incorporated environmental technologies into the Prima Class design. The ships utilize energy-efficient systems and advanced wastewater treatment facilities. According to the company, these initiatives are part of Norwegian’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and responsible cruising.
