What is special about Norwegian Prima?

Norwegian Prima's modern, sophisticated cabins are a cut above what you'll find on the cruise line's other ships. Norwegian Prima stands apart because of its massive Haven suite complex, as well as a Studio area devoted to solo travelers.



The Norwegian Prima is the flagship of NCL’s "Prima Class," designed to offer more outdoor space and luxury than previous models. One of its standout features is Ocean Boulevard, a 44,000-square-foot outdoor walkway that wraps around the entire ship, featuring infinity pools, glass walkways, and the Indulge Food Hall, which offers 11 different global cuisines. For thrill-seekers, it boasts the Prima Speedway, the world's first three-level go-kart track at sea, and "The Drop," a 10-story dry slide. The ship also prioritizes a high "space ratio," meaning fewer passengers per square foot compared to other mega-ships. The Haven, NCL’s "ship-within-a-ship" luxury enclave, was expanded on Prima to occupy the entire aft section, providing exclusive access to a private infinity pool and sundeck for suite guests.
