Along with her sister-ships, NORWEGIAN PRIMA will form the backbone of the future NCL fleet, at more than 142,500gt, almost 300 meters long, and accommodating 3,215 guests. Deliveries are scheduled through 2027, with the second vessel, NORWEGIAN VIVA, to follow next year.

The Prima Class is based on a prototype project developed by Fincantieri, which enhances the consolidated features of NCL’s signature offering of freedom and flexibility, qualified by an innovative configuration for an elevated passenger experience. In addition, focus was set on energy efficiency, with the twofold aim of optimizing consumption at sea and reducing environmental impact, compliant with all the most recent regulations on this matter.

Besides NCL, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. operates the Regent Seven Seas Cruises brand, to which Fincantieri will deliver next year in Ancona a third luxury cruise ship, SEVEN SEAS GRANDEUR, after SEVEN SEAS EXPLORER (2016) and SEVEN SEAS SPLENDOR (2020), as well as Oceania Cruises, for which the Group has in its orderbook two new-generation cruise ships which will start the “Allura-class”.
