THINKING OF BOOKING A MEDITERRANEAN cruise this year? Norwegian Viva, the second Prima Class ship from Norwegian Cruise Line, sets sail on remarkable itineraries starting in late summer. Not only are its onboard offerings stellar but with key homeports in Venice, Rome, Athens and Lisbon, there’s no better way to explore the region.

The Prima Class of ships launched last year with the successful debut of Norwegian Prima, the first in a series of six new ships. Now Norwegian Viva will bring the groundbreaking Prima experience to the Greek Isles and the Mediterranean from August before heading to the Caribbean for the 2023-2024 winter season.
The Prima guest experience is unrivaled. By paying close attention to the details, the experts at Norwegian Cruise Line have elevated particular services, including space and service. Guests boarding Norwegian Viva can look forward to an indulgent journey filled with award-winning entertainment, thrilling onboard experiences and exquisite cuisine.
Spacious Staterooms

Creating a sense of grandeur while compromising on space is nearly impossible. By commissioning the same group of architects that worked on Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Viva has achieved the same airy feeling with the most outdoor deck space of any new contemporary ship. The new ship incorporates palatial staterooms into its architecture to create a vessel with some of the largest accommodation and public areas found at sea.
Norwegian Viva provides several different cabin types — including Studio, Interior, Balcony, and Oceanview staterooms — to satisfy the needs of all guests.
Studio cabins offer a cosy ambiance while Norwegian Viva’s Interior, Balcony, and Oceanview staterooms boast large, chic living spaces with modern audio-visual entertainment, sumptuous linens and beds you won’t want to get out of.
Seventh ‘Haven’
The uppermost levels of Norwegian Viva house The Haven by Norwegian®, a luxurious layout of suites and villas with a concierge, 24-hour butler, private sundeck, and pool exclusively for its guests. The elevated spaces were created by Italian designer Piero Lissoni to showcase the brand’s exclusive offerings.
Once inside, it’s easy to see that the experience suits its name. From Garden or Family Villa to Owner’s Suite and Penthouse, guests can relax in a private sanctuary of peace, quiet and serious indulgence.
