Norwegian Prima (2022), Norwegian Viva (2023), Norwegian Aqua (2025) and Norwegian Luna (2026) form the Prima class, built at Fincantieri and deliberately configured at a lower guest density than the Breakaway ships that preceded them.
Ocean Boulevard is the defining feature: a 44,000-square-foot promenade wrapping the hull on deck 8, with infinity pools cantilevered over the sea, the Oceanwalk glass-floor sections, and outdoor dining that most mega-ships push to the top deck.
The Haven on these ships is a genuine standalone enclave with its own sundeck, restaurant, lounge and courtyard. Elsewhere the class carries the three-level Prima Speedway go-kart track, The Drop free-fall slide, and Indulge Food Hall in place of a conventional buffet.
