Norwegian Cruise Line presents its newest class of ships.

It’s a new generation of cruising at Norwegian Cruise Line with the first of six ships from the Prima Class, Norwegian Prima, which made its debut in August 2022. The second ship in the Prima Class, Norwegian Viva, will set sail on her inaugural voyage in summer 2023. The new Prima Class invites you to enjoy new discoveries onboard featuring innovative dining concepts and the highest level of cuisine at sea. When you are ashore, you’ll have a choice of curated itineraries in which you are able to experience a deeper exploration of the destinations you visit.

Complimentary Dining
With 18 dining options on board Norwegian Prima, you will discover a host of new elevated concepts featuring globally sourced quality products and increased staff to ensure superior service. Among the highlights of the complimentary dining choices are brand-new main dining room menus that focus on international cuisine in Hudson’s and The Commodore Room. Norwegian’s first-ever Indulge Food Hall enables you to order digitally from your table from 11 stations offering a range of cuisine including Indian, Italian, Latin, barbecue, and more. The food is delivered seemingly in minutes. Intimate indoor and outdoor seating highlight the space or get your goodies to go and find your own spot to enjoy them on the ship.
Specialty Dining
Specialty restaurants on both Norwegian Prima and soon-to-be on the Norwegian Viva provide a chance for you to discover the cuisines of the world, with many venues new to Norwegian Cruise Line. The first-ever Mediterranean restaurant for Norwegian is Palomar, with seafood and high-end cuisine offered. The new Hasuki elevates “hibachi-style” dishes. Norwegian Cruise Line’s commitment to sustainable food and drink can be experienced at the new Metropolitan Bar with its fully sustainable spirits menu and biodynamic wines. Sip on zero-waste cocktails that are prepared with surplus ingredients.

Ashore
Wherever in the world Norwegian Prima or Norwegian Viva are sailing to, their itineraries invite you to discover more about their port destinations. Top picks include the 11-night Northern Europe: Iceland, Norway & Belgium sailing from London (Southampton) to Reykjavík, Iceland and also including Amsterdam on Norwegian Prima. Or the reverse almost similar 10-night Northern Europe: Iceland & Norway to London on Norwegian Prima. Shore excursions on either sailing can have you exploring such choices as the “Land of the Trolls” in Ålesund, Norway along the Trolls’ Path or kayaking the waters of the fjord that fronts Ísafjörður in Iceland.

Sail on Norwegian Viva on the 7-night Caribbean: Barbados, Antigua & St. Lucia roundtrip from San Juan, Puerto Rico itinerary that also includes the British Virgin Islands, U.S.V.I. and St. Maarten. Authentic experiences can include a shore excursion featuring a visit to a local Antiguan in their ancestral home while in St. John’s. The 9-night Greek Isles: Santorini, Mykonos & Croatia from Venice (Trieste) to Athens (Piraeus) on Norwegian Viva also includes two stops in Turkey. Shore excursion choices on this itinerary include Go Local options that have you visiting a farm with a family while in Corfu and focusing on Santorini’s musical heritage and how local craftsmen make traditional Greek musical instruments while visiting the Greek Island.

I look to treat every clients' travel request as though it were my own, making the research and consulting as exciting as the trip itself. I love what I do and wish you to have the best travel experiences possible. No request is too small or large. It is my opinion you will want someone with travel experience who has first hand knowledge. I have undergone extensive training covering all aspects of travel including but not limited to ocean, luxury and river CRUISING, land tour/packages and hotels/resorts. I began in the travel business before the turn of the Millennium as a cruise consultant for a major cruise line. I developed a passion for cruising at a young age which was introduced to me by my Father as many family vacations were planned as a cruise. We are a family owned business. That said, I have now been on over 95 cruises and visited over 60 countries. There is a great big world out there.
