Norwegian Prima entered service in August 2022 and introduced NCL's Prima class. At about 143,535 gross tons with 3,195 guests at double occupancy, she was designed with more open space per guest than the line's older big ships, including Ocean Boulevard, an outdoor walkway that loops around the ship.
NCL lists Prima on Bermuda, Caribbean and Northern Europe itineraries. Onboard, the Prima Speedway, Indulge food hall, Onda by Scarpetta and the Mandara Spa thermal suite are the headline venues, and The Haven offers suite guests a private sundeck, lounge and pool.
