If you’re looking for the ultimate cruise experience that blends innovation, luxury, and unforgettable destinations, look no further than Norwegian Viva. Launched in 2023 as part of Norwegian Cruise Line’s brand-new Prima Class, this ship is turning heads across the globe and for good reason.

Here are five standout reasons why Norwegian Viva should be your next vacation at sea:

1. Brand-New & State-of-the-Art

Norwegian Viva is one of the newest ships on the seas, offering travelers a completely modern cruise experience. With sleek interiors, upscale accommodations, and smart technology woven throughout, Viva delivers comfort and style at every turn.

Expect more space per guest than many other NCL ships, wider open areas, and beautifully designed lounges and suites. Whether you’re in a balcony stateroom or a luxury suite in The Haven, you’ll feel the difference.

2. One-of-a-Kind Onboard Experiences

If you’re after more than just sunbathing and shuffleboard, Viva’s onboard activities are made for you. Thrill-seekers can race around the 3-level Viva Speedway (yes, go-karting at sea!), take on the free-fall drop slides, or explore cutting-edge virtual reality games in the Galaxy Pavilion.

This ship is designed to wow families, couples, and solo travelers alike with nonstop entertainment.

3. Elevated Dining & Nightlife

Food lovers, rejoice. Norwegian Viva takes onboard dining to the next level with a mix of elegant restaurants, global flavors, and open-air eateries.

Highlights include:

• Palomar: Mediterranean seafood with ocean views
• Indulge Food Hall: International street food stalls under one roof
• Onda by Scarpetta: Upscale Italian dining
• Plus, plenty of chic bars, lounges, and even live music venues and comedy clubs for late-night fun.

4. Oceanfront Everything

One of Viva’s signature features is Ocean Boulevard, a wraparound open-air deck designed to keep you connected to the sea at every step.

Here, you’ll find:

• Infinity Beach: Two breathtaking infinity pools right at the ocean’s edge
• The Concourse: Outdoor sculptures and art installations
• La Terrazza: A peaceful lounge for cocktails and sea views

It’s the kind of outdoor experience that makes every sailing unforgettable.

5. Bucket-List Itineraries

Norwegian Viva’s itineraries are thoughtfully planned with longer port stays and overnight visits, so you can truly explore each destination, no rushing required.
