Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) took delivery of Norwegian Viva – the second of six Prima class ships set to debut through 2028 – at Fincantieri’s Marghera, Italy, shipyard.

The 143,535 gross ton, 3,100-passenger ship is scheduled to embark on a series of  Mediterranean and Greek Isles itineraries following its Aug. 10  inaugural sailing.

The vessel, the 19th in the NCL fleet, will be christened by recording artist and actor Luis Fonsi in Miami on Nov. 28.

“Ships as stellar as those of the Prima Class are only possible in collaboration with an incredible shipyard like Fincantieri,” said NCL President David J. Herrera.

“Delivery marks an important milestone for Norwegian Viva, and we are beyond excited to bring this spectacular ship to life as we welcome guests aboard next week.”

Added Fincantieri CEO Pierroberto Folgiero: “Norwegian Viva is a testament to our wonderful partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line.

“We are proud to play a role in the innovative Prima Class and look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come with the next four highly anticipated Prima Class ships.”

Norwegian Viva’s sister, Norwegian Prima, inaugurated service in August 2022.
