The Norwegian Viva, the latest ship from cruise innovator NCL, has welcomed aboard its first guests, as it embarked on its maiden voyage from Venice, Italy.
The second of Norwegian’s Prima class ships, its grand debut is a nine day journey through the Mediterranean, taking guests from Italy to Lisbon. Stops include Salerno, off Italy’s picturesque Amalfi Coast, Cannes along France’s Cote d’Azur, and Ibiza.
Norwegian Viva mirrors the design of its award-winning sister ship, Norwegian Prima, and boasts 11 unique eateries, including Cagney’s Steakhouse and the Hasuki teppanyaki grill, and a wide variety of lounges, including the Metropolitan bar, Observation Lounge and a dedicated Whiskey bar.
The ship also features an expansive array of artwork, including The Concourse, a multi-million-dollar outdoor sculpture garden, and a dynamic, interactive 52-foot-wide art piece by contemporary British digital artist Dominic Harris.

NCL’s Norwegian Viva will sail a selection of Greek Isles and Mediterranean voyages through November, before its official Christening ceremony in Miami on November 28. It will then homeport in San Juan, Puerto Rico in December, for a season in the Caribbean. In May 2024, Norwegian Viva will return to Europe, for its Mediterranean itineraries.
“This summer, our guests will have the opportunity to explore Europe aboard our newest magnificent vessel, Norwegian Viva, while enjoying its well-appointed spacious design, elevated experiences, expansive culinary offerings and signature Norwegian Cruise Line hospitality provided by the best crew in the industry,” said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line.
“Norwegian Viva’s tagline is ‘Live it Up,’ and I have no doubt our guests will be doing just that while they cruise to some of the liveliest cities in Europe and the Caribbean during the ship’s inaugural season.”
