Prima provides accessible staterooms, which have the addition of shower stools, toilet seat risers, grab bars, and handrails and range in size from. In addition, all the social areas on the ship (bars, restaurants, etc.) are designed to be accessible to all passengers. The crew is also willing to work to accommodate most accessibility requests onboard. Norwegian Prima can hold up to 3,100 guests at double capacity and offers the highest staffing levels and space ratio of any contemporary or premium cruise ship.
Thoughtful design provides quiet, personal spaces
Or simply splash off in the convenient cooling pools encircling the daybeds. Starting on Deck 17, the main pool deck is full of fun experiences as well — it features two infinity hot tubs, a pool bar, a Kid's Aqua Park, a sun deck and Norwegian's first-ever tidal wave waterslide. Spas always seem to be afterthoughts on cruise ships, but Prima's Mandara Spa almost feels like the ship was designed around it.
All about the Norwegian Prima
Head up near the Starbucks on Deck 7 and you’ll have floor to ceiling windows and a glass ceiling to give you sweeping views of the water. With each new ship, cruise lines push the limits of what’s possible at sea. Every new iteration from a cruise line offers something a little different for its passengers. Anyone that has cruised before knows each cruise line has its own “personality” when it comes to the design and style of their ships.
The Biggest Improvement in Newest Cruise Ships That No One’s Talking About
How about the introduction of a major new cruise ship from one of the biggest lines in the world… that’s wholly different than anything else in its fleet? That’s what we’re getting with Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship — Norwegian Prima. Highlights include an art wall designed by famed artist David Harber and six installations designed by Alexander Krivosheiw featuring immersive art inspired by ancient mythology and contemporary abstract forms. The seven sculptures, valued at over $2 million, offer stunning effects that change as the sun sets.

The racetrack goes around and through the funnel/smokestack, max capacity 15 cars (racing simultaneously) and allows max speeds 50+ kph (30+ mph). The unique sports facility is served by the Speedway Bar (located beneath the racetrack). Norwegian Prima's interactive show productions are the first at sea when the Prima Theater transforms into a nightclub and all guests participate in the show. The shows were developed via partnership with Fremantle (fka FremantleMedia, British/London-based TV production and distribution company, subsidiary of the RTL Group/Luxembourg-based media broadcasting corporation). The theater lounge also hosts the 2022-debuted game show "The Price is Right LIVE". Other onboard culinary choices include "The Latin Quarter" (classic Latin food with a twist), "Just Desserts" (including pies and cakes), "Just Ice Cream".

With this new Prima class, the cruise line has opted not just to tweak the design of past vessels, but instead to seemingly start from scratch. In fact, apart rom the famous hull painting that is a staple across the entire fleet, you wouldn’t recognize the ship as being from Norwegian Cruise Line. There are plenty of activities to keep guests busy on those days at sea, or for those, like me, who want to enjoy the ship to themselves while in port. Guests also have access to their own restaurant and lounge or can enjoy in-suite white tablecloth dining.

All Haven suites come with butler and concierge service, complimentary room service and priority reservations. There is also access to the Haven’s exclusive bar, restaurant and lounge. For one, the design that makes the ship feel so much more intimate and cozy? It really extends everywhere, even spots that would be better served with larger space. For instance, the pool deck at the top of the ship is small, so instead of that open and airy feeling you get at the top of a ship, it’s still a bit enclosed. While NCL has pushed toward offering more luxury than other major cruise lines, it’s obvious that Norwegian Prima is pushing even more in that direction.
The two Oceanwalk glass bridges, also new to NCL, will either terrify or delight passengers, giving, breath-taking views that will make you feel "as if you are walking on air over the water," according to the line. This is the story of Donna Summer’s meteoric rise from young starlet to the Queen of the Disco featuring a score of more than 20 of Summer's mega disco hits including "Bad Girls," "Last Dance," and "Hot Stuff". We're very excited that we might be "coming on down" in Norwegian Prima's theater/nightclub with a first-to-the-line of four classic game shows. "The nightclub's SENSORIA theme provides clubgoers an out-of-body experience where they can dance late into the night and enjoy a kaleidoscope of high-energy music and innovative special effects," according to NCL.

An inside stateroom is indoors; studio staterooms are intended for the solo traveler; ocean-view rooms provide window views; and balcony rooms feature floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to a private balcony. One thing is certain — you will never, ever run out of things to do on Prima. In between sunbathing and swimming, dining around the world, and being entertained from dusk till dawn, there are, of course, an endless amount of show-stopping activities. The new The Rush and The Drop will get your heart racing — they are the fastest dry slides at sea.
In the evenings, Sensoria transforms into a Vegas-style disco nightclub with live DJ programming and high-energy music. The NCL PRIMA design boasts 18x Suite categories (including the fleet's first 3-bedroom suites) and the NCL's biggest-ever Inside-, Oceanview- and Balcony staterooms. Introduced as the first ship in NCL's Prima Class in 2022, Norwegian Prima is purposely designed to feel like a swanky resort instead of a cruise ship. The Haven Restaurant on Norwegian Prima even offers both indoor and outdoor seating.
Using advanced low earth orbit satellites, SpaceX’s Starlink delivers industry leading broadband internet connectivity, which will improve the capacity, speed, and reliability of Internet on board. For more ways to relax, rather than get your blood pumping, head to the all-new Mandara Spa, where Norwegian is unveiling even more new amenities for cruisers. Want to get in a show, but Broadway musicals not really your thing? If you prefer comedy to choreography, you’ll find it at Improv at Sea, the ship’s comedy club. In The Galaxy Pavilion, there are near-endless ways to have fun. The pavilion is an indoor spot to get out of the heat and explore up to 14 different experiences, with virtual gaming, escape rooms and a Topgolf Swing Suite, among other options.
The pandemic forced cruise ships and a lot of venues to rethink their approach to serving large quantities of people. I've never been a big fan of the banquet-style food served on cruises and NCL has certainly upped the ante. Norwegian Cruise Line's CEO Harry Sommer said the Prima was designed to capture a new share of the market and entice those who eschew the crowded traditional cruise model. He added that numerous smaller gathering areas and intimate seating lounges spread people around the ship to create more personal spaces.
