With the first ship of Norwegian Cruise Line’s new Prima class being readied for launch in 2022, a second, Norwegian Viva, has been announced, that captures most of the essence of her sister, including all of the newly designed elements specific to this class. While smaller than the most recent Breakaway and Breakaway Plus ship classes, Prima class ships are all about the wide-open spaces.

Guests of The Haven never need to venture too far to enjoy a private Sundeck with its own infinity pool, hot tub, sauna & cold room and the most comfortable lounging areas.
