NORWEGIAN Cruise Line has taken delivery of Norwegian Viva, with the brand welcoming the second ship in its Prima-class.
The milestone event at the Fincantieri shipyard marks the arrival of the second of six ships in the Prima-class set to debut through 2028.
Viva will continue to raise the bar on the Prima-class with new dining concepts, most notably Indulge Food Hall, an open-air food market featuring 11 unique eateries.
The ship will debut the Tony Award-nominated production, Beetlejuice, where guests can “Live it Up” with the undead during a musical adaptation of Tim Burton’s fantasy-horror-comedy film of the same name.
Viva also features The Concourse, an outdoor sculpture garden in Ocean Boulevard, the wrap-around boardwalk, which aims to bring guests closer to the water than ever before.
“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,” President David Herrera said.
“Ships as stellar as those of the Prima-class are only possible in collaboration with an incredible shipyard like Fincantieri,” he added.
Norwegian celebrated the delivery of Viva yesterday with a ship launch event in Sydney.
Vice President & Managing Director APAC Ben Angell hosted the event, affirming Norwegian’s domination of some of its key markets.
“Alaska continues to be a really hot market…this destination we’re actually selling more than we’ve ever sold before,” he said.
“Asia and Asia-Pacific is an incredibly important part of our business today, and will become even more important to the business going forward…most advisors know Japan is hot with Australians.
“Hawaii remains incredibly popular for our brand.”
Pictured at the event are Norwegian Director Marketing Michelle Wiederman, Angell, Cruise Lines International Association Managing Director Joel Katz, new Norwegian Public Relations Manager Leanne Fonagy and Director of Sales Damian Borg.
