Tortola, British Virgin Islands - Discovered by Christopher Columbus himself in 1493, this exotic, peaceful island is home to both towering mahogany trees and white-sand beaches. The region offers a challenging hike that extends 1,780 feet up Sage Mountain. A great spot for great birdwatching and breathtaking views of Tortola and neighboring islands.
St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands - The waterfront warehouses where gold-hungry pirates once stored their booty now house treasure of another kind: duty-free china, watches, jewelry and other luxury goods. Shopping is one of the big onshore attractions in Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the US Virgin Islands. Offshore, colorful coral reefs in turquoise waters lure snorkelers and scuba divers from all over the world. And everywhere, there’s spectacular scenery everyone can enjoy!
Willemstad, Curacao - Walk around this quaint harbor town and you’ll think you’ve travelled back in time to Old Amsterdam. Admire the colorful Dutch architecture and take advantage of the excellent shopping. Relax on 17-century veranda with a drink made with the famous Curaçao liqueur.
Oranjestad, Aruba - Incredible white sands and cobalt blue seas make the small island of Aruba a popular destination. In the bustling freeport town of Oranjestad, sherbet-colored Dutch colonial buildings, draped in bougainvillea, oleander and hibiscus are simply picturesque. Small, but informative museums relate the island’s history.
THE NORWEGIAN PRIMA - The Norwegian Prima, the flagship of NCL’s innovative Prima Class, represents a significant shift toward a more upscale, intimate cruising experience. Often described as a “boutique hotel at sea,” it trades the overwhelming scale of mega-ships for refined design and a focus on open-air connections to the ocean. What sets the Prima apart is its spaciousness and design. It boasts the highest staffing levels and space ratio of any new contemporary cruise ship, ensuring you never feel lost in a crowd. While the ship features high-tech thrills like a three-level racetrack, an aqua park, the bull’s eye, arcade, casino, tee time, and more, it is exceptionally well-suited for seniors who prioritize comfort, accessibility, and high-quality leisure with a refined atmosphere, superior accessibility, and intimate dining experiences.
To the trailblazers and the tastemakers. To the first-time seekers and explorers of the Extraordinary. This one was made for you. Welcome aboard Norwegian Prima, the first in a new class of ships designed to elevate every expectation. Explore the greater wide open with the most outdoor deck space of any new cruise ship. Unwind in our most spacious accommodations and enjoy first-rate service so you won’t wait a second for that second round. Take a 360° seaside stroll along Ocean Boulevard. Take your taste buds on a delicious journey through the Indulge Food Hall. Or dip into the horizon in one of our infinity pools. Learn more about Norwegian Prima's experiences, designed to elevate every expectation.
What sets the Prima apart is its spaciousness and design. It boasts the highest staffing levels and space ratio of any new contemporary cruise ship, ensuring you never feel lost in a crowd.
Ocean Boulevard: A massive 44,000-square-foot outdoor walkway that circles the entire ship on Deck 8. It features infinity pools that seem to drop off into the horizon, glass walkways (Oceanwalk) for a thrill, and an outdoor sculpture garden called The Concourse.
Indulge Food Hall: This is a game-changer for cruise dining. Instead of a traditional buffet line, you sit at a table and order from a tablet, choosing from nearly a dozen different global cuisines (Indian, Italian, Texas BBQ, etc.) that are brought directly to you.
The Penrose Atrium: A stunning three-story, glass-walled space that serves as the heart of the ship. It’s filled with natural light, sophisticated lounges, and retail, offering a much more elegant "living room" feel than most ship hubs.
While the ship features high-tech thrills like a three-level racetrack, it is exceptionally well-suited for seniors who prioritize comfort, accessibility, and high-quality leisure.
Refined Atmosphere: The ship’s decor is modern and sophisticated, avoiding the neon "party ship" vibe. The focus is on relaxation, with quiet spots like La Terrazza and the Observation Lounge providing perfect places for reading or watching the sea.
Superior Accessibility: The Prima was built with modern ADA standards in mind. It features over 40 accessible staterooms with wider doorways and roll-in showers. Elevators serve every deck, and public areas are designed with smooth thresholds to accommodate walkers and scooters.
Intimate Dining Experiences: For those who find large, noisy dining halls overwhelming, the Prima offers smaller, more intimate venues. Hudson’s, the main dining room, offers 270-degree floor-to-ceiling views, allowing for a scenic, sit-down meal that feels like a high-end restaurant rather than a banquet hall
Ready to race the sea breeze like never before? The Prima Speedway is longer, larger and zoomier than ever. Be the first to speed across the horizon on the first three-level race track at sea.
Play it up at The Stadium where complimentary tabletop shuffleboard, pickleball, subsoccer, and beer pong guarantee a good time for all. Check out a few twists on classic games like ping pong and foosball.
Level up your fun at the Arcade! Take on thrilling challenges — capture aliens, pilot a fighter jet, race to the finish, and more. Can you rise to the top and claim the highest score?
Discover a modern twist on a classic game. Sit back and play a round of darts with your favorite crew.
Bossa Nova Beat: Let blistering Bossa Nova beats transport you from the mainstage of Norwegian Prima to the heart of Havana. Burn the Floor, a high-voltage theatrical dance group, will immerse you in the fiery rhythm of Samba, the sultry Cuban beats of Salsa, and the tantalizing allure of the Rumba. Get lost in the mesmerising choreography and spicy moves of this one-of-a-kind performance.
Syd Norman’s Presents: Rumours - Step into rock history as Syd Norman’s cast brings Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours to life—performed in full with the gripping true tales behind the music. Love, heartbreak, betrayal—it’s more than an album; it’s rock and roll’s most dramatic story, told track by iconic track.
Red, White, & British: Join us for an electrifying journey through the vibrant world of British Pop Music! Celebrating the iconic sounds that defined generations, starting with the legendary U.S. debut of The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. Feel the pulsating energy as we dive into the dazzling pop culture of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, featuring legendary artists like Wham!, Queen, and Elton John. And don’t miss the magic of today’s UK pop sensations, including Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and the extraordinary Adele. Showcasing the best vocalists, musicians, and dancers at sea with stunning choreography and sensational performances, you’ll experience the British Pop invasion like never before.
BROADWAY CABARET: Features Norwegian Prima Production Vocalists and Percussionists, but this is not your grandparents’ Broadway cabaret! Brace yourself for an unforgettable evening of favorite showtunes presented as you’ve never heard before in a bold new way, reimagined with Syd Norman’s signature rock style. Expect a lively performance that transforms songs from musicals like West Side Story, CATS, and Hamilton into hard-hitting, fun, and engaging rock anthems. The Broadway Cabaret: Rock Edition has something for everyone…well, everyone that ROCKS!
Deal or No Deal - Enjoy an exhilarating show where contestants play & deal for cash in a high-energy contest of nerves and intuition. Play cards will be available for purchase onboard.
