Summary
Introduction to Norwegian Prima
Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship, ‘Prima,’ has recently made its U.S. debut, introducing passengers to a vessel designed with unparalleled amenities. The ship features a unique “ship-within-a-ship” concept, along with Zen zones, Broadway-style entertainment, and much more.
Winter Getaway Itineraries
During the winter season, Norwegian Prima will offer five-, seven-, and nine-day itineraries to the Caribbean and Bermuda from New York City, Miami, and Orlando (Port Canaveral) through March. Following this period, the ship will sail across the Atlantic from NYC to Iceland, spending the summer exploring Northern Europe. Here are some highlights that make this ship exceptional.
Exploring The Haven
The Haven features Norwegian Cruise Line’s exclusive small ship-within-a-large-ship experience, providing elevated service and amenities. On Norwegian Prima, The Haven boasts private elevators that lead to its 107 Haven suites, but the true charm lies in the additional amenities—such as a private lounge, bar, and restaurant. Outside, guests can unwind in an infinity pool and hot tubs, enjoying an outdoor spa equipped with a glass-walled sauna and cold room. Unique services include a 24-hour butler and concierge, ensuring hassle-free access to all onboard attractions while allowing guests to skip lines and receive personal escort on and off the ship at each port.
Dining at Indulge Food Hall
For those searching for a vibrant dining experience, the complimentary Indulge Food Hall is a must-visit. This culinary haven offers international cuisine available for order directly from your table. My favorites were the Australian lamb chops from the Seaside Rotisserie, complemented by choices from Indian, Latin, Italian, and barbecue cuisines. The meal options extend to a variety of desserts, with Coco’s featuring upscale chocolates and eye-catching ice cream sundaes and shakes for an additional cost. Indulge’s stylish setup includes both indoor and outdoor seating, along with cozy corners perfect for a quiet moment of relaxation.
Entertainment Options
Moreover, Norwegian Prima elevates onboard entertainment to the next level. Thrill-seekers can experience the Prima Speedway, the first three-story racetrack at sea, or take a plunge down The Drop, a thrilling free-fall dry slide. The Galaxy Pavilion offers virtual experiences like racing simulators and escape rooms. Guests can enjoy a variety of games such as pickleball and high-tech miniature golf at The Stadium, alongside a classic casino experience. Live music enthusiasts will find duos and bands performing in various venues, ensuring there’s always something exciting happening onboard.
Finding Zen Onboard
For relaxation, Norwegian Prima provides numerous Zen zones to unwind and enjoy the tranquility of sea life. Deck eight features intimate spaces perfect for contemplation or simply gazing out at the ocean. Guests can stroll along Ocean Boulevard, which includes glass walkways offering a view beneath the waves. Additionally, Mandara Spa & Salon promises a range of soothing treatments. Loungers at La Terraza or Infinity Beach invite you to bask in the infinity pool, giving the sensation of being on the edge of the world while sailing.
