Norwegian Viva Commences Cruise Operations in Italy

Norwegian Viva, Norwegian Cruise Line’s second Prima Class ship, made its debut out of Trieste, on a nine-day itinerary that will call other at other Italian ports as well as those in Croatia, Portugal, Spain and France.

Following its inaugural voyage, the ship, which is virtually identical to Norwegian Prima, will operate cruises in the Greek Isles and Mediterranean through November before homeporting in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in December.

“This summer, our guests will have the opportunity to explore Europe aboard our newest magnificent vessel, Norwegian Viva, while enjoying its well-appointed spacious design, elevated experiences, expansive culinary offerings and signature Norwegian Cruise Line hospitality provided by the best crew in the industry,” said Norwegian President David J. Herrera.

“Norwegian Viva’s tagline is ‘Live it Up,’ and I have no doubt our guests will be doing just that while they cruise to some of the liveliest cities in Europe and the Caribbean during the ship’s inaugural season.”

In May 2024, the 143,535 gross ton, 3,100-passenger ship will return to Europe where it will sail on Mediterranean voyages.
