We’ve waited since 2019 for a new Norwegian Cruise Line ship, but thankfully with international pop sensation and Godmother Katy Perry on hand in Reykjavík, Iceland over the weekend, the wait for Norwegian Prima has ended!
Alongside President and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Frank Del Rio, cruise line President and CEO Harry Sommer and radio host Elvis Durand, Perry christened the ship and held a concert on board for those in attendance. Her set list included hits like “California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Roar,” and “Firework.”
“It was so much fun to sprinkle some fairy godmother dust on Norwegian Prima and send her on her way to sail the high seas,” said Katy Perry. “I always appreciate a family vacation and a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so I was happy to wish all the vacationing guests a happy bon voyage!”
