Norwegian Cruises has officially welcomed guests to set sail aboard Norwegian Viva, the cruise line’s newest ship and second of the Prima Class!

Today, Norwegian Viva has embarked on her maiden voyage from Venice, Italy, on a nine-day trip through the Mediterranean. Guests will travel from Venice, Italy, to Lisbon, Portugal making stops in Salerno, Cannes, Ibiza, and more. Norwegian Viva will take passengers through the Mediterranean from now through November before returning to her home port of 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 David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. “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.”
