Norwegian Cruise Lines

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is boosting the size of its Prima Class ships, unveiling the all-new Norwegian Aqua – the first of the expanded Prima Plus Class ships and setting sail in April 2025.

Meet NCL’s newest dream team at sea, Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, the first two ships in a brand-new class designed to elevate every expectation. From 360-degree views and infinity pools on Ocean Boulevard to the first thrilling three-level racetrack at sea, guests can look forward to an incredible variety of all-new experiences.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NCLH) has extended the suspension of its global cruise voyages as the company continues to put in place a return-to-service plan to meet the requirements of the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order issued by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The ultra-luxury ocean cruise segment is growing exponentially each year, with vessels already in the top-of-the-line flotilla being out-done by newer technology advances, extravagant suites, fancier restaurants and onboard and off-ship experiences from which consumers can choose. The advancements can make pairing the right cruise product for the right client a challenge for agents, especially since the word “luxury” has been so heavily “bastardised”, says Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ (NCLH) Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Steve Odell.

Add one more travel segment that Forbes Travel Guide (“FTG”) is now affording its star rating: river cruises.
