#norwegianprima – Cruise Ship Profiles

Ahead of her first European Cruise Season

Just after sunrise on 4th June Norwegian Cruise Line’s stunning Norwegian Prima arrived at the Ocean Cruise Terminal in Southampton.

Her arrival marked the end of a transatlantic crossing which included port calls in Iceland, Norway and Northern Europe and with the arrival in Southampton the start of Prima’s first North European cruise season.

Launched in August 2022 Norwegian Prima is the first in a new series of six Prima-Class ships, originally designated as Leonardo-Class.

She was christened in September 2022 by Katy Perry in Reykjavik (Iceland).

Here is me getting up close and personal while she alongside the Ocean Cruise Terminal.

Norwegian Prima will is homeport in Southampton and sail on a series of 10-11 night cruises to the Icelandic capital with stops in Zeebrugge, Amsterdam, Bergen, Geiranger, Alesund, Akureyri, Reykjavik.

Following her stay Norwegian Prima set sail for Zeebrugge late in the afternoon.

Check out the sail away video below and see just how stunning she looked sailing from Southampton in the late afternoon sunshine.
