Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) christened Norwegian
Prima in Reykjavík, the first major cruise ship to ever be
christened in the city.
Norwegian Prima will depart on inaugural voyages
to Northern Europe from Netherlands, Denmark and England
beginning 3 September 2022, before making her way to the U.S.
She
will then sail voyages to the Caribbean from New York City,
Galveston, Texas and Miami in October and November before
settling into her homeport of Port Canaveral, Florida, and
Galveston, Texas for the 2023 and 2024 cruise season.
Norwegian Prima is the first of six ships that
will make up the
Prima Class.

“With her stunning design and unique offerings,
Norwegian Prima is in a league of her own,” said Frank Del Rio,
president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line
Holdings Ltd. “As the industry’s most spacious new cruise ship
featuring ‘only-available-on-Prima-experiences’, she is continuing
NCL's legacy of industry firsts. We wanted to launch Norwegian
Prima in a location just as special and unique as she is, and
Reykjavik's striking landscape is the perfect setting for such a
milestone occasion. We thank the Reykjavik community for welcoming
us with open arms.”
Guests at the christening ceremony were treated to
a performance by Katy Perry, Norwegian Prima’s godmother,
who took to the main stage to
officially name and christen the vessel with the ceremonial
champagne bottle break across the ship’s hull.
The three-level
Prima Theater & Club stage was then transformed into a whimsical
backdrop where guests enjoyed a powerhouse performance of some of
Perry’s chart-topping hits, including 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!”
