Norwegian Prima — Deck Plans, Live Tracker, Dining & Videos

Norwegian Prima offers complimentary dining including the main dining room and buffet. Specialty restaurants vary by ship and may require reservations or carry an additional charge. Check the dining section above for specific venues available on this ship.

Deck plans are available through the links on this page. You can also find official deck plans on the Norwegian Cruise Line website or in the cruise planner app.

Norwegian Prima offers Caribbean cruises from Galveston and seasonal European voyages. As NCL's first Prima Class ship (debuted 2022), she introduced groundbreaking design elements. Check the Norwegian Cruise Line website for current itineraries and departure ports.

Norwegian Prima features the three-story Prima Speedway go-kart race track, The Drop free-fall dry slide, and Vibe Beach Club adults-only area. The ship introduced Ocean Boulevard wraparound promenade, Indulge Food Hall, and innovative Infinity Beach design with glass railings.

Nobody can promise you great service, but the staffing numbers are on Prima's side. NCL lists her at 3,195 guests (double occupancy) and 1,506 crew. That's about 2.1 guests for every crew member.

By NCL's own figures, Norwegian Encore runs about 2.3 guests per crew member and Norwegian Breakaway about 2.4. So Prima has more crew per guest than those bigger ships.

One honest caution. That crew count is everybody who works aboard, from the engine room and the bridge to the laundry, not only the waiters, bartenders and cabin stewards you'll meet. Treat the ratio as a good sign, not a guarantee.

By the numbers she's roomier than NCL's bigger Breakaway-class ships. Prima measures 143,535 gross tons for 3,195 guests. That's about 45 gross tons per guest, a number cruisers call the space ratio.

Her sister, Norwegian Viva, has the same tonnage, guest count and crew, so the two match exactly. Count the crew as well as the guests and Prima has about 30.5 gross tons for every person aboard.

Two things to keep in mind. Those guest counts assume two people per cabin, so holiday sailings with kids in the third and fourth berths run fuller. And any ship feels busier at the busiest hour of the busiest day.

What "gross tonnage per guest" means. Gross tonnage isn't weight. It's a measure of how big the inside of a ship is. Under the 1969 International Tonnage Convention, gross tonnage is, in the IMO's words, "a function of the moulded volume of all enclosed spaces of the ship." Divide it by the number of guests and you get the space ratio: roughly, how much ship there is per person. Bigger number, more room.

It isn't square feet you get to use. The volume counts engine rooms, galleys and crew quarters along with the decks you'll walk. No cruise line publishes usable square feet per guest, and we won't make one up. The space ratio is at its best comparing one ship with another, like the table above.
