Norwegian Luna

Set to launch in July 2023, Norwegian Viva will be the second Prima-class ship to debut from Norwegian Cruise Line. The 3,219-passenger ship will feature many of the new concepts that Norwegian is introducing on Norwegian Prima in 2022.

Norwegian Viva Deck Plans Include Plenty of Restaurants, Outdoor Space, Plus a Racetrack and A Slide

Norwegian Viva will follow the pattern set out by Norwegian Prima, where The Haven -- the line's more upscale "ship within a ship" – is laid out at the back of the ship. This makes Norwegian Viva look more like a Miami condo building than a typical cruise ship.

Thrill-seekers will be happy to know that the popular top deck go-cart track will reappear on Norwegian Viva; the Viva Speedway will span three levels. Norwegian Prima will also have two freefall drop dry slides, The Rush and The Drop.

Other notable features on the deck plan include Ocean Boulevard, a 44,000-square-foot outdoor walkway that wraps around the entire ship with pools and restaurant; The Concourse outdoor sculpture garden; Indulge Food Hall with 11 different eateries; the Oceanwalk glass bridges and Infinity Beach.

Norwegian Viva to Bring Broadway Show Beetlejuice The Musical to the Seas

Norwegian Viva will become the first ship to offer the Tony Award-nominated "Beetlejuice" The Musical at sea. A 90-minute Broadway adaptation of Tim Burton's iconic 1988 movie of the same name, the musical will take place in Norwegian Viva's three-story Vivia Theatre and Club, complete with immersive special effects and cutting-edge lighting and audio.
