Norwegian Viva, the second of six Prima class newbuildings for Norwegian Cruise Line, has been floated out at the Marghera shipyard of Fincantieri.

“The Prima Class is based on a prototype project developed by Fincantieri, which enhances the consolidated features of NCL’s signature offering of freedom and flexibility, qualified by an innovative configuration for an elevated passenger experience. In addition, focus was set on energy efficiency, with the twofold aim of optimising consumption at sea and reducing environmental impact, compliant with all the most recent regulations on this matter,” Fincantieri said in a statement.

Norwegian Prima, the first unit of the 142,500 gross ton, was delivered on 29 July. The ships have accommodation for 3,215 passengers.
