ORLANDO, Fla. — Norwegian Cruise Line has six planned sister ships in its new Prima class, the first of which will begin sailing with passengers in just a couple of weeks and is headed to Florida later this year.
The cruise line took delivery of Norwegian Prima at a ceremony at the Fincantieri shipyards in Marghera, Italy, in July, and it’s set for a series of European sailings before a mini-tour of New York, Galveston, Texas, and Miami before it calls Port Canaveral home for the winter sailing season.
But as line gears up for a christening event with godmother Katy Perry sailing from Iceland on Aug. 27, the line also has reached a milestone with Prima’s first sister ship Norwegian Viva, which was floated out at the same shipyard on Aug. 2.
