Norwegian Prima

Caribbean Winters from San Juan, Summers in the Fjords and Iceland

From November to March, Norwegian Prima is based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, running 7-night round-trips through the islands. Stops change between departures, but you might see Road Town on Tortola, Saint Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Saint Martin. Some December and January sailings head further south, with Bonaire, Curaçao and Aruba among the calls. Our Caribbean cruise deals with Norwegian Cruise Line show which winter dates are open.

In summer she sails between Southampton and Reykjavik, threading the Norwegian fjords on the way to Iceland. The 11-night voyages leave Southampton in June, July and August and end in Reykjavik. The 10-night return leaves Reykjavik in June, July and September and finishes in Southampton. Ports vary, but Geiranger Fjord, Ålesund and Bergen are typical in Norway, with Akureyri and Ísafjördur on the Icelandic side. Southampton is a train ride or a drive away for most of Britain, so no flight is needed to board there. The dates are on Norway cruises from Southampton in 2027.

Occasional one-off sailings also start from Rome (Civitavecchia) and Ravenna in Italy. Wherever a sailing needs a flight, whether out to San Juan or Reykjavik or home from Iceland, we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers as one holiday.

She sails in Norwegian Cruise Line’s Prima Class with ships including Norwegian Viva and Norwegian Aqua. Other ships in the line, including Norwegian Epic, are on our Norwegian Cruise Line page.

Palomar, Onda by Scarpetta and Food Republic

Norwegian Prima’s speciality dining is built around restaurants with very different characters. Palomar is a casually sophisticated room for Mediterranean seafood, with wine and cocktail pairings built around fresh fish. Onda by Scarpetta brings the celebrated Italian restaurant’s modern take on pasta and seafood to sea, without the formality, and booking ahead is recommended. Food Republic serves Asian-Latin fusion in tapas portions made for sharing, open for dinner every evening and for lunch on sea days.

All of these are à la carte, as are the line’s familiar Cagney’s Steakhouse and Le Bistro. If speciality dinners are the point of your trip, the Free at Sea fare bundles a speciality dining package with a premium beverage package for the first two guests.

Comedy Nights, Sport at The Local and a Lounge for Solo Travellers

Evenings on Norwegian Prima run from live stand-up at Levity Comedy to a game on the screens at The Local Bar & Grill. Levity brings professional comedians for several shows each cruise. Entry is free and seats go to whoever arrives first. The Local is a relaxed pub serving fish and chips and Reuben sandwiches alongside beers and cocktails, with food and drinks charged unless they are in a beverage package. Solo travellers have the Studio Lounge, a private space to meet one another over a drink.

Norwegian Prima Cabins and Deck Plans

Norwegian Prima’s suite enclave is The Haven, a ship within a ship tucked away at the top of the vessel. Its guests have a concierge and a 24-hour butler, plus their own restaurant, sundeck and bar. The Norwegian Prima cabins and deck plans show where The Haven sits and how her nine cabin decks are laid out.
