Norwegian Cruise Line has announced the premiere of its new episode of “EMBARK with NCL”, a two-part chapter that chronicles the launch of its most cutting-edge ship to date, the Norwegian Prima.
For the first time, NCL invites viewers to the christening ceremony and celebration with this first episode, “Christening Norwegian Prima: First in Class.” Viewers can enjoy the exclusive event, which begins with a preview of the opening ceremony at HARPA Concert Hall, the epicenter of Iceland’s cultural arts. The evening included performances by award-winning Icelandic singer-songwriter Briet and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. The festivities continue when godmother Katy Perry boards Norwegian Prima to officially name and christen the ship with the ceremonial breaking of a champagne bottle against the hull, marking the start of Norwegian Prima’s maiden voyage.
In the second part, “Norwegian Prima: Discover Innovation,” viewers can witness the brand’s and industry’s first-ever experiences debuting on board the ship, including the Indulge Food Hall with 11 different restaurants; the three-level Prima Speedway; two adrenaline-pumping water slides, The Drop and Rush; the sustainable Metropolitan Bar; and a three-story transformational theater presenting “The Price is Right” and the Tony Award®-nominated musical “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.
“With the debut of the Prima Class, we wanted our guests to be amazed from the moment they stepped aboard, instantly creating lifelong memories with family and friends,” said Harry Sommer, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line. “And what better way to begin that first memory than by christening the Norwegian Prima in one of the most beautiful and spectacular countries in the world, Iceland. With this episode of 'EMBARK with NCL,' I’m thrilled to offer our guests, for the first time, the opportunity to experience this important milestone firsthand and inspire them to join us for the vacation of their dreams at sea.
