Norwegian Cruise Line announced this week the appointment of the world famous pop icon and “American Idol” judge Katy Perry as the godmother for its record-breaking and innovative newest ship, Norwegian Prima, debuting August 2022. Norwegian Prima readies for the fanatically anticipated August 22 sailing debut with ‘I Kiss a Girl‘ hitmaker as its officiating Godmother. Plus a Spotify playlist is launched to celebrate the partnership.
As the godmother, Perry will not only fulfil the longstanding traditional maritime role of blessing the ship as she leads the ceremonial breaking of the champagne to bid both the eagerly-awaited vessel and its travellers good fortune. She will also perform during the christening ceremony before Norwegian Prima (the first of six Project Leonardo class ships in the Prima Class) sets sail on its inaugural voyages from Reykjavík, Iceland, where the vessel will be the first major cruise ship christened in the Icelandic capital.
“We are so excited to welcome Katy Perry, a one-of-a-kind artist and worldwide sensation,” said Harry Sommer, President and CEO of NCL. “We are so incredibly proud that she will be part of the Norwegian Cruise Line family and look forward to launching our beautiful, innovative ship with her in August.”
Perry is equally excited, and promises to bring onboard her well-documented eccentric, vibrant personality. “I love that I get to christen her with my good vibrations, and I’m so excited for this new, beautiful, high-end, high-tech ship to take the seas, and provide once-in-a-lifetime vacations for so many families,” she says.
Gearing up for a series of long-sought sea tours after NCL’s prolonged Covid-19 hiatus, Norwegian Prima is the company’s most in-demand vessel ever launched, delivering world-class service, thoughtful design and unforgettable itineraries.
While on board, guests can escape to Ocean Boulevard, featuring multiple infinity pools and Oceanwalk glass bridges with breathtaking ocean and destination views, visit Indulge, the Brand’s first-ever upscale international dining open-air marketplace or relax on The Concourse, featuring an outdoor sculpture garden boasting.
“Instagrammable” installations by famed artists David Harber and Alexander Krivosheiw. Designed by the master architects at Piero Lissoni, the ship’s revamped luxurious centralized suite complex, The Haven By Norwegian will feature 107 staterooms spanning eight decks with a stunning new infinity pool overlooking the ship’s wake and a new outdoor spa with a glass-walled sauna and cold room. Most recently, NCL unveiled its remaining culinary and beverage offerings available on Norwegian Prima and Viva, including the Brand’s first sustainably-focused lounge, The Metropolitan and its ultra-upscale Mediterranean seafood specialty restaurant Palomar.
Launching August 2022, Norwegian Prima will offer inaugural voyages to Northern Europe from Southampton, England; Amsterdam; and Reykjavík, Iceland beginning August 12; Bermuda sailings from New York City beginning October 6; and Caribbean itineraries from Galveston, Texas and Miami beginning October 27.
To commemorate this exciting partnership and celebrating other entertainment headliners that will be featured on Norwegian Prima, NCL has put together a celebratory Spotify playlist.
