About Norwegian Prima
Norwegian Prima launched in August 2022 as the first ship in Norwegian Cruise Line's revolutionary Prima class. At 142,500 gross tons, Prima represents NCL's most innovative ship design with the highest space ratio of any contemporary cruise ship and features that push the boundaries of what's possible at sea.
The ship introduces the Prima Speedway, an elevated three-level electric go-kart racetrack, and The Drop—the first freefall dry slide at sea plunging 10 stories. The Ocean Boulevard wraps around the entire ship at deck 8, offering an outdoor promenade with dining, bars, and ocean views. Inside, Prima features spacious staterooms, with the largest inside cabins in the industry.
Norwegian Prima is ideal for active travelers who want thrilling experiences, premium dining, and more space than typical cruise ships offer. The ship sails to various destinations including the Caribbean, Europe, and Bermuda.

Every Number Matched
The base fare, taxes, and onboard credit lined up perfectly. No fine print, no surprises. That's why I trusted them.
James
Switching From Costco Paid Off
We almost booked with Costco for Royal Caribbean. They offered a small rebate card, but Zipsea added $400 in OBC...
Drew
Incredible perks with Zipsea!
..My party and I can actually utilize the credit for our excursions. What a seamless experience.
Jamie
The Real Deal!
Great OBC offers and comparable price to other sites. Had no issues with the booking or getting the OBC credited to my account. Customer service has been very responsive to my questions and needs.
Rebecca
Exemplary Service
Zipsea was able to give me onboard credit that Celebrity or other agents couldn't match. When the price dropped, I texted Mario and within 5 minutes he repriced my booking and saved me almost $1000.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Norwegian Prima different from other NCL ships?
Norwegian Prima features the highest space ratio of any contemporary cruise ship, with more outdoor deck space, largest-ever inside cabins, and exclusive experiences like the Prima Speedway go-kart track and The Drop freefall slide.
What is the Prima Speedway?
The Prima Speedway is a three-level electric go-kart track extending over the side of the ship. Guests can race at speeds up to 30 mph around a 1,300+ foot track with stunning ocean views.
Does Norwegian Prima have The Haven?
Yes, Norwegian Prima features The Haven by Norwegian, an exclusive ship-within-a-ship concept with premium suites, private restaurant, sundeck, infinity pool, and dedicated 24-hour butler service.
What is onboard credit (OBC)?
Onboard credit is ship money you can use during your cruise—like a prepaid gift card. Spend it on drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, spa treatments, excursions, or onboard shopping.
How does Zipsea give me more onboard credit than others?
Travel agents earn commission on every booking, and most keep it. We don't—we pass back the maximum onboard credit the cruise line allows, every time.
Do I pay more to book with Zipsea?
No. You pay the same published fare you'd see on the cruise line's website.
How much onboard credit will I actually get?
It depends on your fare and the cruise line's rules. As a ballpark, shorter cruises usually allow $50–$100 and longer cruises $150–$500+. When you search a sailing, we show you the exact amount.
