Our Fleet

With 19 world class vessels, Norwegian Cruise Line has one of the most nimble and contemporary fleets in the industry. Sixteen ships are divided among six different classes, including the Sun, Dawn, Jewel, Breakaway, Breakaway Plus Class, and Prima Class. Norwegian Epic, Pride of America and Norwegian Spirit are in their own classes, adding to the brand’s variety of vessels. 

In 2023, Norwegian Cruise Line welcomed Norwegian Viva into the fleet, the second ship of the next generation Prima Class, the most innovative and successful class in the Company’s history. The Company has placed an additional four ships on order from 2025 to 2028. The new class will build upon the brand’s legacy of freedom and flexibility found across its fleet and feature a host of cutting-edge designs that will further elevate its already award-winning guest experience.
