Norwegian Viva

What it's like

• A very large ship: it usually feels steady, with mild motion in normal seas.
• Lots of room per guest, so pool decks and lines feel calmer than on most ships.
• New (2023), with the line's newest features.
• A kids' club for families, plus adults-only space for a quieter escape.

Highlights: The Drop & The Rush multi-deck freefall dry slides, Speedway go-kart tracks at sea, sculpture garden outdoor spaces, and immersive theater/lounges.

Where to book your cabin

• For the least motion, choose a cabin low and in the middle of the ship (midship), near the central elevators.
• For quiet, avoid cabins directly under the pool deck, buffet, theater or nightclub, and right beside the elevators or service areas.
• Cabins at the very front feel the most pitching in rough seas; cabins at the very back can feel some vibration from the engines.
• Some balcony cabins have partly blocked views (lifeboats, for example); the deck plan marks them, so check before you book.

Sister ships

Built to the same design (Prima Class), so they feel very similar on board:
