MIAMI,
March 17, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in
global cruise travel, announced today that world famous pop icon
and "American Idol" judge Katy Perry
will serve as the godmother to its record-breaking and innovative
newest ship, Norwegian Prima, debuting August 2022.
Norwegian Cruise Line announced pop icon Katy Perry will serve as the godmother to its
newest ship, Norwegian Prima.
As godmother, Perry will not only fulfill the longstanding
maritime tradition of blessing and officially naming Norwegian
Prima, the first of six vessels in the Prima Class, but she will
perform during the christening ceremony before Norwegian Prima sets
sail on its inaugural voyages from Reykjavík, Iceland, where the vessel will be the first
major cruise ship christened in the Icelandic capital.
A vital and familiar element of any ship launch and dating back
centuries, the highly regarded tradition of appointing a ship's
godmother is a fundamental nautical custom during which the
selected godmother officiates a ceremonial breaking of a champagne
bottle on the ship's bow to bid the vessel and its travelers good
fortune.
"We are so excited to welcome Katy
Perry, a one-of-a-kind artist and worldwide sensation, as
godmother of Norwegian Prima," 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."
"My most favorite way to vacation with my family is on the
water. Every morning that you wake up, you get to experience an
incredible new view," said Katy
Perry. "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."
Norwegian Prima is the company's most in-demand vessel ever
launched, delivering world-class service, thoughtful design,
unforgettable itineraries, and an unrivaled guest
experience.
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 Aug.12; Bermuda sailings from New York City beginning Oct. 6; and Caribbean itineraries from Galveston, Texas and Miami beginning Oct. 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. For more
