This is genuinely unusual for a cruise itinerary. The ship embarks in Rome (Civitavecchia) on Day 2, sails west and then north through Spain and France, loops back through Tuscany, and makes a second stop in Rome on Day 8 before continuing south and east toward Greece, Montenegro, and Croatia. It's a chance to see anything missed on your first day, or revisit a favorite, without planning a single extra excursion.

Norwegian Prima, launched in 2022, was the first ship of NCL's Prima Class, and it has a sister ship, Norwegian Viva. At about 143,500 gross tons and approximately 3,100 passengers at double occupancy, it is smaller than NCL's newer Prima Plus ships, Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna, which carry around 3,550 passengers. Its design includes Ocean Boulevard, a wraparound outdoor promenade.

• Ocean Walk, NCL's first glass bridge, lets you walk out over the water. 
• The Concourse is a seaside sculpture garden with interactive art installations. 
• Mandara Spa has multiple saunas and a two-story waterfall, and an Infinity Pool rounds out the outdoor spaces. 
• Dining includes Onda by Scarpetta for Italian cuisine, Los Lobos for Mexican, The Latin Quarter, and Indulge Food Hall, a collection of mini-restaurants and food trucks. 
• In the evenings, Broadway Cabaret and rock tribute shows run alongside comedy and game shows.
