64 INTERIOR VIEW Norwegian Luna With Norwegian Luna, Norwegian Cruise Line evolves its Prima Plus vision, where spacious, light-filled interiors and fluid indooroutdoor living come together to enhance the onboard experience The Aqua Slidecoaster is Norwegian Cruise Line’s hybrid waterslide and rollercoaster Norwegian Cruise Line launched its second Prima Plus-class ship, Norwegian Luna, in Italy on 10 March 2026. Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri built the 3,565-passenger ship as a sister ship to Norwegian Aqua, which debuted in April 2025. Both ships are 10 per cent larger (approximately 27 metres longer) than their Prima-class predecessors, Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva. “The Prima Plus class sets a new benchmark for the industry, thanks to cutting-edge design solutions and a level of construction excellence showcased by our Marghera shipyard,” says Luigi Matarazzo, general manager of the merchant ships division at Fincantieri. The overarching vision for Norwegian Luna’s interiors, designed by architects AD Associates, Piero Lissoni, Rockwell Group, SMC Design and Studio DADO, was to “elevate every moment of the guests’ journey through intentionally designed venues and experiences,” says Gary Anslow, vice president and head of UK and Ireland, Norwegian Cruise Line. “The ship is a physical manifestation of our ‘It’s Different Out Here’ brand ethos, which focuses on delivering freedom, flexibility and a sense of ease. “Throughout the ship, the interiors are designed to blur the boundary between inside and out, strengthening the connection between guests and the ocean. This is evident in venues such as the Penrose Atrium, where expansive window fronts on deck seven flood the space with natural light and create a constant visual link to the sea, making it both a welcoming social hub and a key circulation space. The same design philosophy extends to our dining venues, from Palomar’s refined Mediterranean elegance to Sukhothai’s contemporary interpretation of Thai design, where interiors are carefully crafted to reflect both place and atmosphere. Moreover, expansive outside decks like our signature Ocean Boulevard, a 360-degree promenade located on deck eight, create a strong connection to the sea, delivering a sleek, contemporary aesthetic that brings boutique hotel sophistication to world-class cruising.” The ship features 1,809 staterooms, including inside, oceanview and balcony staterooms, as well as suites, which Image: Norwegian Cruise Line
