Fincantieri merchant ships division general manager Luigi Matarazzo said: “Norwegian Viva, the second of six Prima Class vessels being built with us, reinforces the great collaboration between Norwegian Cruise Line and Fincantieri.

“We were extremely satisfied that Norwegian Prima, the first of the new class, earned record-breaking bookings, and we are excited to see how Norwegian Viva will live up to her sister ship. As we proved our resilience during these challenging times, this announcement represents another testament to Fincantieri’s global leadership role in the cruise sector.”

The new ship will include a 44,000ft² outdoor walkway, Oceanwalk, Indulge Food Hall, concourse, pool decks and infinity style pools.

Both Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva will be equipped with green technologies, including a NOx reduction system (SCR).

This solution is expected to cut down the overall environmental impact of the ships.

The Prima Class vessels will also be installed with an Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (EGCS) and Advanced Wastewater Treatment System.

With Cold Ironing functionality, the ships will be able to connect with onshore power grids for minimising emissions while docked in port.
