The vessel – which is the first major cruise ship to be officially named in the Icelandic capital – is the first of six ships in Norwegian Cruise Line’s new Prima-class and was due to sail to Cork, Portland, Le Havre and Amsterdam following the ceremony.
Prima will then offer voyages to the Caribbean from New York, Galveston, Texas, and Miami in October and November before settling into its homeport of Port Canaveral and Galveston for the 2023 and 2024 season.
