Norwegian Cruise Line · Norwegian Prima4.4
Norwegian Prima — The Design Bet Paid Off
Smaller than the Oasis and Excel megaships and better for it. The Prima is the most design-forward Norwegian build to date.

Norwegian Cruise Line · Norwegian Encore4.2
Norwegian Encore — Go-Karts, Haven, and Everything After
The last Breakaway Plus ship has aged gracefully. Six years in, the Encore is one of Norwegian's most consistent value picks.
