Creator's Key Takeaways

The breakfast here on Norwegian at Cersa is absolutely delicious.

This is one of the most beautiful atriums I have ever seen on a cruise ship.

The observation is very quiet and a low-key place to come.

I absolutely love this food hall concept.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Come early to get a seat at improv and Sid Norman's, as it fills up extremely fast.
If you want to sit at the bar at Indulge Food Hall, you can only order from that specific bar.
Get out early to secure a first-come, first-serve day bed on the infinity pool deck.

YouTube Video Description

Welcome aboard Norwegian Viva! In this video, I’m taking you on a full deck-by-deck ship tour of Norwegian Viva while we’re docked in Roatán, Honduras. This is a full walkthrough of the ship so you can see what Norwegian Viva is actually like, how the public spaces are laid out, where the dining venues are, what the top decks look like, and how this Prima Class ship feels in real life. We start high up on the sun decks and outdoor areas, including the Wave waterslide entrance, the kids splash pad, lounging areas, the smoking section, the pool deck, Surfside Café, Vibe Beach Club, the sports deck, mini golf, darts, the stadium games area, and the Viva Speedway with its multi-level go-kart track. If you’re trying to get a feel for Norwegian Viva’s outdoor spaces, this video gives you a really solid look at what’s up there. From there, the tour moves through some of the ship’s most important dining and hangout spaces, including Food Republic, Palomar, the Observation Lounge, Galaxy Pavilion, the Studio Lounge for solo travelers, Ocean Boulevard, Onda by Scarpetta, the Norwegian Viva merch shop, the photo gallery, Local Bar & Grill, Los Lobos, the infinity pool, and Indulge Food Hall with an explanation of how ordering works there. Later in the tour, we head into the ship’s more central indoor spaces, including the Viva Theater, Guest Services, Starbucks, the internet café, the shore excursions desk, Sid Norman’s Pour House, the main dining rooms Hudson’s and The Commodore Room, Cagney’s Steakhouse, and the casino. So if you’re researching Norwegian Viva before you book, or trying to decide if this ship is a good fit for you, this video should help you get a very complete picture of the layout. If you’re booked on Norwegian Viva, considering Norwegian Prima, Viva, Aqua, Luna, or the rest of the Prima Class, or you just love watching cruise ship tours before a trip, this one should be super useful. Let me know in the comments: would you book Norwegian Viva for the Observation Lounge and Ocean Boulevard alone, or are you more interested in the Speedway and outdoor decks?
