the Norwegian Viva is the world's newest cruise ship it holds 3 200 passengers has 20 decks over 15 dining options 20 bars a three-story go-kart track and a massive virtual reality arcade and costs 730 million dollars to build

this is the Viva Raceway a unique three-story go-kart track on a cruise ship the only other ship that has this kind of experience is a Norwegian Viva sister ship which debuted last year in 2022 the Norwegian Prima

this is an exclusive part of the ship known as the vibe Beach Club an area you can go to where if you don't want to deal with any Little Rascals or kids however you will have to pay starting at 300 per person for the entire cruise

this is the indulge Food Hall this is new to Norwegian Cruise Line exclusively on the Prima class right now keep in mind there are six of these chips coming up we have the Primo we have the Viva four more of these coming
