Hello Prima

#Traveltradetogether

Ingrid Hunt (Senior Marketing Manager UK & Ireland NCL) and Aaron Fletcher (Business Manager Ireland) hosted key trade partners in August of 2022 as Norwegian Cruise Line welcomed first of six ships in ground-breaking Prima Class, the brands newest class of ships in nearly a decade last week.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel with a 55-year history of breaking boundaries, took delivery of its newest ship, Norwegian Prima, in Marghera, Venice at the renowned Fincantieri shipyard.

This highly anticipated milestone marks the arrival of the first ship in NCL’s Prima Class that will see six new ships delivered through 2027. Present at the landmark event was Frank Del Rio (President & Chief Executive Officer Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd); Harry Sommer (President and Chief Executive Officer Norwegian Cruise Line); Luigi Matarazzo (General Manager Merchant Ships Division Fincantieri); as well as other notable NCLH and Fincantieri executives. The delivery celebration was followed by the traditional flag exchange ceremony.
