Norwegian Luna Review

Review of Norwegian Luna

The 2026-built Norwegian Luna cruise ship is the second in the PRIMA PLUS series and the fourth of all six PRIMA-Class NCL liners constructed in Italy by Fincantieri (Monfalcone Yard). Of the same design (Luna's sistership) is Aqua (2025). Aqua's sisterships (by design) are also the 10% smaller (142500 GT-ton) Prima (2022) and Viva (2023), and the 10% larger (172000 GT-ton) TBN5 (2027) and TBN6 (2028).

The vessel (IMO number 9824019) will be Bahamas-flagged (MMSI tba) and registered in Nassau.

Norwegian Luna cruise ship (NCL)

NCL's previous BREAKAWAY PLUS-Class boats were all built by Meyer Werft Germany (in Papenburg).

NCL Luna's hull artwork will be designed by the American graffiti/street artist ELLE (from Napa California). Norwegian Aqua's hull design is titled "La Luna”, displayed on the bow. For the project, ELLE partnered with the renowned fashion brands Nike, Reebok, and Ralph Lauren. The artwork is themed on human beings' connection with the celestial forces and specifically their intrinsic link to the moon.
