Katy Perry got to sprinkle a little “fairy godmother” dust on Norwegian Cruise Line’s latest vessel – the Norwegian Prima – during a star-studded christening ceremony in Reykjavic, Iceland.
Guests at the ceremony were treated to a show-stopping performance by popular Icelandic group Daði og Gagnamagnið before Norwegian Prima’s very own godmother, Katy Perry, took to the main stage to officially name and christen the vessel with the ceremonial champagne bottle break across the ship’s hull. The three-level Prima Theater & Club stage was then transformed into a whimsical backdrop where guests enjoyed a powerhouse performance of some of Perry’s chart-topping hits, including “California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Roar,” and “Firework.”

“It was so much fun to sprinkle some fairy godmother dust on Norwegian Prima and send her on her way to sail the high seas,” said Katy Perry said in an NCL press release. “I always appreciate a family vacation and a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so I was happy to wish all the vacationing guests a happy bon voyage!”
“With her stunning design and unique offerings, Norwegian Prima is in a league of her own,” said Frank Del Rio, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “As the industry’s most spacious new cruise ship featuring ‘only-available-on-Prima-experiences,’ she is continuing NCL’s legacy of industry firsts. We wanted to launch Norwegian Prima in a location just as special and unique as she is, and Reykjavik’s striking landscape is the perfect setting for such a milestone occasion. We thank the Reykjavik community for welcoming us with open arms.”
The Norwegian Prima can accommodate 3,100 guests and boasts the most extensive variety of suite categories available at sea. She’s also home to various recreational activities, including the fastest slides at sea – The Rush and The Drop – and the Prima Speedway – the first three-level racetrack at sea!

Norwegian Prima will depart on inaugural voyages to Northern Europe from the Netherlands, Denmark, and England beginning Sept. 3, 2022, before making her way to the U.S. She will then sail cruises to the Caribbean from New York City, Galveston, Texas, and Miami in October and November before settling into her homeport of Port Canaveral, Fla., and Galveston, Texas for the 2023 and 2024 cruise season.
