Norwegian Cruise Line's popularity is at an all-time high as the cruise industry continues to take off after the 2020 shutdowns. More people are cruising now than in 2019, and the numbers are only expected to grow over the next few years and beyond. To meet the demands, NCL has made plans for ship orders through 2036. Over the course of next 12 years, the Norwegian fleet is set to welcome 8 newly commissioned vessels, among which 4 will belong to the innovative Prima-Plus Class. This new class is poised to elevate the standards set by the existing Prima Class, and take them to a whole other level.
