Overview
The second in her class, Norwegian Viva is every bit as exciting, spacious and relaxing as her sister ship, Norwegian Prima.
Filled with onboard activities to get your heart racing, Norwegian Viva is the perfect destination for your next family vacation! But it’s not all families.
Book your spot in The Haven, a luxurious, adults-only section of the ship with suites, a private pool and deck and even an exclusive eatery! You and your special someone can enjoy the luxurious, ship-within-a-ship feel on a romantic getaway.
Norwegian Viva has a little bit of something for everyone, including your favorites from Norwegian Cruise Line, like a go kart track (now three levels high!) and The Local Bar & Grill!

This was the most helpful and hospitable staff we’ve ever experienced on any of our cruises. We got to the ship early and we’re able to get on in a very quick manner. Of all the cruises we’ve ever been on our bags were delivered to our cabin faster than any of them. The specialty restaurants we used were excellent. The Japanese Hasuki Teppanyaki style restaurant was wonderful. I had the best scallops and shrimp I’ve ever had. My only criticism is that as the chefs are pretty much singing throughout the whole time it got kind of loud. I really like the indulge food hall. There are a number of cuisines one can order from here, including Indian and tapas and Asian noodles and barbecue. And there is more but you can sit at one table or one place in order anything from any of these venues on a tablet and it’s delivered quickly to your table. All in all, this was a fantastic cruise. I would definitely cruise the ship or any of it sister ships again.
Pros: Best staff of our 21 cruises. Innovative dining in Indulge food hall.
Cons: Pool too small

Overall the layout of the ship is fantastic. There could have been a little more outdoor activities for younger kids. Aqua park is really mediocre compared to other ncl ships. Otherwise we had a great experience on the Viva.
Pros: The staff, dinning options,overall layout of the ship, modern design of the cabins
Cons: Not to child friendly,

You couldn’t have a cocktail and have a cigarette and sit down on a lounge chair. We were cramped in a little corner of the boat on the top floor, which had no elevator too. Being handicapped the stairs were a bit much.
Pros: Staff amazing
Cons: Only 1 small area for smoking

Haven menu is the same every day. You need to ask about the special rather than the wait staff automatically telling you. Indulge food hall fun option as well as the Local. Buffet way too small and insane especially for breakfast.
Pros: Haven and staff there were very good.
Cons: Food very bland. Public spaces too small and couldn’t get into venues for entertainment unless you got there super early
