The Queen of Disco will be sharing the love on board Norwegian Prima when she debuts in Amsterdam in August 2022.
Tony Award-nominated Summer: The Donna Summer Musical will be the 142,000 gross tonnage ship’s Broadway-style immersive headliner – telling the story of the late star’s incredible life. The three-story theatre also transforms into a high-energy nightclub so passengers can boogie the night away to dance floor smashes such as Love to Love You Baby, Love’s Unkind and I Feel Love.
Other innovations on 3,215 passenger Prima – under construction near Venice – will include a go-kart track that goes through the funnel, a freefall dry slide where riders plunge 10 decks, escape rooms and live gameshows The Price is Right and Supermarket Sweep. Norwegian line chief Harry Sommer said: “We’re not just elevating the guest experience, we’re giving it an adrenaline rush and multisensory overload.”
After her Northern Europe launch, which includes a visit to Southampton, Prima will head to Galveston, Texas, for winter voyages to the Caribbean. ncl.com
