We had 167 people on the last Iceland/Norway cruise in July of 2023 on the Prima and it was an amazing experience. Back by popular demand is this 11-day cruise out of Iceland (Reykjavik) on the 5-star Norwegian Prima. This ship has won numerous awards for cruise ship design and has some awesome amenities. It will be possible to spend two days pre cruise in Iceland's capital Reykjavik and venture into the picturesque Thingvellir National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site offering mountains surrounding a vast, wildflower-carpeted lava field.

Discover destinations of mythological lore, fascinating history and extraordinary beauty with Norwegian Prima - the first in a new class of ships designed to elevate every expectation.
