Norwegian Cruise Line has opened bookings for Norwegian Bella, its sixth and final Prima Class ship, which will offer seven-day Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona in May 2028.

The 170,000-gross-tonne vessel will be approximately 1,129 feet long and will accommodate 3,921 guests at double occupancy.


It will join Norwegian Aura, scheduled for delivery in May 2027, as one of the largest ships in Norwegian Cruise Line’s fleet.

"Norwegian Bella marks a milestone moment in our fleet as the culmination of our award-winning Prima Class," said Marc Kazlauskas, president of Norwegian Cruise Line.

"Drawing on the innovations and guest feedback that have shaped the class from the very beginning, Norwegian Bella brings together our most sought-after experiences in one extraordinary ship," he added.

Norwegian Bella’s inaugural season will include stops in Rome, Florence and Salerno in Italy, Marseille in France and Palma de Mallorca in Spain.

The cruise ship will also feature the fleet’s second Ocean Heights activities complex, spanning decks 18 to 21. Attractions include the Bella Free Fall waterslide, Eclipse Racers, The Wave raft waterslide and The Drop, a dry slide that descends 10 decks. The complex will also feature a ropes course, mini golf and the Moon Climber adventure course.

Ocean Boulevard, an outdoor promenade on deck eight, will feature infinity pools, hot tubs, an outdoor bar and Infinity Beach, a relaxation area with daybeds.

Family facilities will include play areas for children aged two to 10 and a dedicated teen space. Adults will have access to Vibe Beach Club, an outdoor lounge with sun loungers, hot tubs and an oceanfront bar.
