History
Norwegian Cruise Line ordered four ships under Project Leonardo in February 2017, which included Norwegian Viva.[4] The ship was christened at Miami in November 2023.[5]
On December 15, 2023, the Autoridad de los Puertos de Puerto Rico welcomed Norwegian Viva to her home port in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Itineraries departing from San Juan will make stops throughout the Caribbean on various 7-day cruises between December 2023 and March 2024. Departures will begin from the Pan American Pier in Old San Juan. Prior to arriving in Puerto Rico, the ship was baptized by the godfather of the ship, Luis Fonsi.[6]
