Norwegian Cruise Line has officially opened bookings for Norwegian Bella, the sixth and crowning vessel in its groundbreaking Prima Class. Scheduled to make its grand debut in May 2028, the cutting-edge ship will sail bucket-list seven-day round-trip Mediterranean voyages from Barcelona, Spain. Guests can look forward to exploring storied cultural gems across Southern Europe, including Rome, Florence, and Salerno in Italy, Marseille in France, and the sun-soaked island shores of Palma de Mallorca in Spain.

Measuring approximately 1,129 feet in length and 170,000 gross tons, Norwegian Bella will accommodate 3,921 guests at double occupancy, joining sister ship Norwegian Aura as the largest vessels in the company’s global fleet. Currently being built by renowned Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, the vessel showcases exterior hull artwork created by acclaimed Australian contemporary artist George Rose, blending vibrant botanical motifs with fluid gradients.

Onboard, the ship introduces elevated spaces that seamlessly transition from day to evening. Across decks 18 through 21, the Ocean Heights open-air complex features high-thrill attractions, including the Eclipse Racers water slide, the Bella Free Fall, the four-person Wave raft slide, and the signature 10-deck dry slide, The Drop. Family spaces are further enriched by the Moon Climber course, Bella Midway carnival games, and dedicated youth zones like Little Explorers’ Cay and Surf’s Bay.

Deck eight features an expanded Ocean Boulevard complete with Infinity Beach daybeds, dipping pools, and outdoor bars. Meanwhile, the main pool deck offers fifteen percent more lounging space than earlier sister vessels. Luxury seekers can escape to The Haven by Norwegian, an aft-located private retreat designed by Piero Lissoni that features an exclusive infinity pool, outdoor sauna, cold room, and round-the-clock butler service.
