Stepping aboard a Norwegian Cruise Line ship comes with various expectations. Some people long for every port of call. Others indulge in the delicious bites at both specialty and complementary dining locales. When a thirst needs to be quenched, the Norwegian Prima bars are ready to pour the most intriguing libations.

According to Norwegian Cruise Line leadership, the majority of passengers opt for purchasing a beverage program while on board. That additional option allows passengers to sip and savor the robust beverages that are part of the beverage package. From a beer by the pool to a cocktail after dinner, the beverage program is an invitation to live the best life.

From easy days spent on the ship to quenching a thirst after an excursion, the Norwegian Prima bars can fit almost any vibe. While some might prefer the sunshining on their face and others might want to sing along with favorite songs, morning, noon and night has options to make that next vacation memorable.

Which Norwegian Prima bars fit your vacation vibe?

While the various restaurants have a variety of beverages to pair with the spectacular dishes, there is a robust offering of Norwegian Prima bars located throughout the ship. Whether guests are looking for a particular flavor or atmosphere, there is an option for each and every moment.
Here are the Norwegian Prima bars listed in alphabetical order
