Norwegian’s Last Prima-Class Ship Gets a Mini-Golf Course Called the Midway

Norwegian Cruise Line has opened bookings for Norwegian Bella, the final ship of its Prima Class. She will begin seven-day round-trip Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona in May 2028, visiting Rome, Florence, Salerno, Marseille and Palma de Mallorca in her inaugural season.

The ship’s open-air centerpiece is Ocean Heights, a multilevel complex across decks 18 to 21. It includes Eclipse Racers side-by-side slides, the Bella Free Fall waterslide, a pendulum raft slide called The Wave, a ropes course, Moon Climber and The Bella Midway, a nine-hole carnival-themed mini golf course.

Ocean Boulevard wraps deck 8 with extra seating, hot tubs and an outdoor bar, and the pool decks are more than 15 percent larger than those on Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna. Families get Little Explorers’ Cay, Adventure Alley and a Kids’ Aqua Park, while Vibe Beach Club is adults-only.

The Haven by Norwegian has 159 suites designed by Piero Lissoni. Norwegian says Bella’s experience will resemble Norwegian Aura, due for delivery in May 2027. Both ships are being built by Fincantieri.
