A first for Malta! Norwegian Viva cruiseship docks in Valletta’s Grand Harbour for the very first time
What a beauty!

Emma Galea

The newly operating Norwegian Viva has just made its very first call and docked at the Valletta Cruise Port this last Friday.

It was welcomed by a local village band as it made its way into the Grand Harbour where a traditional plaque exchange was held later on in the day.

The ship is known for having a three-level racetrack, the fastest slides on any cruise ship and a sustainable cocktail bar.

The Norwegian Viva is currently on a nine-day cruise that left from CittaVecchia harbour and will stop at Trieste Italy.

This is the second of six Leanardo-class ships that are a part of the Norwegian Cruise Line’s fleet.
