It’s official, Norwegian Cruise Line has today revealed that the godmother of their groundbreaking new ship, Norwegian Prima, will be world-famous pop icon and “American Idol” judge Katy Perry.
Not only will Katy Perry fulfil the longstanding maritime tradition of blessing and officially naming Norwegian Prima, she will also perform during the christening ceremony on the 27th of August 2022, before Norwegian Prima sets sail on its inaugural voyages from Reykjavík, Iceland, where the vessel will have the honour of being the first major cruise ship christened in the Icelandic capital.
Katy Perry will join an elite club of Norwegian Cruise Line godparents. Grammy award winner Kelly Clarkson named NCL’s latest ship, Norwegian Encore, whilst Sex and the City star, Kim Cattrall, is godmother to Norwegian Dawn. The iconic New York group, The Rockettes, are godmothers of Norwegian Breakaway, whilst sister ship Norwegian Getaway can count on the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders as official godmothers. The cruise line even broke the gender stereotype when “Mr Worldwide” himself, Pitbull, became the godfather of Norwegian Escape in 2015. You can find out if any of the above made our list of top 10 cruise ship godmothers in our previous blog, just click here.
We are so excited to welcome Katy Perry, a one-of-a-kind artist and worldwide sensation, as godmother of Norwegian Prima. We are so incredibly proud that she will be part of the Norwegian Cruise Line family and look forward to launching our beautiful, innovative ship with her in August.

My most favorite way to vacation with my family is on the water. Every morning that you wake up, you get to experience an incredible new view. I love that I get to christen her with my good vibrations, and I’m so excited for this new, beautiful, high-end, high-tech ship to take the seas, and provide once-in-a-lifetime vacations for so many families.
