THE MEDITERRANEAN

GOLF CRUISE

23 July - 2 August 2024 SOLD OUT!

CRUISE THE MEDITERRANEAN ON THE BRAND NEW NCL VIVA

Norwegian Viva's upscale and spacious design is elevated by an expansive array of artwork across the ship, including The Concourse, a multi-million-dollar outdoor sculpture garden, and a dynamic, interactive 52-foot-wide art piece by contemporary British digital artist Dominic Harris. Exclusively created for Norwegian Viva, Harris' "Every Wing Has a Silver Lining" digital art piece is on display at Metropolitan Bar and dynamically responds throughout the day to passing movement, creating engagement with the viewer.  Norwegian Viva also features a world-class entertainment lineup, headlined by the side-splitting Tony Awardยฎ-nominated comedy "Beetlejuice The Musical" and the iconic game show "Press Your Luck LIVE," an immersive experience where the audience participates to win incredible grand prizes.

Norwegian Viva will follow the pattern set out by Norwegian Prima, where The Haven โ€” the lineโ€™s more upscale โ€œship within a shipโ€ โ€“ is laid out at the back of the ship. This makes Norwegian Viva look more like a Miami condo building than a typical cruise ship.

Thrill-seekers will be happy to know that the popular top deck go-cart track will reappear on Norwegian Viva; the Viva Speedway will span three levels. Norwegian Viva will also have two free-fall drop dry slides, The Rush and The Drop. Other notable features on the deck plan include Ocean Boulevard, a 44,000-square-foot outdoor walkway that wraps around the entire ship with pools and restaurant; The Concourse outdoor sculpture garden; Indulge Food Hall with 11 different eateries; the Oceanwalk glass bridges and Infinity Beach.

The cabins on the line are incredibly spacious and boast interior designs and finishes that rival those found in the worldโ€™s finest hotels.

With an all-inclusive package onboard and additional benefits thoughtfully arranged by Go Golfing, guests now have the opportunity to experience the Mediterranean as it was truly meant to be. This unique journey brings together like-minded individuals who can enjoy playing golf while also exploring 11 breathtaking shores. From immersing themselves in different cultures to savouring delectable cuisine and uncovering rich historical treasures, the itinerary promises an enriching and unforgettable experience in every port of call.

  • Day 6 - A MUST-PLAY WHEN IN SPAIN: Son Gual Golf Club

  • Day 8 - Day at leisure in Motril, Spain

    Years of history have made this courseโ€”the oldest in Andalusiaโ€”both challenging for experienced players and achievable for any golf enthusiast. Sand dunes, palms, mimosas, eucalyptus and pines skirt the course. Two of the holes run along the edge of the sea.

    Recommended Tour: Casa De Los Bates & Almuรฑecar - Enjoy the natural beauty and serenity of southern Spain by lingering in the gardens of a 19th-century mansion and then touring an idyllic coastal village.

    Real Club Sevilla Golf has hosted major international championships such as the 2004 World Cup, the 2009 Andalusia Open and the Spanish Open in 2008, 2010 and 2012. Seville is the capital of Andalucia and it has a long and rich history reaching back more than a thousand years. Sevilla is a testing layout, which belies its initial flat and open aspect. If you can get close to the pins on these smallish greens then you might card a decent score. In fact, this easy walking and understated course is all about a sharp short game but naturally youโ€™ll need to find the fairways in order to give yourself a chance with your approach shots. If you fancy a strategic test of the golfing kind, head over to Josรฉ Maria Olazรกbalโ€™s Real Sevilla.

    Non-golfers get the opportunity to experience the Old Town of Cadiz and a Flamenco Show. Stroll through the atmospheric streets of the Old Quarter on the way to a nightclub, where you will watch a mesmerising flamenco performance that tells a passionate story.
