Norwegian Viva is the newest vessel of Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), and the second ship in its award-winning Prima Class.

St Lucia, an idyllic Caribbean island, stretches across a mere 238 square miles, yet it teems with a potpourri of attractions to satisfy every wanderlust. The echoes of history resonate in the time-worn ruins of Pigeon Island National Park, while the natural spectacle of the Sulphur Springs bathes the landscape in a steamy embrace. The magnificent Pitons, extending skyward, form an iconic backdrop to the island's volcanic narrative. 

St Lucia is a volcanic island and one of the more mountainous in the Caribbean. At only 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, the island is small enough to get from one end to the other in less than two hours. 

A day-long road trip around the beautiful island of St Lucia gives you an incredible insight into its natural beauty, numerous opportunities to stop for delicious food and the chance to experience the island as locals do.
