Fredrik Posted October 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2022 So NCL hasn’t release the names of the third to sixth ship in the Leonard class. What do you think the names will be? This is my very uninformed guess, but with NCL highlighting the I in both Prima and Viva, some of these might not be far off…. 🤪 Prima, Viva, Aria, Libra, Diva, Mira 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Belly Posted October 8, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 8, 2022 A little off topic. I was told by an NCL rep that it's class in not "Leonardo", just "Prima" class ships....it was referred to as "Project Leonardo" during development. Makes no sense to me, I'll still call it "Leonardo" class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple search of the UP Patent & Trademark office's database will reveal the names. All you'll have to do is guess the order in which they'll be assigned. 33 minutes ago, Beer Belly said: A little off topic.

Norwegian Epic was supposed to be the lead ship of a three ship class until the final two were cancelled. They were referred to as Project F3 during development. Do you refer to the Epic as the F3 class? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaShark Posted October 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 8, 2022 FWIW, NCL applied for eight different WordMarks for this class: NORWEGIAN PRIMA NORWEGIAN ULTIMA NORWEGIAN OMBRA NORWEGIAN VIVA NORWEGIAN BELLA NORWEGIAN AQUA NORWEGIAN LUNA NORWEGIAN VELA Smart marketing as they applied for two more than they need. This way people will still have to guess, and they can simply abandon the WordMarks on the two they don't need when all is announced. The only "sure thing" (IMHO) on the list is that Norwegian Ultima will be used for the last ship in the class. (Much like the last Breakaway ship is the Norwegian Encore). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Vela" means "see her." It's also a Southern constellation that means "Sails of a ship." (Latin) In either case, very apt for a cruise ship, I think! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I was happy to see a thread that hadn't devolved into political blah, blah, blah. Anyway...Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael came to mind for me. :) And I know they're not female names. Just had a giggle. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaShark Posted October 9, 2022 #20 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Since we have the potential name list, it seems like the thing to do would be to identify which two names on the list will NOT be used. While I can't limit myself to only two names, I think the two that will not be used will come from: NORWEGIAN OMBRANORWEGIAN AQUANORWEGIAN LUNA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or an undergarment for very large ladies. Aqua could spook the superstitious if they think it implies the ship will sink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traveling Man Posted October 10, 2022 #24 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I think it's likely the names will either be derivatives of Italian words or at least sound vaguely Italian. Also, it seems likely that that each will be a single word of about four or five (maybe six) letters in length. Since the graphics which NCL has been using for both the Prima and Viva use a stylized letter "i" it probably means that the rest of the ships will have an "i" near the middle of the name and it also will be stylized. (The Prima is shown as Pr1ma while the Viva is shown as V!va). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not read post #6 with the list of 8 possibilities that have been earmarked for trademarks by NCL? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
