Immersive VR Driving Destination Demand

To elevate awareness of Great Stirrup Cay among cruise media and influencers, Norwegian Cruise Line partnered with VIVA Creative to deploy a high-impact virtual reality platform that delivered the island experience directly to key stakeholders—without the cost or logistics of physical travel.
