Inside Norwegian Aqua: NCL's newest Cruise Ship

Editorial Summary

The Norwegian Aqua is scheduled to launch in April 2025 as the first vessel in the Prima Plus Class for Norwegian Cruise Line. Currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, the ship is ten percent larger than its predecessor, the Norwegian Prima. The vessel features expanded outdoor spaces, including a pool deck with fifty percent more loungers and an adult only Vibe Beach Club that is forty percent larger than previous iterations. Accommodations include the debut of three bedroom duplex Haven Suites and expanded categories for solo travelers. Dining options on board range from new specialty venues like Sukotai, a Thai restaurant, and Planterra, a plant based eatery, to returning favorites such as Cagney's Steakhouse and Hudson. The ship also offers interactive entertainment through the Glow Court digital sports complex and high thrill attractions like the Aqua Slide Coaster and a ten story free fall slide. The vessel's exterior will feature hull art by artist Allison Human, making her the first major female hull artist for the cruise line.
