Creator's Key Takeaways

They've made several changes, and they kept many things the same to keep the character of what many are calling this beautiful boutique style ship.

A brand new venue that I am in love with is the Swirl Wine Bar.

What we really loved about Starbucks on this ship is on the other side of the baristas is a work area.

One of my complaints about the Prima was that this entire area was art sculptures... Well, they've changed all that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look at the deck plan on the website before you pick your room to avoid noise issues.
Be strategic when picking your balcony to avoid areas with high foot traffic.
Book the Vibe Beach Club months in advance as it sells out extremely fast.

YouTube Video Description

This video is a complete ship tour of the Norwegian Aqua. Leave a comment if you've been on the Aqua or planning to go. Join us aboard the Norwegian Aqua, a modern boutique-style cruise ship with thoughtful upgrades from its sister ship, Prima. The tour starts on Deck 6 with highlights like the Penrose Bar, casino, and expanded Huki teppanyaki restaurant. Decks 7 and 8 feature a mix of specialty dining, vibrant bars, and casual favorites like The Local and Indulge Food Hall. The ship offers unique spots like the Swirl Wine Bar, a Starbucks with workspace seating, and outdoor infinity pools. Balcony placement matters—some are quieter than others depending on what’s below. Higher decks house the spa, gym, and a spacious game zone with complimentary arcade games. The Observation Lounge offers stunning views, tea service, and snacks. Outdoor spaces have been expanded with more seating, replacing unused art installations. Top decks are packed with activities: a waterslide coaster, mini golf, pickleball, and the adult-only Vibe Beach Club. With a mix of relaxation, dining, and entertainment, Norwegian Aqua balances comfort and fun for all kinds of cruisers.
