Norwegian Aqua
The first ship of the Prima Plus class: the Aqua Slidecoaster, the world's first hybrid rollercoaster-waterslide, an expanded version of Ocean Boulevard and NCL's newest design.
About the ship
Norwegian Aqua entered service in 2025 as the first ship of the 'Prima Plus' version of the Prima class, which is 10 percent larger. At 156,300 gross tons and carrying 3,565 guests, she is bigger than Prima, yet remains a spacious ship thanks to the emphasis placed on outdoor deck areas.
Highlights
- Aqua Slidecoaster: a first at sea, combining a magnetic rollercoaster with a waterslide
- Ocean Boulevard: an open-air promenade encircling the ship, with infinity pools and alfresco restaurants
- Glow Court: a sports court by day, a digital show venue by night
- Indulge Food Hall: a food market with 11 counters where orders are placed by tablet
- Metropolitan Bar and Syd Norman's Pour House live rock club
Staterooms and The Haven
- Inside, oceanview and balcony staterooms; family and connecting stateroom options
- The Haven: a key-access enclave on the ship's upper decks, with a dedicated butler and concierge, its own restaurant, lounge, pool and sun deck
Itineraries
In her first seasons she sails Caribbean and Bermuda itineraries departing from Miami and Port Canaveral.
