Nor Norwegian Cruise Line unveiled the evolution of the Prima Class with the all-new Norwegian Aqua, the first of the expanded Prima Plus Class setting sail in April 2025. Starting on November 2, 2023, travelers can book Norwegian Aqua's first voyages to the Caribbean with seven-day itineraries arriving from one of the world's most sought-after cruise ports, Port Canaveral, Fla. St.

Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Great Stirrup Cay, NCL's private island in the Bahamas. The legacy continues with renowned Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri constructing this next-generation Prima Plus Class. Building upon the award-winning experiences of Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, Norwegian Aqua will set new standards and deliver brand-new guest experiences to be discovered with an overall 10% size and capacity increase from its sister ships.

Spanning 1,056 feet long, 156,300 gross tons and accommodating 3,571 guests at double occupancy, Norwegian Aqua will offer more outdoor space and the highest staffing levels of any new contemporary cruise ship. Norwegian Aqua will showcase a lively and colorful hull art design by NCL's first-ever major female hull artist, Allison Hueman. World-renowned for her street art and global brand collaborations, including Nike, L'Oreal and Google, Hueman's distinctive art style is a blend of ethereal realism.

Norwegian Aqua's design, entitled "Where the Sky Meets the Sea," is curated by Goldman Global Arts and evokes modern mythology through colorful mashups of abstract and figurative representations of sea and sky, ruled by ancient goddesses. Complete with exhilarating dual slides and a magnetic lift that propels adventurous guests through two different courses, this NCL exclusive experience will feature three stories of exciting twists and turns around the ship's funnel. The new Glow Court, a digital sports complex with an interactive LED floor, will offer a variety of interactive guest activities by day and then transform into a nightclub in the evening.

Guests will also be able to continue to enjoy some of their favorite Prima Class experiences aboard Norwegian Aqua, including The Drop, NCL's 10-story free-fall slide, and the Stadium, a now expanded game space offering complimentary activities. Boasting NCL's first-ever Three-Bedroom Duplex Haven Suites, Norwegian Aqua will offer all-new luxurious amenities in the Brand's premium keycard-access-only-complex, The Haven by Norwegian®?. These four two-story spacious suites feature separate living and dining areas; three bathrooms; a sprawling balcony; and three bedrooms, of which two include a king size bed, with the master offering floor-to-ceiling windows for beautiful ocean views.
