Norwegian Aqua

Norwegian Aqua is a cruise ship operated by Norwegian Cruise Line of the Prima Plus class, the debut ship of its subclass.

History

In 2017, Norwegian Cruise Line ordered four ships of a novel class, scheduled for delivery from 2022 to 2025. Norwegian Aquas maiden voyage was from the Fincantieri shipyard to Southampton. The ship's first sail across the Atlantic was originally intended to be from Southampton to Boston, but was diverted to New [York City] due to inclement weather.
Eric Stonestreet christened Norwegian Aqua on April 13, 2025, at Miami.

Service history

For the 2026 season, Norwegian Aqua is scheduled for 28 visits of Bermuda.

Design

Norwegian Aqua is 10% larger than other ships of the Prima class, being the first of the Prima Plus subclass. In addition to Prima-class features, Norwegian Aqua also has a slidecoaster, digital sport complex, arcade, and an adults-only club. There are seventeen restaurants and eighteen bars on Norwegian Aqua. The external art of the ship was designed by Allison Hueman.
