Norwegian Cruise Line presents the new onboard experiences and available spaces on board the sister ships Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna, the first two Prima Plus Class ships to be launched in April 2025 and 2026, respectively.
These soon-to-be-launched cruise ships will feature the first Aqua and Luna Game Zone, an entirely new gaming experience and an evolution of NCL's popular Galaxy Pavilion and arcades. The sister ships will also boast even more expanded and redesigned spaces, such as the Bull's Eye Bar, now a complimentary experience with interactive darts and a new full-service bar; and Tee Time, a more comprehensive version of miniature golf where guests can play 12 interactive holes across two decks.
The Mandara Spa and Salon and Pulse Fitness Center will also be renovated to include sophisticated design updates and revitalizing new services, including a clay sauna, IV drip therapy, and thalassotherapy loungers aboard the Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna.
“We offer our guests more to do with a variety of fun, exciting, and uplifting experiences for every type of traveler,” said David J. Herrera, President of Norwegian Cruise Line. “We look forward to our guests enjoying more of what they love onboard and creating unforgettable memories aboard Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna.”
Immersive and interactive experiences for guests of all ages
Both ships will feature the Aqua & Luna Play Zone, a reimagined version of NCL's beloved Galaxy Pavilion and its arcade offerings. The venue will offer a wide range of games and activities to appeal to all types of guests, including virtual reality experiences like Space Racing and Beat Hero, as well as a mix of retro arcade games such as Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Down the Clown.
The sister ships will also offer the Bull's Eye Bar, an innovative take on traditional darts games, which now features a full-service bar so guests can enjoy handcrafted cocktails while playing.
Tee Time, Prima Class's interactive mini-golf area themed around the "Wonders of the World", will return to the Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna, two and a half times larger than on the Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, and the Pickleball court will return to its own separate space from the Stadium.
A wellness retreat at sea
Masterfully designed by the world-class architects of the Rockwell Group, both the Mandara Spa and Salon and the Pulse Fitness Center aboard the Norwegian Aqua and the Norwegian Luna will be redesigned to promote serenity and rejuvenation.
Guests can now unwind in the new clay sauna, an invigorating spa service that revitalizes the skin through a detoxifying cleanse and gentle exfoliation, leaving the body refreshed and radiant. The thalassotherapy pool at the Mandara Spa and Salon on board both ships will also feature brand-new thalassotherapy loungers. New to Prima Class, guests will have access to intravenous drip therapy.
The Thermal Suite on board will now have twice as many heated loungers and will also include the charcoal sauna, ice room, salt room and flotation salt pool.
The Pulse Fitness Center will feature a new design and guests will be able to participate in a wide variety of exercise classes, including yoga, pilates, cycling, stretching and much more.
The Caribbean aboard the company's latest cruise ships
Beginning in April 2025, the Norwegian Aqua will sail seven-day Caribbean itineraries departing from Port Canaveral, Florida, with stops at the tropical island destinations of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island in the Bahamas, which will feature a new multi-ship pier by the end of 2025. Following the Caribbean season, the ship will offer five- and seven-day voyages to Bermuda from New York from August 2025 through October 2025, and then five- and seven-day Eastern Caribbean itineraries from Miami, the “Cruise Capital of the World,” from October 2025 through April 2026.
On April 4, 2026, the Norwegian Luna will begin its inaugural Caribbean season from Miami with two western itineraries to Roatán, Honduras; Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico; and Harvest Caye, Belize, the brand's resort-style destination. Following this, the ship will sail seven-day cruises to the beautiful Eastern Caribbean destinations of Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic), Tortola (British Virgin Islands), St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands), and Great Stirrup Cay.
For guests planning their next NCL cruise vacation for departures on or after January 1, 2025, the Company’s new More At Sea™ program offers travelers greater value with an unlimited open bar featuring more premium beverage brands, more specialty dining credits, and more Wi-Fi minutes. The package also includes shore excursion credits, with the third and fourth guests sailing free on select cruises.
