Norwegian Cruise Line proudly welcomes the Norwegian Aqua, the 20th ship in its award-winning fleet and the first of the new generation Prima Plus Class, at the esteemed Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy.
As the Norwegian Aqua prepares to enter service, NCL has completed another historic milestone with the launch of the Norwegian Luna. This launch signifies the completion of the ship's exterior work and marks its first contact with the water. The Norwegian Luna will then move to the floating dock formerly occupied by the Norwegian Aqua for interior construction and outfitting, in preparation for its launch in spring 2026.
“Norwegian Aqua is more than a ship; it’s a commitment to our guests that we will continue to push the boundaries and offer MORE at sea,” said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. “From thrilling attractions like the Aqua Slidecoaster to the debut of Sukhothai, our first Thai specialty restaurant, Norwegian Aqua is designed to create unforgettable moments for the whole family during its cruises to the Caribbean, Bermuda, and our private island in the Bahamas, Great Stirrup Cay, where we remain focused and excited to invest in the guest experience.”
The Norwegian Aqua is 10 percent larger in size and capacity, offering more space, thoughtfully curated art and design, guest-first service, and unparalleled experiences. The Norwegian Aqua introduces new features that exemplify NCL's commitment to delivering MORE – more excitement, more dining, and more immersive activities – while ensuring unmatched service through the highest staffing levels of any contemporary new cruise ship.
Norwegian Aqua seamlessly blends the signature features of the Prima class – spacious staterooms, experiences that exceed expectations, and world-class entertainment – with exciting new enhancements. Measuring 322 meters in length and 156,300 gross tons, the ship accommodates 3,571 guests at double occupancy and boasts expansive outdoor spaces, ensuring a deeper connection with the ocean.
