Norwegian Aqua - the third ship of the new revolutionary Prima Class sets sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton on 28th March 2025. She will premiere the world's first hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide, the Aqua Slidecoaster. 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 favourite 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. This ship features the signature favourites found on the rest of the fleet such as the 24-hour Local bar & grill, single studio complex, a comprehensive thermal spa and The Haven complex. Plus, some great innovations such as Infinity Beach, Oceanwalk, La Terraza and The Concourse. 

Each stateroom has private en-suite facilities, tea and coffee making facilities, air conditioning, flat screen cable TVs, vanity area, hair dryer, telephone, refrigerator with minibar and free room service. The purpose-built single interior studios have revolutionised the cost for single cruises and feature double beds, one way glass windows and exclusive key-card access to the Studio Complex and Studio Lounge with bar.

The Haven aboard Norwegian Aqua will offer the largest Haven complex in the fleet with 123 well-appointed suites, including access to an expansive, dedicated sundeck; a serene infinity pool overlooking the ship's stern; an outdoor spa complete with a glass-walled sauna and cold room; two hot tubs; a private lounge; exclusive bar pouring rare spirits and vintages; and sweeping sea views available from every public space. Haven guests will continue to enjoy 24-hour butler service and a dedicated concierge team. Norwegian Aqua boasts NCL’s first-ever Three-Bedroom Duplex Haven Suites. 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 breathtaking ocean views.

There are 28 dining venues to choose from including two main restaurants- Hudson's is at the back of the of the ship with 270-degree panoramic views of the ocean. Go for al-fresco dining on Oceanwalk at Los Lobos or Onda by Scarpetta. The brand new Indulge Food Hall is adjacent to the expansive wrap around deck on deck 8; and includes sea food, Indian, tapas, tacos, a salad bar, Asian fusion, Smokehouse Q and more.

With additional outdoor spaces, guests can spend their days exploring and enjoying NCL's most expansive Ocean Boulevard to-date, the outdoor walkway on deck 8 that wraps around the entire ship complete with Oceanwalk, a glass bridge that offers great photo opportunities; Infinity Beach featuring expanded vistas and intimate infinity pools overlooking each side of the ship; and La Terrazza, the open-air lounge with sweeping sea views. . It also features swinging egg loungers, cabanas, hammocks and the Indulge outdoor lounge - all with food service from the food hall. For the first time in NCL's fleet, day beds will be available on the main pool area on deck 17 for guests to lounge and relax, together with a movie screen and bar. There is an additional sunbathing area on deck 18 with cooling water jets and fountains and the exciting Wave wet slide. For an elevated and adults-only experience, the expanded Vibe Beach Club offers a select space for an extra charge with a wonderful bar, hammocks, cabanas and a jacuzzi too.

Choose to plunge down no less than three dry slides from deck 18 to deck 8 (handy if you want to avoid the elevators). Sample a new take on crazy golf, table football and table shuffleboard. While the beer pong tables, and the darts lounge booths are simple additions that will keep adults entertained for hours on end.

Perhaps make a surreal visit to the Galaxy Virtual Reality Pavilion too. Nightlife centres around numerous bars, Syd Norman's Pour House for live music, Improv at Sea Comedy Club and the theatre. Oh....and a great new innovation on NCL is that the theatre transforms into the ultimate nightclub on selected nights - where they roll back the seats to create a huge dance floor.

All in all - this ship looks great, and will make a great holiday experience where-ever it sails.
