What’s not to love about Norwegian Cruise Line’s all-new Norwegian Aqua which expands the evolution of NCL’s Prima Plus Class.
Setting sail in April 2025, bookings have opened for Norwegian Aqua’s first voyages to the Caribbean with seven-day itineraries departing from Port Canaveral, Florida.
The good news for solo travellers is that the ship will feature the company’s latest solo stateroom expanded categories: solo inside, solo ocean view and solo balcony, offering more space and a variety of accommodations to single cruisers at reduced fares that are less than the cost of paying double occupancy.
Families, too, will be well catered for. NCL’s family-favourite Splash Academy, for children ages three to 12, will return to Norwegian Aqua. Adolescents aged 13 to 17, can engage in age-appropriate activities at Entourage NCL’s signature teen club, which will enjoy its own dedicated space.
Overall, 10% bigger than its sister ships. Norwegian Aqua will offer more outdoor space and the highest staffing levels of any new contemporary cruise ship.
NCL has packed a lot of luxury into that extra space. The cruise line’s first three-bedroom duplex Haven Suites will offer luxurious accommodations in NCL’s premium keycard-access-only-complex, The Haven by Norwegian.
These four, two-story 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 ocean views.

The Haven aboard Norwegian Aqua will offer the largest Haven complex in the fleet with 123 suites, including access to dedicated sundeck; an infinity pool outdoor spa with a glass-walled sauna and cold room; two hot tubs; a private lounge; exclusive bar pouring rare spirits and vintages; and sea views available from every public space.
“Norwegian Aqua is a true testament of fusing together what represents the future of NCL as the first ship in the Prima Plus Class, and our commitment to pushing the boundaries in guest-first experiences that will make new waves at sea,” said David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line.

Onboard, Norwegian Aqua will premiere the world’s first hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide, the three-storey Aqua Slidecoaster, where dual slides and a magnetic lift propels guests through two different courses.
The new Glow Court will be a digital sports complex with an interactive LED floor by day and transform into a nightclub in the evening.
