Norwegian Aqua

Norwegian Cruise Line

Ship Overview

Meet Norwegian Aqua, the latest evolution of our innovative Prima Class, launching in 2025 with 156,300 gross tons and a guest capacity of 3,571. This ship is designed to maximize outdoor living with unprecedented wide-open deck space, inviting guests to enjoy sunrise rituals and sunset conversations while taking in unobstructed ocean views. It showcases first-of-its-kind experiences like the all-new Aqua Slidecoaster, a thrilling ride that loops along the top decks for high-speed twists and unforgettable sea breezes. Inside, a greater variety of spacious suites provides home-like comfort with generous living areas and modern amenities. Onboard experiences push curiosity and delight, from Infinity Beach to the glass-walk experience Oceanwalk, and immersive activities that blur the line between vessel and horizon. The service philosophy puts guests first with high staff levels that ensure you never wait for that second round or any other delight. The ship also supports international travelers with flexible power options, featuring US 110V and EU 220V outlets (adapters are not provided), so guests can stay charged while exploring. This is Norwegian Aqua — a true glide of design and experience that invites you to Make New Waves from the moment you embark.

The spa offers acupuncture, pain management and even an herbal consultation. And if you simply want to look great for an exciting dinner on board, head to our salon for everything from hair to nails to make-up.

Thermal Suite

Marvel at our two-story waterfall and take a holistic approach to wellness in our Thermal Suite. This collection of experiences includes guest favourites such as a steam room, salt room, ice room and charcoal sauna, as well as the first clay sauna at sea.

Vitality Pool & Flotation Salt Pool - The focal point of the new Mandara Spa is the indoor Flotation Salt pool, Vitality pool and multi-story waterfall area. Our Flotation Salt pool is state-of-the-art - floating in the warm, salt water creates a feeling of weightlessness and lowers your stress levels whilst antioxidants give your skin a renewed glow. Enjoy the healthful benefits of a dip in the Thalassotherapy pool as you sit back and relax in our new Thalassotherapy loungers.

Relaxation Area - Our expansive relaxation area is higher up than ever before, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and horizon and separated from the rest of the spa - providing an entire room simply dedicated to relaxing. Recline in our guest-favourite hot-stone loungers; Norwegian Aqua now offers twice as many of these beds as Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva.

Clay Sauna - Discover the health and beauty effects of clay in the first clay sauna at sea. Revitalise your glow with benefits that include deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation and improvement of skin tone and texture.

Ice Room - Cool off in the refreshing Ice Room. The cold air helps to increase blood circulation, awaken the senses, invigorate the respiratory tract, relieve stress and strengthen the immune system. Cold exposure has even been shown to make hair and nails shinier!

Charcoal Sauna - The detoxifying properties of charcoal have been utilised for thousands of years - and are now available in this rejuvenating sauna. Recline into relaxation as the sauna helps boost your circulatory system and metabolism whilst removing heavy metals and toxins from your body. The heat energy that charcoal generates can also relax stiffness and tension, including relief from headaches and back pain.

Salt Room - Experience the subtle and soothing effects of this salt chamber. Salt is a natural, non-invasive treatment than alleviates health problems and reduces stress. Our salt therapy chambers are designed to mimic the salt mines and caves of ancient Europe, which have been used for hundreds of years for their healing properties.

Experiential Shower - Unwind with the uniquely soothing and relaxing sensation of the Experiential Shower, leaving your skin hydrated, refreshed and invigorated. A combination of colours, temperatures and effects create a multi-sensory experience.

Pulse Fitness Centre

You won't want to leave the gym, seriously. At the Pulse Fitness Centre, you can get your heart racing with the sunrise and do yoga beside the sunset, thanks to our 270-degree views of the ocean. Gaze at the horizon as you feel your blood flow - whether you're lifting weights, taking a class or simply stretching; working out has never looked this good.
