Norwegian Aqua Arrives in New York

Sailing past the Statue of Liberty, Norwegian Aqua makes her maiden call at New York City last week, kicking off a season of Bermuda cruises for Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship. Now through October 2025, she’ll offer round-tip, five- and seven-day cruises to the Royal Naval Dockyard.

As the first Prima Plus-class ship, Norwegian Aqua comes with new features, including:

• The Aqua Slidecoaster, the world’s first hybrid waterslide and roller coaster,
• The Glow Court, an LED-floor sports and activity zone,
• An expanded pool deck and adults-only Vibe Beach Club,
• The Mandara Spa and Thermal Suite with saunas, loungers with ocean views,
• 17 dining venues and 18 bars and lounges.

At 1,056 feet long and designed to carry 3,571 passengers at double occupancy, Norwegian Aqua boasts plenty of variety at sea.

Following her Bermuda season from New York, she will reposition to Miami in October 2025 for Caribbean and Bahamas cruises before returning to New York in spring 2026.
