Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) and Fincantieri celebrated the float out of Norwegian Aqua™, the first ship in the expanded Prima Plus Class. This marks a major milestone in the vessel’s construction.

Here are the details:

• The float out took place at Fincantieri’s Marghera, Italy shipyard.
• Norwegian Aqua is 10% larger than the first two Prima Class vessels and will debut in April 2025.
• The ship will feature innovative offerings including the world’s first Aqua Slidecoaster, a digital sports complex with an interactive LED floor, and NCL’s most expansive outdoor promenade.
• Luxurious accommodations will include NCL’s first-ever Three-Bedroom Duplex Haven Suites.

“The Prima Class is a true evolution of the brand,” said Mark Kansley, senior vice president of hotel operations of Norwegian Cruise Line.  “We hear from our guests following every cruise, and they appreciate the intimate nature and greater variety of elevated spaces throughout the ship for them to relax in or explore while on vacation.  We are excited to soon deliver on this next chapter of our evolution – the Prima Plus Class – and bring our guests along on our journey.”
