Norwegian Aqua

Norwegian Aqua is a Norwegian Cruise Line ship and the first vessel in the expanded Prima Plus series, part of NCL’s Prima-generation design. Built in 2025 by Fincantieri, she is listed at 156,300 GT, 322 m / 1,056 ft in length, with 20 decks and capacity for about 3,571 passengers, or up to roughly 4,224 at maximum occupancy. NCL lists double-occupancy guest capacity at 3,565.

Typical routes focus on Bahamas, Caribbean and Bermuda sailings. Current and recent deployment includes Port Canaveral, Miami and New York as major turnaround ports, with Bermuda round trips from New York and Bahamas/Eastern Caribbean itineraries from Florida.

The onboard casino is the Aqua Casino, located on Deck 6. NCL’s deck plan places the casino on Deck 6, and ship-photo references identify it as Aqua Casino. The layout includes regular casino, VIP casino and smoking casino areas near Penrose Bar and the theater/club zone, giving it a central, busy evening atmosphere rather than a secluded gaming room.
