Norwegian Aqua Floats Out

Norwegian Cruise Line and its partners at Fincantieri celebrated the float out of the Norwegian Aqua on 23/04/24, from the drydock at the shipyard in Marghera (Venice), Italy.

This marks the completion of the external work on the ship ahead of its April 2025 debut.

At 156,300 gross tons and a length that spans 1,056 feet, the Norwegian Aqua will be 10 percent larger than the first two Prima Class ships. The ship will also offer luxurious accommodations in The Haven by Norwegian®, including the line’s first-ever Three-Bedroom Duplex Haven Suites.

Malcolm says: I remember before the first Prima class ship entered service, NCL’s CEO said it was the “Perfect size”. Now they have made it bigger! The design is similar to MSC’s ‘Seaside’ and the ‘Virgin Voyages’ ships. Some passenger reviews, of the first two of the class, are critical of the small sizes of the public spaces.
