Norwegian Aqua deck plans

Norwegian Aqua (2025-built) is the third of six PRIMA-class vessels and the first of four PRIMA PLUS-class NCL – Norwegian Cruise Line ships. She follows her PRIMA-class sisterships Prima (2022) and Viva (2023), and precedes three PRIMA PLUS-class sisters – Luna (2026), Aura (2027) and TBN6 (2028).

The Norwegian Aqua deck plan shows a total of 1760 staterooms (36 categories) for 3571 passengers (maximum capacity 4224), served by 1388 crew (912 crew cabins). The ship has 20 decks (16 passenger-accessible, 9 with cabins), 11 dining venues and food bars (many with indoor/outdoor seating), 17 lounges and bars, 5 swimming pools, 9 Jacuzzis (outdoor whirlpools), and 16 elevators (including two The Haven lifts).

NCL’s PRIMA PLUS-class design features larger and more diverse public spaces (indoor and outdoor), a reduced passenger capacity compared to the BREAKAWAY and BREAKAWAY PLUS classes, new dining and entertainment concepts, a total of 35 dining venues and bars/lounges (including seven fleet-first food venues), and enhanced service levels.

The Waterfront concept (the outdoor promenade on earlier NCL ships) was redesigned and expanded into the Ocean Boulevard — a 360-degree outdoor promenade (44,000 ft2 / 4090 m2) fully encircling Deck 8. It offers unobstructed ocean views and integrates multiple venues and experiences. Ocean Boulevard features two large infinity pools (aft, port and starboard), the Oceanwalk (glass-bottom bridges), the Indulge Food Hall (NCL’s first open-air marketplace), and The Concourse (an outdoor sculpture garden with selfie installations and metal artworks by Alexander Krivosheiw and David Harber).

NCL’s first three-level Atrium (spanning decks 6-7-8) is glass-walled and designed with unobstructed sea views, futuristic architecture, a 3-ton crystal chandelier, full-height artwork, retail shops and bars on each level (including Starbucks Coffee Shop, Whiskey Bar, Penrose Bar, and the Casino Lounge & Bar).

The three-deck-high Aqua Park features 2 swimming pools, 5 multilevel waterslides (Ocean Loop), 2 racing slides (The Rush), a freefall dry slide (The Drop), the “Tidal Wave” waterslide (the fleet’s first innertube-surfing slide), 4 Jacuzzis (including 2 infinity whirlpools), a poolside bar, and a large sundeck/sunbathing area.
