Norwegian Aura deck plans

Norwegian Aura (2027-built) is the fifth of all six PRIMA-class and the first of the four PRIMA PLUS-class NCL-Norwegian Cruise Lines ships, with two sisterships in the PRIMA-class - Prima (2022) and Viva (2023), and four PRIMA PLUS-class sisterships - Auqa (2025), Luna (2026), and TBN6 (2028).

Norwegian Aura cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 1976 staterooms (36 categories) for 3840 passengers (max capacity is 4714) served by 1957 crew-staff. The boat has 20 decks (16 passenger-accessible, 9 with cabins), dining options (11 restaurants and food bars, many with indoor/outdoor seating), 17 lounges and bars, 5 swimming pools, 9 Jacuzzis (outdoor whirlpool hot tubs), 16 elevators (including 2x The Haven lifts).

Introduced on Norwegian Aura, OCEAN HEIGHTS is a 4-deck, open-air complex/activity zone. The 4-deck complex (decks 18-19-20-21) serves as a family-focused recreation area during the day and as a relaxed social environment in the evening.

The Waterfront (outdoor Promenade deck space found on other NCL vessels) was expanded with the Ocean Boulevard - a 360-degree Promenade (outdoor complex) completely wrapping around the entire Deck 8) offering unobstructed ocean views and housing multiple spaces. The Ocean Boulevard has two large infinity pools (positioned aft starboard and portside), Oceanwalk (glass-bottomed bridges), Indulge Food Hall (an open-air marketplace), and The Concourse (outdoor sculpture garden with "selfie" installations/metal sculptures by Alexander Krivosheiw and David Harber).
