Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) unveils exciting news about its upcoming sister ships Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna. Both ships, which are part of the new Prima Plus class and will enter service in 2025 and 2026 respectively, will offer a host of innovative experiences and modernized areas. Of particular note is the introduction of the Aqua and Luna Game Zone, which takes the existing Galaxy Pavilion and arcade experience to a new level.

New leisure activities on board

The “Aqua and Luna Game Zone” is a first on both ships and offers an expanded range of interactive gaming experiences. In addition to popular retro games such as “Ms. Pac-Man” and “Donkey Kong”, there are also virtual reality attractions such as Space Racing and Beat Hero, which will delight all age groups.

Other highlights include the newly designed The Bull's Eye Bar, which revolutionizes the classic game of darts. Guests can now take part in interactive darts games with a virtual scoring system for even more fun. An integrated full-service bar also invites guests to enjoy cocktails during the game.

The expanded Tee Time Mini Golf, which spans two decks, offers an unforgettable gaming experience for the whole family on twelve holes. Pickleball, which has been in high demand from guests, also returns in a separate area.

Wellness and fitness at the highest level

Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna also offer extensively modernized wellness and fitness areas. The Mandara Spa and Salon and the Pulse Fitness Center have been redesigned by the renowned Rockwell Group. Particularly noteworthy are the new clay saunas, which revitalize the skin through gentle exfoliation and detoxifying cleansing. Also new is the “Drip Therapy”, an infusion treatment that supplies the body with moisture and important nutrients.

In addition, thalassotherapy has been expanded in the spa area, with new thalassotherapy lounge loungers that relieve muscle tension and promote blood circulation. The Thermal Suite now offers twice as many heated loungers as before to allow even more guests to enjoy a relaxing break with a sea view.

Expanded fitness options

The Pulse Fitness Center on board both ships has a new, modern design. It offers state-of-the-art exercise equipment as well as a dedicated spin studio. Guests can look forward to a variety of fitness classes, including yoga, Pilates and cycling.

Cruise itineraries to the Caribbean and Bermuda

Norwegian Aqua will offer seven-day cruises through the Caribbean from April 2025, with stops in the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic. Voyages to Bermuda from New York will follow later in the year. Norwegian Luna will embark on its maiden voyage in April 2026 with itineraries to tropical destinations in the Western and Eastern Caribbean.

New value-added programs for cruise guests

From 2025, NCL guests can benefit from the expanded More At Sea™ program, which offers additional inclusive services such as extended restaurant visits, faster internet access and a credit for shore excursions. In addition, the third and fourth guest in the stateroom on selected voyages will pay only the taxes and port charges.

Norwegian Cruise Line is once again setting the standard in the cruise industry with its upcoming sister ships and new offerings, creating unforgettable experiences for travelers of all ages.
