Norwegian Cruise Line the innovator in global cruise travel, today announced the Company’s newest, cutting-edge vessel, Norwegian Aqua™, has completed her first sailing to the island paradise of Bermuda from her new seasonal homeport of New York City.

Through October 2025, Norwegian Aqua will offer round-trip five and seven-day voyages to Bermuda’s West End at the Royal Naval Dockyard with the convenience of sailing from Manhattan. Guests aboard these fun-in-the-sun itineraries will have the freedom and flexibility to design the cruise vacation of their dreams with more variety of onboard and shoreside experiences.

“We’re thrilled to have had Norwegian Aqua kick off her voyages from New York City this past week,” said Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “New York is an incredibly important market for us, so we’re excited to showcase our newest ship from here. We look forward to our guests enjoying all the onboard experiences Norwegian Aqua has to offer with their loved ones before relaxing on the pink sandy beaches and dipping into the clear blue waters of Bermuda.”

Aboard Norwegian Aqua’s sailings from New York, guests can spend a few days at sea exploring the ship’s standout features like the longest and fastest slides at sea; the Aqua Slidecoaster, a thrilling hybrid waterslide and roller coaster; the Glow Court, a digital sports complex with an interactive LED floor; and the Aqua Game Zone, a multi-generational gaming venue filled with retro arcade games and new-age virtual reality experiences. For those seeking a more relaxing onboard experience, Norwegian Aqua boasts an expanded pool deck and Vibe Beach Club, the adults-only outdoor sundeck equipped with loungers, cabanas, hot tubs and the venue’s own private bar. Additionally, guests can revel in a wide array of treatments at the Mandara Spa and Salon as well as the rejuvenating Thermal Suite, the forward-facing relaxation area featuring heated loungers, a variety of saunas and sensory experiences all with expansive views of the ocean.

With more time in port and overnight stays in Bermuda, guests can experience coastal adventures and activities by day, all before returning to the ship to dine at one of the 17 onboard culinary venues or for vibrant nightlife performances, like “Revolution: A Celebration of Prince,” an immersive theatrical concert experience created in-house to honor the multi-Grammy^® Award-nominated and winner, or “Elements: The World Expanded,” an enhanced version of NCL’s top-rated show, inspired by the four elements – earth, wind, fire and water.

Following her New York City sailings and just in time to beat the winter blues, Norwegian Aqua will travel to Miami to sail four, five and seven-day Bahamas and Caribbean cruises from October 2025 through April 2026. Throughout these voyages, Norwegian Aqua will visit NCL’s quintessential private island in the Bahamas and one of the Company’s top guest-rated Caribbean destinations, Great Stirrup Cay, which features white sandy beaches with countless loungers for optimal sun bathing; a wide variety of oceanside cabanas for privacy including luxurious villas in Silver Cove, the island’s private retreat area; multiple bars for fresh mojitos and margaritas; and an array of activities for every type of beachgoer such as paddleboarding, ziplining, and kayaking. In late 2025, the island will debut a new multi-ship pier, a 28,000-square-foot heated pool, welcome center and kids’ splash pad as well as even more enhancements including a new waterpark coming in summer 2026. In 2026, Norwegian Aqua will return to New York City for an extended season of Bermuda sailings from April 2026 to October 2026 offering guests more opportunities to embark on their dream vacation.
