Norwegian Aqua is the debut ship of the Prima Plus subclass operated by Norwegian Cruise Line and is 10% larger than other ships of the Prima class. The ship features a slidecoaster hybrid attraction, digital sport complex, seventeen restaurants, eighteen bars, and external art designed by Allison Hueman. Built by Fincantieri at Marghera, Norwegian Aqua completed its maiden voyage from the shipyard to Southampton, with its transatlantic crossing diverted to New York City due to inclement weather.
