Norwegian Cruise Line is the fourth largest cruise line in the world and they have eight more cruise ships either under construction or on order.
Half of these eight ships are the largest NCL has ever ordered at 225,000 gross tons.
Here is a look at the eight new ships coming to Norwegian Cruise Line over the next 12 years.
Prima Plus Class
Norwegian Cruise Line has four Prima Plus class ships coming out over the next four years. The first two ships will be 156,300 gross tons in size with the second two being even larger at 169,000 gross tons.
Norwegian Aqua 2025
Norwegian Aqua will debut in April 2025 and have two new experiences never before seen on a cruise ship. The first will be a hybrid waterslide and rollercoaster called the Aqua Slidecoaster. It will be the longest and fastest slide at sea.
The ship will also have the first clay sauna at sea, located in the ship’s expanded thermal suite.
Norwegian Aqua will have exclusive entertainment offerings. This includes guest favorites and two shows, “Revolution: A Celebration of Prince” and “Elements: The World Expanded”.
Other entertainment on the ship will be “The Improv at Sea” comedy club, “The Price is Right LIVE on NCL” game show and “Syd Norman’s Presents: Rumours”.
