Norwegian Aqua Arrives in New York For Preview Event

Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship, Norwegian Aqua, has arrived in the United States for a two-day preview event.

More than 2,000 guests will visit the ship while it’s docked in New York City to get a glimpse of the brand’s newest offerings. From here, Norwegian Aqua will sail south to Miami for a christening ceremony in Miami, with actor Eric Stonestreet serving as godfather.

The vessel will then offer 7-day Caribbean voyages from Port Canaveral through July. Norwegian Aqua will return to New York City in August for a season of 5- and 7-day Bermuda cruises.

In October, the ship will return to Miami to offer 5- and 7-day Eastern Caribbean itineraries—with stops at Great Stirrup Cay, the line’s private island destination in the Bahamas.

“New York and the tri-state area are an incredibly important market for us, so to showcase the beautiful Norwegian Aqua here in the Big Apple during her inaugural season was a no-brainer,” says David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line.

“We cannot wait for her to return to New York City in August for a season of voyages to Bermuda and for our guests to experience more to do and more to enjoy with everything she has to offer for the whole family," Herrera continued.
