Norwegian Aqua

Restaurants and bars on Norwegian Aqua

Norwegian Aqua’s speciality restaurants give her dining its range, and each carries an à la carte charge. Onda by Scarpetta brings the celebrated Italian restaurant’s modern take on pasta and seafood to sea, relaxed rather than formal, and reservations are recommended. Cagney’s Steakhouse is the classic American evening out, with Black Angus beef, fresh seafood and a serious wine list. The Local Bar & Grill is free to walk into and charges only for what you order: pub plates such as fish and chips or a Reuben sandwich, a beer or a cocktail, and the game on screen.

Drinks in her bars, from the Waves Pool Bar to the Observation Lounge with its 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows, are charged as you go unless your fare covers them, and the Free at Sea fare bundles a premium beverage package and a speciality dining package for the first two guests in the stateroom, along with a Wi-Fi package.

The Kids’ Aqua Park and an adults-only beach club

Norwegian Aqua gives children and adults a place each to unwind: the Kids’ Aqua Park for the younger set and the Vibe Beach Club for grown-ups. The Aqua Park is included in the fare, with slides, tipping buckets and water cannons for burning off energy between port days. Splash Academy, also included, runs creative play, sports competitions and themed activities for ages 3 to 12, and there are included spaces for toddlers and teenagers as well.

The Vibe Beach Club is an adults-only retreat with sea views, loungers, a spacious hot tub, chilled towels and fruit skewers. Entry needs a paid pass or a cabana reservation for the whole cruise, and places are limited, so it pays to book early.

Caribbean round trips from Port Canaveral and Miami

Norwegian Aqua sails round trips in the Caribbean from two Florida ports. From Port Canaveral she runs 7-night voyages in December, January and from March to May, the Australian summer into autumn. Stops change between departures, but you might see Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas, George Town in the Cayman Islands and Cozumel in Mexico.

From Miami her voyages run 6 and 7 nights in April and November, and typical calls include Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and San Juan, Puerto Rico. She also sails 3- and 4-night round trips from Miami in April and May; ports vary, and Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau are among them. Wherever she sails from, we book the flights from Australia, a night or two in Miami or Port Canaveral and the transfers with the cruise, so even her shortest sailing becomes part of a longer holiday. For what sails before the year is out, see Caribbean cruises in 2026.

She belongs to Norwegian Cruise Line’s Prima Class, with fellow members including Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Viva and Norwegian Luna; the rest of the line’s ships are on our Norwegian Cruise Line page.

Norwegian Aqua cabins and deck plans

Norwegian Aqua’s most spacious suites sit in The Haven, a ship within a ship hidden away at the top of the vessel. Haven guests have a concierge and a 24-hour butler throughout the cruise, plus their own restaurant, bar and sundeck. Her cabins and deck plans show where The Haven sits at the top of the ship and how her nine cabin decks are laid out.

CruiseAway sells Norwegian Aqua’s Caribbean sailings alongside the rest of Norwegian Cruise Line’s fleet. Our cruise experts know these ships and their fares, and can talk you through her departures. Her 2027 sailings are listed among our Caribbean cruises in 2027.
