NORWEGIAN Cruise Line (NCL) has unveiled the largest ship in its Prima-class, Norwegian Aura (pictured).
The recently named vessel’s first sailings will depart from May 2027, and are now available to be booked.
Aura will accommodate 3,840 guests at double occupancy, larger than the 3,571-guest Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna.
The ship will home port in Miami, offering seven-day Caribbean sailings, with a call to Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s newly enhanced private island in the Bahamas (CW 08 Jan).
One of the highlights of Aura will be Ocean Heights, an open-air activities complex, which will switch from fun by day to a vibrant, laid-back atmosphere at night, creating a lively space for the whole family.
Aura will also feature the most slides of any NCL ship, as well as a ropes course, overhanging cabanas, and more.
The ship will debut in Europe, sailing a seven-day Mediterranean voyage from Trieste to Barcelona.
Aura will then embark on a 14-day transatlantic voyage, after which she will commence a Caribbean season from Miami.
Aura will sail seven-day eastern Caribbean voyages from May to Oct 2027, with calls to island destinations including the Dominican Republic, the Virgin Islands, and Great Stirrup Cay.
The winter will see Aura offer seven-day western Caribbean voyages taking guests to tropical destinations like Honduras; Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico; and Harvest Caye, another of NCL’s private destinations. MS
