The soon-to-debut ships will feature the Company's first-ever
Aqua and Luna Game Zone, an all-new
gaming experience and evolution of NCL's popular Galaxy Pavilion
and arcade venues. The sister vessels will boast even more expanded
and redesigned spaces, including Bull's Eye Bar, a now
complimentary experience with interactive dart games and a new
full-service bar; and Tee Time, a supercharged version of mini golf
where guests can play 12 interactive holes across two decks.
The Mandara Spa and Salon and Pulse Fitness Center will also be
refreshed to include sophisticated design updates, and new
revitalizing service additions including a clay sauna, IV drip
therapy and thalassotherapy loungers aboard Norwegian Aqua and
Norwegian Luna.
"We provide our guests with more to do with a variety of fun,
exciting and elevated experiences for every type of traveler," said
David J. Herrera, President of
Norwegian Cruise Line. "The two sister ships will introduce a
brand-new venue to the fleet, the Aqua and Luna Game Zone, along with thoughtfully
redesigned spaces and bringing back many more of our best-in-class
offerings, beloved by our guests and inspired by their feedback. We
look forward to our guests enjoying more of what they love on board
and creating unforgettable memories aboard Norwegian Aqua and
Norwegian Luna."
Immersive and Interactive Guest Experiences for All
Ages
As the next evolution of Norwegian Cruise Line vessels,
Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna will feature the Aqua
and Luna Game Zone, a reimagined
version of NCL's beloved Galaxy Pavilion and arcade offerings. The
venue will showcase a wide range of games and activities that
appeal to every kind of guest, including virtual reality
experiences such as Space Racing and Beat
Hero where guests dance to the rhythm of the beat with dual
swords, plus a mix of retro arcade games like Ms. Pac-Man; Donkey
Kong; and Down the Clown.
The sister ships will also offer The Bull's Eye Bar, an
innovative take on traditional dart games, now boasting a
full-service bar so guests can indulge in hand-crafted cocktails
while playing. As a complimentary experience, guests will enjoy the
fun of darts with elevated and virtual components designed to make
the game more interactive and simplify the scoring process. With
six different games available ranging from beginner to advanced,
onboard players can take aim at a classic dart board that features
added video-game-style graphics and automated scoring that are
projected onto a big-screen TV.
Tee Time, the Prima Class interactive minigolf area themed
around the "Wonders of the World," will return to Norwegian
Aqua and Norwegian Luna two and a half times bigger than
Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, providing 12 holes across two
decks to offer a more enhanced experience to guests of all ages.
Lastly, as a result of guest feedback to provide them with more of
what they love to do, the Pickleball Court will return to its own
dedicated space separate from The Stadium.
A Wellness Retreat at Sea with Enhanced Mandara Spa &
Fitness Facilities
Masterfully crafted by world-class architects at the Rockwell
Group, both the Mandara Spa and Salon and Pulse Fitness Center
aboard Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna will be
redesigned to encourage serenity and rejuvenation. The Mandara Spa
once again features its breathtaking two-story cascading indoor spa
waterfall and sleek marble staircase, creating a perfect
environment for rest and relaxation.
Guests can now unwind with a brand-new Clay Sauna, an
invigorating spa service that revitalizes the skin through
detoxifying cleansing and gentle exfoliation, leaving the body
refreshed and radiant. The thalassotherapy pool in the Mandara Spa
and Salon aboard the two ships will also feature all-new
thalassotherapy loungers which promote relaxation, soothe muscle
tension, and improve circulation. New to the Prima Class, IV Drip
Therapy will be available to guests and provide a powerful boost of
hydration and essential nutrients, designed to enhance energy,
immunity, and overall well-being.
The Thermal Suite aboard Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian
Luna will now feature twice as many heated loungers compared
to Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, inviting more guests to
enjoy some calm and relaxation with expansive ocean views. Lastly,
guests can further invigorate the senses with returning favorites,
including the charcoal sauna, ice room, salt room, and the
flotation salt pool which creates a sensation of weightlessness to
melt any stress away while bathing the skin in nourishing
antioxidants.
Pulse Fitness Center will flaunt a new design to offer guests a
sleek, modern sanctuary complete with state-of-the-art workout
equipment; cardiovascular machines; and a dedicated spin studio.
Additionally, guests will be able to partake in a variety of
workout classes including yoga, mat Pilates, cycling, stretching
and so much more.
