In an update, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), said it had celebrated the official christening of the ‘Norwegian Aqua’ in Miami and unveiled plans to redesign Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s Bahamian private island.
In the fourth quarter of this year, Great Stirrup Quay will be furnished with an expansive pool area with a dedicated bar and kids splash zone.
The new facilities will be opened at the same time as the pier’s upgrade to enable it take more than on cruise ship, simultaneously.
‘Norwegian Aqua’s’ christening ceremony took place at the company’s LEED® Gold Certified terminal at PortMiami.
“It is a very special time for all of us at NCL – we are welcoming a new incredible ship into our fleet with the christening of the stunning and action-packed, ‘Norwegian Aqua’, and we are doing so alongside her godfather, Eric Stonestreet, who perfectly embodies the authenticity of what it means for our guests to ‘Experience More at Sea,'” said David Herrera, NCL President.
“In addition, we are unveiling that Great Stirrup Cay is getting even greater with more to do! Later this year, we will launch new experiences for our guests to enjoy on this already incredible private island. And now with our newest ship, ‘Norwegian Aqua’, entering into the market with voyages to the Caribbean and the Bahamas, now is the perfect time to start planning your next warm-weather vacation, ” he said.
Following her maiden voyage, ‘Norwegian Aqua’ will arrive to Port Canaveral for a season of seven-day Eastern Caribbean sailings through August, 2025.
From August, 2025 through October, 2025, she will sail a series of five and seven-day warm-weather voyages to Bermuda from New York City before returning to Miami for a season of seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruises between October, 2025 through April, 2026, calling again to Great Stirrup Cay.
