Make new memories aboard the most illuminating ship at sea!
Launching in 2027, Norwegian Aura is the most recent evolution in the cutting-edge Prima Plus Class – setting a new standard in scale and size in the award-winning fleet of Norwegian Cruise Line! Renowned international artist Rosie Woods designed the ship’s hull art, inspired by the relationship of celestial light and bioluminescent seas, perfectly capturing the unparalleled splendour and illumination of the all-new ship.
Following her sister ships Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna, Aura will emulate their unmistakable grandeur, enhanced with first-in-the-fleet experiences, expanded spaces, and reimagined guest favourites. At 1,130 feet long and 168,000 gross tons, with 10 percent size and capacity increase from her predecessors, the next-generation NCL ship pushes the limits of imagination as the longest and largest vessel across the fleet.
Taking centre stage in the impressive line-up of experiences are the multi-level Ocean Heights, a brand-first open-air complex, set to be next epicentre of adventure and relaxation at sea; the enhanced Ocean Boulevard, featuring dedicated zones for guests of all ages; and the elevated pool decks, delivering plenty of ways to relax and soak in sunshine! Guests can also enjoy expanded exclusive retreats, including Vibe Beach Club and The Haven, plus many more renewed signature highlights…

Ship Transfers and Shore Excursions Facilities
Ship Transfers & Tenders
Guests must be aware that certain vessel transfers, such as tendering and gangways, may not be fully accessible to wheelchairs or scooters at the time that they desire or that they cannot go ashore at all. When a ship is unable to dock, guests are taken ashore on smaller boats called tenders. Guests may need to utilise steps or a stair case to access the tender and to re-board the ship. Some guests with limited mobility may find it difficult to embark or disembark the ship at certain times whilst at dock or whilst tendering.
Note: We are unable to provide assistance from the ship to tender and/or from tender to shore for guests with scooters and/or wheelchairs that weigh a combined 100 lbs. Guests tendering to Great Stirrup Cay may be exempt from this. Mobility devices must be able to fold in order to be accommodated onboard the tender.

Shore Excursions
Some shore excursion facilities may not be fully accessible to guests with mobility challenges. Although we endeavor to make sure that companies based in the United States provide accessible shore excursions, we cannot guarantee that all are able to provide facilities that are accessible to persons with disabilities. Moreover, shore excursions in foreign ports can present challenges to disabled guests. For detailed, up-to-date information on accessibility issues involving shore excursions, we recommend that you contact our Shore Excursion team experts at 0333 2412319 or visit our website.
