Cruise News: Norwegian Cruise Line unveils their latest and largest ship in the making, Norwegian Aura

All aboard NCL’s largest ship yet!

Published on 16th January 2026

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has revealed the latest evolution in the cutting-edge Prima Plus Class, Norwegian Aura, raising the bar to a greater high as the longest and largest vessel in the award-winning fleet. The brand-new ship is slated to enter the world of cruising with a Mediterranean cruise in late spring 2027, prior to homeporting in Miami for her inaugural Caribbean season in summer 2027. 

Norwegian Aura will emulate the unmistakable grandeur of Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna, enhanced with expanded spaces, new-to-line experiences, and reimagined guest favourites. At 1,130 feet long and 168,000 gross tons, with 10 percent size and capacity increase from her sister ships, this next-generation ship truly lives up to its name and stands as a class of its own!

The first-in-the-fleet Ocean Heights easily takes the spotlight in the exciting line-up of experiences to look forward to on board. Set to be the next frontier of relaxation and adventure at sea, this open-air complex seamlessly blends brand-new attractions with well-loved classics enjoyed by guests on current NCL ships. This ever-changing space transforms from a hub of family fun by day into a laid-back social setting as night falls.

Larger-than-life thrills await at Ocean Heights, premiering the Eclipse RacersNCL’ first-ever dueling mat racer water slides stretching over 400 feet. The all-new Aura will boast the most slides seen on NCL ships than ever before, with five in Ocean Heights. For those with a thirst for bold adventures, the Aqua Free Fall offers a spine-chilling plunge down through 250 feet of exhilarating twists and turns at pulse-pounding speeds, or they can invite friends for a pendulum-style raft ride together through 300 feet of pure bliss at The Wave

The unlimited action at sea extends with The Drop, Prima Class’ signature 10-storey free-fall slide, also debuting aboard Aura. Other adrenaline-inducing experiences include an 82-foot Aura Ropes Course and a 25-foot Rock Climbing Wall. Alternatively, those who prefer more laid-back activities can enjoy the amusement-park-style Aura Midway, a mini golf course, the brand-first overhanging private cabanas overlooking Vibe Beach Club, and a chic bar for guests to watch the world go by with a cocktail at hand.

Along with these exciting new additions, Norwegian Aura is emerging with an enhanced Ocean Boulevard, with an area extended by 11% compared to Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna. Curated to cater to guests of all ages, this signature Prima Class outdoor promenade will feature new hot tubs and a vibrant bar for adults, a playground for toddlers, a dedicated kids’ alley for ages six to 10, and an exclusive hangout spot for teenagers to unwind and socialise.

Beyond action-packed experiences, Norwegian Aura will offer the most expansive pool decks in the NCL fleet, spanning over 20% larger than those of Aqua’s and Luna’s – delivering plenty of ways to chill and soak in sunshine for adults and kids! The Vibe Beach Club, NCL’s exclusive adults-only oasis, is also set to be elevated with 15% increase of size from her predecessors, complete with more sun loungers, day beds and infinity hot tubs.

Designed to offer the most indulgent sanctuaries at sea, Aura will be home to 1,976 well-appointed staterooms, including 159 ultra-exclusive suites at The Haven. This keycard-access-only retreat provides private spaces and amenities, unmatched ocean views, dedicated service, and top-of-the-line amenities. 

A stunning hull art masterpiece by the will adorn Norwegian Aura, inspired by the relationship of celestial light and bioluminescent seas, making her the most illuminating ship at the high seas. Stay tuned for more details about NCL’s newest and largest ship in the making…
