Inside new cruise ship setting sail in 2025 with rollercoaster waterslide | Cruise | Travel
A brand new cruise ship is set to launch in 2025 that features a rollercoaster waterslide, glass bridge and an infinity hot tub for guests.
The new Norwegian Aqua cruise liner boasts a world-first: a magnet powered hybrid water slide and rollercoaster that propels passengers at speeds up to 30km/h aboard the gigantic ship.
The Aqua Slidecoaster is one of a host of incredible attractions aboard the cruise ship. Those brave enough can also take on The Drop – a stomach-lurching, 10-storey plunge slide that clings to the ship’s edge.
For a slightly more relaxed holiday experience, the ship also has a glass bridge and infinity-edged pool for the ultimate views of the ocean.
The new ship also premieres a new interactive experience with the Glow Court: a spots complex with an interactive LED sports floor that transforms into a nightclub when evening falls, perfect for letting loose on the dance floor.
Other features aboard include an infinity edge swimming pool, clubs for kids and teens, an exclusive beach club, an array of charming lounge bars and top-class dining venues.
Another first is the entertainment options on board. Premiering exclusively on the innovative Aqua are two original productions, Revolution: A Celebration of Prince and Elements: The World Expanded, which will be showcased in the upgraded Aqua Theatre & Club.
The first in-house show is a tribute to the award-winning music legend Prince, featuring a concert-like experience of his life story and iconic hits, such as “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Little Red Corvette” and more.
For her inaugural season, Norwegian Aqua will explore the Caribbean coast from Port Canaveral with seven-day itineraries, calling at Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Great Stirrup Cay, NCL’s private island in the Bahamas.
With prices starting from £1988pp, including return flights you could hop on a 7-night adventure on the Norwegian Aqua, departing from New York on the 12th September 2025, to explore the stunning islands of Bermuda and the Caribbean.
The ship will launch in April 2025, just in time for summer.
