2025's Best Cruises: Cross the Atlantic on Norwegian's New Ship in March

The transatlantic route is a big part of the voyage’s appeal. Norwegian Aqua is the cruise line’s most innovative ship, and days at sea will be action-packed. There’s an adults-only beach club with panoramic ocean views, a 10-story-high drop slide, the world’s first hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide, infinity pools galore, multiple kids clubs, and aerial acrobatics, magic, and improv shows in the evenings. In between all that, you get to eat well at one of Norwegian Aqua’s 15 dining options. You can grab a quick bite at the buffet at the relaxed Surfside Café and Grill, book an outdoor table at the private fine-dining restaurant, or if you want to kick back in one of the luxury staterooms (some of Norwegian’s most spacious accommodations to date) room service is available 24 hours.

On-shore excursions are available at the departure port of Southampton, where you can learn about the city’s maritime history with a visit to the Mayflower Memorial. In Boston, you can explore the Freedom Trail and the city’s renowned museums at your leisure.
