51 interiors. NCL has been committed to using sustainable materials and implementing eco-conscious designs. Textiles and carpets were supplied by Dansk Wilton and Ege Carpets, both chosen as partners because of their craftsmanship and focus on sustainable production. Lighting design in public areas was handled by specialist teams and contributes to the overall atmosphere and functionality of the ship’s interior spaces throughout the day and night. “Interior design on Norwegian Aqua is more than aesthetics; it’s the emotional architecture of the guest journey,” says Anslow. “Thoughtful spatial design impacts everything from how relaxed a guest feels during dinner at Hudson’s, with its 270-degree views and serene design, to how energised they feel arriving at The Penrose Atrium, a soaring, multilevel space with sculptural design details and statement lighting fixtures. “We’ve collaborated closely with top-tier designers to ensure every detail contributes to a heightened guest experience. For example, staterooms and suites feature calming tones, layered textures, and smart storage, making them both beautiful and functional. Meanwhile, The Haven’s private lounges and dining areas create a boutique hotel atmosphere at sea, ensuring guests feel a sense of privilege and calm from the moment they arrive.” Anslow adds that Norwegian Aqua reflects a global design perspective. “From Nordic minimalism to tropical modernism, there are subtle influences throughout the ship that nod to international design traditions,” he says. “There’s also integration of art with sitespecific installations and curated pieces that create focal points and invite guests to pause and engage.” “ Interior design on Norwegian Aqua is more than aesthetics; it’s the emotional architecture of the guest journey” INTERIOR VIEW Norwegian Aqua features an expanded adults-only Vibe Beach Club Image: Norwegian Cruise Line
