Fincantieri floats out new ship Norwegian Aqua Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has floated out Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Aqua  at its dry dock in Marghera, Italy.

The construction milestone was celebrated by Fincantieri welding two ceremonial coins into Norwegian Aqua to bestow good luck and safe sailing for ship.

“We are excited to celebrate another milestone with our partners at Fincantieri, who are integral to the Prima-class journey and supporting us in evolving the amazing experience we design and deliver for our guests,” said David Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. “Building upon the guest-favourite features of the award-winning vessels of this class, the 10 per cent increase in space provides us with more flexibility to deliver more offerings and more beautifully designed venues for our guests to relax and explore onboard Norwegian Aqua.”
