The second ship in the Prima Plus class debuted in Miami in March 2026 and is the fleet's newest addition, becoming its 21st vessel. Designed almost identically to its sister ship Aqua, it measures 156,300 GT and accommodates approximately 3,550 guests, about 10% more than the Prima class. The hull artwork was created by female artist ELLE, who also served as godmother at the naming ceremony. In its first year of service, it will alternate between 3- to 4-night short Bahamas itineraries and 7-night Caribbean cruises from its Miami base, switching to a focus on the Western Caribbean from November 2026. From spring 2027, it is scheduled to operate New York-Bermuda itineraries, including consecutive nights at King's Wharf. For travelers who want to experience a completely new ship, it is currently the clearest choice.

Charged automatically to your onboard account after boarding as the Discretionary Service Charge. Prepayment is also possible. A separate 20% service charge is added to food and drink purchases such as drink packages, specialty restaurants and the spa.
Payment
Cashless onboard
Medical facilities
Every ship has a 24-hour medical center, with about 1 to 2 doctors and 2 to 3 nurses on staff depending on ship size. Consultation and treatment costs are not included in the fare and are billed separately to your onboard account (an itemized statement for insurance claims can be issued). Travel insurance is recommended.
Bringing items onboard
At embarkation, you may bring up to 1 bottle each of wine and champagne (Other alcohol, beer, and drinks such as water and soda are not allowed). A corkage fee applies when opened in restaurants, bars or cabins ($15 for a 750 ml bottle, $30 for a 1.5 L magnum). Holders of a drinks package (including Free at Sea) are exempt.
Mobile and connectivity
Offshore (as a guide, 12 nautical miles or more from land), your home carrier's roaming can be used through Cellular at Sea (an onboard base station, displayed under names such as "cellularatsea"), but both calls and data tend to be expensive. Switching to airplane mode and using Wi-Fi calling (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio, etc.) over the onboard Wi-Fi is offered as a cheaper alternative.
