Norwegian Cruise Line’s Prima Plus-class ship Norwegian Aqua is to debut in April 2025 with the company’s first Thai speciality restaurant, Sukhothai. The restaurant’s decor scheme has been created by Londonbased interior design firm SMC Design and combines traditional and contemporary Thai design elements. Guests will be able to dine on traditional dishes reimagined with new twists while seated under bamboo and rice paper lights. Sukhothai will also feature a geometric patterned floor and colourful furniture. Norwegian debuts first Thai restaurant Following a refurbishment, Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Infinity features Sunset Suites in the rear of the ship. These include large private balconies, designed to enable passengers to watch the sunset while sailing. Explora Journeys’ second ship, Explora II, will feature bespoke furniture created by interior designer Matteo Nunziati. “Creating a completely new lifestyle ocean travel brand means redefining luxury at sea in a subtle, intuitive way,” said Antonio di Nenno, director of architecture and design at Explora Journeys. “This is relaxed luxury, where each architectural detail is characterised by the same refined simplicity that defines Explora Journeys’ instinctive, thoughtful service.” The ship is scheduled to embark on its maiden voyage from Barcelona in Spain to Civitavecchia in Italy on 11 August 2024.
