When Norwegian Cruise Line launched its newest ship, the Norwegian Aqua, it set out to redefine what’s possible in digital guest engagement—delivering an onboard experience that’s as seamless as it is spectacular.
Across more than 200 digital displays, NCL created a fully integrated network connecting guests to everything the ship has to offer—from entertainment and dining to excursions and onboard services. Interactive kiosks, digital menus, and personalized wayfinding bring the brand to life in real time, making every touchpoint more intuitive and engaging.
Powered by Poppulo’s cloud-based platform, the system also drives measurable business results. Guests can book experiences directly from signage, leading to thousands of self-service transactions each month and increased participation in onboard activities. Real-time data integration ensures accurate, timely information, while centralized management from shore saves hours of staff time daily.
Aqua proves that great digital experiences can both delight guests and drive performance.
