History

Entering service in 1993 as ''Windward'', she was the second of two sister vessels built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique for Norwegian Cruise Line. In 1998 both vessels were lengthened by insertion of a 130 foot midsection and emerged with new names. ''Windward'' became ''Norwegian Wind'', and ''Dreamward'' became ''Norwegian Dream''. This work was completed by Lloyd Werft Shipyard in Bremerhaven, Germany. As with the rest of NCL's fleet, ''Norwegian Wind'' operated with the "Freestyle" cruising concept, which allows guests to dine in any number of restaurants, in casual attire, at times of their own choosing.
In April 2007 ''Norwegian Wind'' left the NCL fleet and was transferred to Star Cruises as ''SuperStar Aquarius''. After refitting and refurbishment of the public areas to cater to the Asia-Pacific market, as well as a new livery to match the rest of the Star Cruises fleet, the vessel is now based at the Ocean Terminal, Hong Kong.

Vessel Class

''SuperStar Aquarius'' is the second in a line of two ships with this design. She was preceded by ''NCL's'' ''Dreamward'' in 1992, which later became the ''Norwegian Dream''.
