About Norwegian Epic:
Accommodations Back To Top
Are you ready for the most innovative living spaces at sea? Introducing Norwegian Epic’s giant leap forward in accommodations. Starting with our New Wave Staterooms, where curved walls meet a curved ceiling with soft recessed lighting and where every “outside” stateroom has a balcony. Then there are the three “private-access” stateroom complexes - each with a unique ambiance: The Studios - designed and priced for the solo traveler – including all the amenities you’d find in a traditional stateroom, plus exclusive access to the Studio Lounge, where guests can kick back, relax and have a drink before dinner. The Spa Staterooms and Suites have access to the Mandara Spa thermal suites and the fitness center right next door. And finally The Villas, hidden away on their own deck, are accessible only by private elevator and offer an exclusive, all-pampering experience with private bar, pool, sundecks and even a private gym.
FamiliesFamilies love the freedom and flexibility of Freestyle Cruising and they’re going to love all the family friendly innovations aboard this new ship. The exhilarating Aqua Park features multiple slides with multiple thrills. Play WiiTM on a two-story screen or bowl on one of the ship’s six alleys. Or take on a challenge at the sports complex and rock-climbing wall. Plus, there’s supervised fun for the kids at Recess and teen activities at Entourage, when adults need a little grown-up time.
Dining
Yes, we have two main dining rooms. No, you won’t recognize them as such. Their dramatic design and delectable dishes were all inspired by the world’s leading culinary capitals. These, of course, are merely two of 20 dining options on board the ship. There’s an upscale steakhouse featuring both tempting steaks and chops as well as a traditional Argentinian-inspired churrascaria. There’s also our signature French Restaurant, authentic Teppanyaki, family-style Italian, tempting Chinese, sensational sushi, freshly prepared pasta dishes at our action-stations and an absolutely amazing salad bar. You can even dine on eclectic world-cuisine poolside if you so desire. And for guests of the Villas who desire a much more intimate and upscale dining experience, we offer our very exclusive Epic Club and Courtyard Grill.
Entertainment
When we say we've changed the face of cruising entertainment, we mean that literally. For the first time ever, the award-winning Blue Man Group is coming to the sea and they're performing exclusively aboard Norwegian Epic. Get ready for entertainment pandemonium with an unexpected and thoroughly fun combination of music, comedy and multi-media theatrics. And that's not all, because you'll find live entertainment all over the ship – from the acrobatic spectacular of Cirque Dreams® and Dinner to the hilarious improv of The Second City® comedy troupe and lots more.

About Our Eastern Caribbean Itinerary & Ports:
February 26 | Miami, Florida Back To Top
 |
South Florida's exciting, international city is much more than the gateway to Latin America. It's one of the world's most popular vacation destinations. With its world-renowned beaches, unrivaled nightlife, unique culinary experiences and Latin flavor, this is one place you'll want to check out. Before departing from Miami, enjoy a tour that will highlight this exciting city. Miami Beach is one of Miami's most popular attractions. There, you'll see supermodels and celebrities side by side with octogenarians in pastel plaid. |
March 1 | Philipsburg, St Maarten Back To Top
 |
When the Spanish closed their colonial fort on St. Maarten in 1648, a few Dutch and French soldiers hid on the island and decided to share it. Soon after, the Netherlands and France signed a formal agreement to split St. Maarten in half, as it is today. Philipsburg displays its Dutch heritage in its architecture and landscaping. The island offers endless stretches of beach, beautiful landscapes and great shopping. |
March 2 | Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas Back To Top
 |
Since the arrival of the first Europeans, led by Christopher Columbus in 1493, the Virgin Islands have had a varied and colorful history. The English, Dutch, Spanish, French and Danish have all had their influence on the development of the islands into a trading crossroads of the Atlantic. Charlotte Amalie is the hillside port town of St. Thomas and is famous for its shopping attractions. Many of the boutiques were once pirate strongholds or thick-walled arched-ceiling warehouses. Today, restored, they spill over with tempting imports. Non-shoppers will find beautiful beaches and water sport facilities to while away some sun filled hours. |
March 4 | Nassau, The Bahamas Back To Top
 |
For a city now known for its warming sun and balmy breezes, Nassau has a tumultuous past. First settled by the English, the area was contested by England, France and Spain. For many years, Nassau was a home base for notorious pirates, and it was burned to the ground by the Spanish three different times. Since 1740, however, visitors from all over the world in search of both relaxation and adventure have made Nassau their favorite destination. |
March 5 | Miami, Florida
