The only one off ship in the Norwegian fleet, Norwegian Epic offers a raft of different restaurants- many at extra charge- combined with outstanding entertainment on a big, vibrant floating playground that offers more of everything to over 4,000 passengers of all ages.
The accommodation consists of everything from a complex of small, inside solo studio cabins, to an exclusive area called The Haven, a kind of 'ship within a ship' private community complete with its own pool, hot tubs, and separate restaurants.
The outdoor deck areas feel somewhat disjointed, with no clear flow at times. It's more of a massive outdoor entertainment venue than a place for general relaxation, and it is always busy, especially on sea days.
In terms of entertainment, the Norwegian Epic is a show stopper. With a replica of Liverpool's world famous Cavern Club and a resident Beatles' tribute act as a new focal point, Norwegian Epic really is a full on party boat. There are other venues including Howl at the Moon, complete with duelling piano players, and a vast casino and disco that keeps the ship rocking through until the wee small hours.
The interiors of the Norwegian Epic are surprisingly restrained and tasteful in comparison to the ships that came before her, with definite Art Deco styling and more than a gentle nod towards the old Queen Mary of 1936. Many of the broad, central alleyways are double height, with the restaurants and bars fanning off to left and right of these central axis. This helps to create the impression that the ship is bigger than she actually is.
Children's facilities are extensive across all age groups, from toddlers to teens, and this makes Norwegian Epic a great choice for even extended families. And soda packages are available for the little ones at very good prices, too.
In short, the Norwegian Epic is a big, full on holiday resort that changes the scenery every day. With a great, on board vibe and the famous 'Freestyle Dining' as a stand out feature, she is one of the most all inclusive holiday options at sea anywhere.
