With bookings now open for sailings set to start in summer 2010, the Norwegian Epic certainly lives up to its namesake in more ways than one, with unprecedented accommodation, entertainment, and leisure options for guests to enjoy.

Match your room with your personality and stay in a chic studio or a quaint villa. Take a seat at the electrifying new Ice Bar for a post-dinner drink, or dance 'til dawn at one of several posh lounges. If you're bringing the kids along – or are just a kid at heart – you'll get a kick out of the waterslide-laden Aqua Park, the two-story Nintendo Wii screen, or six-lane bowling alley. And of course, there's plenty to eat aboard the Norwegian Epic as well, including the sophisticated Cagney's Steakhouse & Churrascaria. Plus, don't miss the internationally acclaimed Blue Man Group show – you won't find this experimental comedy rock show anywhere else at sea. The Norwegian Epic ushers in a new standard for Norwegian, taking the idea of Freestyle Cruising to a whole new level.
