An Epic blog ............ (part 1)


When the Complete Cruise Guide was launched a couple of weeks ago the new ship that brought the most comment from my colleagues was the Epic. Everyone seemed to want to see, visit or cruise on this ship!

Well why I asked myself? Is it:-

‘her innovative design and world-class restaurants to her New Wave accommodation and the most happening and sophisticated nightlife at sea, everything about this impressive ship is done on a grand scale.’ (To quote the NCL brochure)

For me, I think it just breaks the mould, will be different and should be a great hit for those who get on board.

There are some 20 different dining options, some with an additional charge, some 18 bars and lounges and you can sip Vodka in an ice bar one of only 14 in the world! The entertainment seems also to be mind blowing – with The Blue Man Group at sea, and ‘The Epic Plunge’ which is a water park at the top of the ship!

So how do you get to see her, well she will sail from Southampton on 24th June 2010 across the Atlantic to New York before going onto Miami for weekly 7 nights Eastern and Western Caribbean trips.

However, NCL have just announced that there new flagship Epic will be based in Europe for the 2011 season. Sailing from Barcelona doing the classic stops in Monte Carlo, Italy and Majorca before returning to Barcelona.

These are not yet on sale but you can pre-register so that you can be first in line when they do go on sale.

In the meantime, if you want to know more about this cruise ship just watch and wait……………


Epic's float out from July 2009, wonder what she looks like now?
