Norwegian Cruise Line’s largest and most innovative Freestyle Cruising ship, Norwegian Epic, is expected for delivery in June 2010. The ship will arrive in New York, her first port of call in the United States, on July 1, 2010.
The 4,200 passengers Norwegian Epic is changing the face of cruise line entertainment. She will have multiple, specially-designed entertainment venues throughout the ship so that guests can choose from a wide variety of entertainment each evening of their cruise.
The ship features a 685-seat Epic Theater and a 265-seat theater-in-the-round, where famed producer/director Neil Goldberg will present Cirque Dreams®.
