Norwegian Cruise Lines
Entertainment and choice are the key features on Norwegian Epic - one of the largest ships of the Norwegian Cruise Lines fleet at 153,000 tonnes. This amazing one of a kind ship was launched in June 2010 and is simply bursting with restaurants and entertainment venues which make it a cruise “Must” for a fun packed Summer holiday.
Stateroom Accommodation
The Norwegian Epic staterooms have a revolutionary design. The ship features single studios for single travellers (double beds) located in a private key-card access complex and exclusive access to the Studio Lounge. Couples and families can choose from interior & Balcony staterooms, mini-suites and Courtyard Villas. The majority of staterooms on board are balcony staterooms with an unusual space saving curved design. Also unique to this ship are the bathroom facilities in each stateroom- there is not a separate bathroom as such but rather a bathroom area which you walk through to gain access to the sleeping area of your stateroom.
Dining Options
If you love food then there 21 dining choices on board including entertainment while you dine with a Cirque Dreams show in the Spiegel Tent or by the live band in The Manhattan Room. Cagney’s Steakhouse and Moderno Churrascaria offer a choice between traditional steaks or a Brazil- style buffet bar-b-que. Tray La Cucina for Italian, Le Bistro for French and Teppenyaki for Asian fusion hotplate table cooking.
Daytime and Evening Entertainment
Night-Owls will be spoilt for choice with 20 bars and lounges on board including an ice bar - where you are issued with thermal wear before you enter; The Bliss Ultra Lounge – is a very different nightclub concept that is dark and mysterious; while on the top deck Spice H20 is an adult’s only, Ibiza style party venue where the pool converts to a dance floor at night. The theatre features wonderful musical productions including Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Jersey Boys. Have a laugh at the Headliners Comedy Club or visit the Fat Cats Jazz Club among many more. The Aqua Park offers 3 amazing waterslides, there is a rock climbing wall, an abseiling wall, a spider web climb and a bungee trampoline. Mandara Spa is one of the biggest spas we have seen afloat with a wonderful hydro-therapy pool and there is the huge Pulse Fitness Centre next door.

Civitavecchia (for Rome), Italy
The port lies 70 miles away from the centre of Rome and so we would recommend booking an excursion through the cruise line to get the most out of your time here. The Coliseum, The Roman Form and the Trevi Fountain will give you an immediate introduction to the layers of history to be found in Rome and are all within walking distance of each other. The Pantheon is absolutely awe inspiring dating back to 27 BC and is the only complete structure from the Roma Empire still standing.
