Norwegian Epic: Family fun!







Can you believe how much fun it would be to be a kid again aboard Norwegian Epic? This ship has something for all ages and Jolly Mon Vacations can bring it to you!

Nickelodeon, teen nightclub, video arcade, PlayStation® 3 and so much more. Now that you’ve heard the facts, here are a few more highlights to complete the picture for you.


Recess – a kid’s fantasy play area designed to entertain younger kids ages 2-9, and tweens, ages 10-12. It’s supervised and filled with age-appropriate activities including computer games, Wii™, PlayStation® 3, an interactive light-up dance floor, karaoke performance stage (that doubles as a surround-sound cinema theater), lots of room to run and play, and lots more.
There are many extra advantages to Recess, including the extended hours it offers so moms and dads can have time for their own fun, and its close proximity to Epic’s family accommodations.

Entourage is a cool hangout for teens ages 13-17. It’s designed to feel like an adult lounge with large flat-screen TVs, PlayStation®3, air hockey, pinball, foosball and a video jukebox. At night, the space transforms into a teen nightclub with music, dancing and comfy chairs to relax in.
Conveniently located on the deck below Entourage is the Video Arcade with the latest video and arcade games.

Next comes Norwegian’s exclusive Nickelodeon at Sea Breakfast for the whole family. Featured in the Spiegel Tent at least once during a 7-day cruise, families can have a great breakfast while being entertained by their favorite Nickelodeon characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer and many more.

On special Norwegian cruises, families can have the ultimate Nickelodeon experience: a Nickelodeon All Access Cruise where it’s non-stop fun, all around the ship, all week long. In fact, on these exclusive cruises families can meet real live Nickelodeon TV stars, see exclusive movie premieres, plus every single family has an opportunity to get slimed.

Norwegian Epic has created some of the most spacious, accommodating and unique spaces for families to be found at sea. Amenities include extra bedrooms, connecting staterooms and locations close to Recess. And don’t forget – every single ocean view stateroom aboard Epic has its own balcony making them all Balcony Staterooms.

Among the other exciting activities in store for families aboard this ship are: Live performances by Blue Man Group (included in the cruise fare), a thrilling Aqua Park with three exciting multi-story water slides, a huge Sports Complex with both a climbing wall and a rappelling wall, six bowling alleys, a two-story Wii screen, as many as 21 dining options (including pizzas delivered just about anywhere on the ship, a fresh buffet with made-to-order dishes, teppanyaki, Italian trattoria and many more), and we’re just getting started.

Families love the freedom and flexibility of Freestyle Cruising and all the family friendly innovations aboard this ship.

Norwegian Epic was built with families in mind. We've created a world of excitement with living spaces for togetherness and privacy - all on one ship. And all of this while cruising to some of the most beautiful destinations on earth. This is not just a ship. It’s not just a vacation. It’s Norwegian Epic and family cruising will never be quite the same again.

This was just a glimpse of the non-stop, award-winning, live entertainment available aboard Norwegian Epic. In fact, there’s so much to do, you may have to return again and again to experience it all. There are 20 exciting nightclubs, bars and lounges to explore, not to mention all the other evening entertainment possibilities available: as many as 21 restaurants, hot tub under the stars, or even just a quiet movie night in the privacy of their own stateroom.

Now that you’ve heard the facts, here are a few more highlights to complete the picture for you. USA Today says, “[Norwegian Epic] is unlike anything seen before in the cruise industry.”

Some shows just have to been seen to be believed and Blue Man Group is unbelievable. Original techno music, light shows, comedy and blow-your-mind theatrics. Almost impossible to describe and even harder to forget. Eight shows offered over seven days, and yes, the show is included in the cruise fare. Like we said, unbelievable.

Guests in the ice bar are given cozy parkas and gloves to keep warm in the 17ยบ F temperature. And included in the cover charge are two delicious specialty cocktails that will keep them warm from the inside out. ($20)

The Epic Casino is Norwegian’s largest casino offering poker, black jack, roulette, craps and hundreds of slot machines – all with an elegant, high-roller atmosphere.

By day, Spice H20 is a hip beach club with pool, music, sun deck and Latin and Asian-inspired cuisine. But when the sun sets, Spice H2O transforms into an adults-only, Ibiza-inspired nightclub. The entertainment is non-stop as the pool floor rises to become a dance floor. A giant LED screen projects hypnotic visuals under a starry sky. And aerial performers mix dance moves with acrobatic choreography.

Fat Cats is quickly becoming one of Epic’s most popular bars featuring top-notch professional jazz and blues entertainers – and there’s no cover charge to catch this show.

The Manhattan Room is one of Epic’s two main dining rooms, but you’ve never seen a ship’s main dining room quite like this one. Like a New York City supper club, this sophisticated venue offers live music every night with everything from Legends Unplugged to big band sounds to swing dancing – all included in the cruise fare.

The internationally known “Legends in Concert” performs in the Epic Theater with professional celebrity impersonators like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, and Elvis. And there’s no cover charge.

Spiegel Tent houses Epic’s Cirque Dreams & Dinner that’s part Moulin Rouge, part circus dinner show featuring amazing acrobats and entertainers. This interactive evening of entertainment has a nominal cover charge* that includes not only a delicious dinner but also the amazing talents of singers, comedians and of course, acrobats. Inside scoop: Reservations for this popular show can be made 45 days in advance.

PLUS, Spiegel Tent offers a no-charge presentation called “Presumed Murdered” – a murder mystery show where the audience helps solve the crime.

When you want to kick back in a hip, relaxed atmosphere, head over to Bliss Ultra Lounge. By day, it’s a fun spot to go bowling with the whole family, but after dark, the lights go down, the music comes up and the whole neon-lit evening is reserved for adults only. No cover charge but there is a nominal charge to bowl.

Headliners Comedy Club features the talents of world-famous Second City comedians performing 14 shows per cruise. And, Howl at the Moon’s incredible dueling baby-grand piano show is presented 4 times per week with the best hits from the 70s to today’s hip hop and the audience is encouraged to participate. Both shows are included in the cruise fare.

SVEDKA Ice Bar is one of only 14 authentic ice bars in the world and the only true ice bar at sea.

And that’s not all, there are 20 nightclubs, bars and lounges all together including: Shaker’s Martini Bar with sophisticated piano music, Malting’s Whiskey Bar with a choice selection of the best whiskeys, Sake Bar with imported sakes and beers, Humidor Cigar Lounge, Cascades Bar, Atrium Bar, Cagney’s Bar, Epic Theater Bar, Waves Pool Bar and the private Epic Club Lounge.
