An Epic Crossing

NCL officially began accepting bookings yesterday for Norwegian Epic's first revenue cruise: a 7-day voyage from Southampton to New York, departing June 24, 2010.  In addition, NCL also announced a new seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruise set to depart Miami on July 10, 2010 - one week earlier than originally scheduled.

The 4,200 passenger ship - the largest newbuild for NCL to date - represents the latest iteration of the company's wildly successful Freestyle Cruising program.  The ship will offer passengers more of everything: up to 20 dining venues and 20 bars, a 33-foot high rock climbing wall, performances by the Blue Man Group, and a 265-seat, "big top" style theatre. 

One of the most talked-about features on the Epic are the staterooms: the modern New Wave staterooms feature curved walls and accents, and the new "Studio" category inside staterooms feature their own private lounge called the Living Room. 

More details about the Norwegian Epic can be found on the Norwegian Epic site.
