Norwegian Epic® is sure to dazzle with her contemporary design, world-class performances, and endless onboard activities. Cruisers of all ages can enjoy everything from an Aqua Park to a towering Climbing Wall. Take a break at Mandara Spa® and unwind in the Thermal Suite, designed for ultimate relaxation. Adults can escape to Vibe Beach Club or Spice H2O by day and enjoy lively parties by night. Haven guests can enjoy the exclusive, adults-only Haven Sundeck—featuring luxurious daybeds, a hot tub with ocean views, and personalized bar service. Multiple dining venues cater to every taste, while drinks flow at unique bars like Ice Bar, Shaker's Martini & Champagne Bar, and Maltings Beer & Whiskey Bar. Whether exploring the Mediterranean, crossing the Atlantic, or soaking up Caribbean sun, you’re in for an Epic vacation.

Tickle your funny bones at Headliners Comedy Club with live performances by Levity Entertainment Group’s roster of top-notch comedians. With numerous shows per cruise, grab a drink, and prepare for a sidesplitting good time. Seats are on a first come, first served basis.

Now this is as cool as it gets. Inspired by the original ice hotels in Scandinavia, the Skyy Vodka Ice Bar is a unique arctic-like frozen chamber where the bar, seating and glasses are made entirely from ice. The bar is kept at 17 degrees Fahrenheit and features specialty drinks made from Skyy Vodka, guaranteed to give guests the ultimate chill.

Spice H20 is an adult-only escape. By day, you can sip cold cocktails from your reclined lounge chair. By night, it’s a whole different beat. Let loose and dance beneath the stars.

Vibe Beach Club is an exclusive, adults-only retreat with ocean views, plush loungers, an oversized hot tub, and perks like chilled towels and fruit skewers. Access requires a Pass or Cabana for two, available for your full cruise. Reserve early—space is limited.

When you book with the Free at Sea™ specialty dining package, a wide selection of exquisite meals are included with big savings. Or, a cover charge ranging from $40-$60 per person applies at the restaurants listed below.

• The air program (discount) is for guest 1 and 2 only.
• Airfare is booked in economy class.
• Once airfare is published (typically 300 days prior to departure), you may request an upgrade for an additional cost.
• ONLY GUEST BOOKED IN THE SAME CABIN ARE GUARANTEED TO BE ON THE SAME FLIGHT. DEPARTING FROM THE SAME AIRPORT DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE ON THE SAME FLIGHT AS OTHER GUESTS WHO ARE NOT IN YOUR CABIN.
• Airline selection and departure times cannot be requested or guaranteed.
• Flights may include multiple connections or layovers.
• You may initially include airfare in your reservation and later choose to remove the air program, provided this change is made no later than 120 days prior to departure.

• If you don't have a passport yet, please start the process now. Don't wait.
• You will need at minimum a one-night hotel stay before the cruise. If you are interested in touring Rome, you may need a second night hotel stay.
• This cruise embarks in Barcelona, Spain. It disembarks in Rome, Italy.
• I will be providing hotel information for both Barcelona and Rome.
• Gratuities, although not included in your cruise fare, are $140.00 per person. I highly recommend you add this to your cruise at the time of booking.

You will be required to provide the travel agent with a copy of your passport. If you do not have a passport at the time of booking you will be required to sign a waiver stating, you understand a U.S. Passport is required.

TSA requirements mandate that all guests who have purchased air, Norwegian must provide TSA with Full Names (as it appears on your passport) that includes middle name (if applicable) Date of Birth and Gender. Without this information you can be denied boarding the aircraft.

When traveling internationally you should purchase travel insurance. Most foreign countries will not accept U.S. insurance. Not only does insurance provide protection for those common things like trip delay, trip interruption and baggage claim assistance but it also provides medical coverage and medical transportation coverage if you require medivac services.
