Ports of Call

Soft sand and explosive cultures are what make the Eastern Caribbean a haven for delightful and laid-back adventuring. All of the destinations you'll visit are bastions of excellent duty-free shopping, but are also thrilling locations steeped in history from colonial conquests to swashbuckling mischief. An island half entrenched in romantic French traditions and rich Dutch elegance, St. Maarten is a vibrant mix of cultures you won't often find so closely knit together in a tropical setting. Travel to St. Thomas, the shining jewel of the U.S. Virgin Islands, where an exciting past as a pirate's stronghold has given way to a lavish playground for cycling, snorkeling, golfing and boating of all kinds. In Nassau, take an optional snorkel excursion or splash through the clear blue surf in the company of chattering dolphins. With Miami as your final destination, you'll be able to meander through South Beach, eyes peeled for celebrity sightings, or laze off your sea-legs dozing on the beach.

Accommodations & Activities

Cutting through the cerulean surf, the NCL Epic is a formidable floating palace with sleekly furnished staterooms. Envelope yourself in a commodious pod of relaxation equipped to make your stay on board more than just pleasant. With floor-to-ceiling windows that open out onto your own private balcony, you'll be able to feel the caress of the swift ocean breeze without having to hit the upper decks. Enjoy quality quiet time in your sitting room before dinner, winding down from your exhilarating day on land, and feel pampered with turn down service that'll make crawling into your sumptuous bedding that much easier.

Keep your regimented fitness goals on track in the Pulse Fitness Center, where you'll find an army of cardiovascular machines, free weights and a range of classes from yoga to spinning. Practice lay-ups and slam dunks at the Sports Complex, or engage your upper body's muscular endurance on the rock climbing and repelling walls. As the sun streaks closer to the horizon, sink into the plush seats of the Epic's theatre and enjoy the percussive exuberance of the popular Blue Man Group. Pepper your evening with the mellow tones of blues or brassy sass of jazz in the Fat Cats Jazz & Blues club, or get reacquainted with your sense of humour at the comedy club onboard. Age isn't a factor for finding entertainment on the ship, with the tricked-out video arcade, Wii Wall, as well as the kids and teens clubs, there really won't be much time for boredom.

Food & Drink

Be entertained by the swirling culinary acrobatics of your table's own chef with authentic Japanese teppanyaki, gorge on a wide array of succulently flavoured meats as they drift by your table at the South American inspired churrascaria, or go for a gooey slice of pizza as a midnight snack. Whether you are a connoisseur of the amber tones of Scotch or whiskey, or an aficionado of the dulcet flavours of a lychee martini, all tastes are accounted for on board the Epic. Pair your evening of delicate sushi tasting with a romp at the sake bar, and earn some bragging rights by frequenting the ocean's only floating vodka ice bar, a truly rare experience.
