About Norwegian Epic
Norwegian Epic is a one-of-a-kind ship of about 155,900 gross tons carrying 4,070 guests at double occupancy, built at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique yard in Saint-Nazaire, France, under Norwegian's F3 project. A planned sister was canceled in 2008, and Epic was delivered in June 2010 as the third-largest cruise ship in the world at the time. A three-week dry dock in spring 2025 refreshed her Kids' Aqua Park, enlarged the adults-only Vibe Beach Club and added eight staterooms. She sails Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral in winter and Mediterranean voyages between Barcelona and Rome (Civitavecchia) in summer.
