Norwegian Epic entered a three-week drydock in spring 2025 for significant upgrades. Scheduled for completion just in time for the summer 2025 cruises, guests can expect an array of new and improved outdoor experiences, as well as additional accommodations, all aboard the newly refurbished Norwegian ship!
A perfect blend of relaxation and adventure awaits on Deck 18, with a brand-new hot tub joining the slate of open-deck spaces to indulge guests on board. Guests can continue to enjoy the exhilarating 200-foot-long bowl slide of Epic Plunge, get their adrenaline pumping in the first-ever rappelling wall at sea, or simply unwind on the Sun Deck, all before taking a refreshing dip in the bubbling hot tub.
Catering to cruises of all ages, Epic is replacing SplashGolf with a revamped Kids’ Aqua Park, featuring a tropical-themed pool where children can have plenty of fun in the sun. Meanwhile, grown-ups can discover the true meaning of tranquillity in the expanded Vibe Beach Club, occupying the space of the Posh Beach Club. A new set of comfy sun loungers and private luxe cabanas, plus an additional hot tub, will be installed in the adult-only oasis – creating the perfect setting for taking in the views of every breath-taking sight on the horizon!
Lastly, the revitalisation project also plans to introduce eight new staterooms, offering a combination of oceanview and balcony categories. Each will boast the lushest amenities and an easy access to panoramic views, creating a closer connection between the guests and the ocean!
Following the conclusion of the drydock, Norwegian Epic is making her season debut in Europe, embarking from Italy and sailing to some of the most captivating destinations across the Mediterranean and Greece. After her enchanting European escapes, she will continue with her Caribbean cruises, calling at Antigua, Barbados, St. Lucia and beyond!

Debuting some amazing enhancements aimed at further enriching guest experience, the elegant Epic is truly a class of its own!
