Norwegian Epic Public Areas

Aqua Park

Suit up and splash down at our first ever Aqua Park. Choose from three multi-story water slides of varying thrill factors. The first one is specifically designed for the not-so-adventurous and zips straight through the rock-climbing wall. The second slide is for the slightly more adventurous, because it twists and turns down three stories. Then there's The Epic Plunge, the only tube slide at sea that puts the blast of inner-tubing into the core of a bowl slide, with a thrilling drop through a 200-foot long tube. The Aqua Park also includes two main pools with arching water effects that illuminate at night, five hot tubs, a wading pool and a kid's pool that features whimsical sculptures, water sprays and a slide. Finally, when you are looking to dry off, there's plenty of room to soak up some rays on one of our expansive sun decks.

Recess

They've pulled out all the stops for the young ones with a gigantic kid's area and a special area just for tweens, known as Recess. Kids can blast off at the space station and enjoy age-appropriate and structured games. There's even an interactive light up dance floor, Wii^tm and PlayStation®3 gaming areas and a private karaoke performance stage that doubles a state-of-the-art surround sound cinema. Plus, the expanded hours let mom and dad have time for their own fun. It's a great time to be a kid on Norwegian Epic.

Bliss Lounge Bowling

Norwegian Epic features not one, but two of our signature, industry-first bowling alleys at sea. There's O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar & Grill where the whole gang can head on over to the lanes and test their skills. Then there's the three lanes at Bliss Ultra Lounge where during the day all ages are welcome and, at night, Bliss becomes an adults-only lounge where the game takes on a whole new look with special effects and lighting and illuminated neon-colored balls.

Entourage

Guaranteed to attract all teens, Entourage is designed like an adult lounge minus the adults. Filled with all things important to the 13- to 17-year-old crowd including self-serve food and soda stations. During the day, it's all play with PlayStation®3, air hockey, pinball, foosball, a video jukebox and nine large flat-screen televisions. In the evening, Entourage turns into a teens-only nightclub with a space for dancing to a video jukebox and trendy seating arrangements for just hanging out.

Family Dining

Sometimes kids can be the toughest critics of all. That's one reason why they offer 17 different dining options, including take-out choices and room service. So while adults enjoy a world of culinary options on board Norwegian Epic, kids can stick to their favorites including freshly grilled burgers, pizza or pasta. Even Chinese or grilled cheese. And afterwards, they'll do the dishes.

Sports Complex

The Sports Complex has not one, but two decks to play on. Join a game of pickup on a full-sized basketball court or relive those school days playing dodge ball. Practice your swing in our batting cage. Even the climbing wall is incredible. Part rock and part vertical building, our new climbing wall is accessible on two levels with varying degrees of difficulty, rated according to official U.S. climbing grades. At 33 feet high and 64 feet wide, the extreme climbing wall includes a water tube weaving right through the middle and the first-ever rappelling wall at sea. There's also a 24-foot tall enclosed climbing cage they call the Spider Web.

The Manhattan Room

You'll feel like you're in a private New York City supper club, thanks to panoramic ocean views from the two-story, floor-to-ceiling windows. An expansive dance floor and stylish Art Deco fixtures complement the sophisticated ambiance. Before, after or during your meal, you're invited to kick up your heels to the live music that changes style every night - from salsa to ballroom.

Taste

Serving traditional and contemporary cuisine, Taste's high-energy atmosphere and dramatic design are something to behold. The architectural curves contrast with organic pillars, brick accents, floor-to-ceiling velvet curtains and colorful stained glass to create a major "wow" factor, morning, noon or night. Or, if you prefer, breakfast, lunch or dinner.

La Cucina

Gather the family in our colorful piazza-style, Tuscan-esque courtyard and pass the pasta, al dente of course. With room for 182 guests, traditional Italian meals are served with a modern twist either individually or family-style for sharing. From the first scent of baking dough to the last bite of tiramisu, there's only one thing you'll say..."mangia."

Cagney's Steakhouse & Churrascaria

They've taken our traditional steakhouse and fused it with a trendy, energetic Argentinean-inspired Churrascaria that overlooks The Manhattan Room. Taking center stage is a huge, mouthwatering, irresistibly fresh salad bar and the finest cuts of meat grilled or skewered to order. Of course there are also perfectly prepared chicken, fish and vegetarian dishes to choose from.

Teppanyaki

People love the steam, chop and sizzle that happens here. Contemporary Asian décor and twelve oversized Hibachi grills set the stage for the main event. Watch as expert chefs grill up authentic Japanese dishes, while captivating you with their knife acrobatics and culinary performances.

Wasabi

Their contemporary sushi and sashimi bar mixes authentic calligraphy-lined walls with digital aquarium visuals displayed on an in-wall plasma screen.

Shanghai's

The feel is Old Shanghai in the 1930s, reminiscent of the China Club in Hong Kong. The food is a masterful mix of traditional Chinese cuisine, noodles, wok fried dishes, dim sum and then some, freshly prepared in a lively open kitchen for all to see. Grab your chopsticks, or your fork, because you won't want to miss one single, delicious bite.

Spiegel Tent

A dining spectacle filled with live music and remarkable entertainers. Cirque Dreams® and Dinner presents a mix of acrobatics, singing, comedy and specialty acts. It's the Big Top meets the Moulin Rouge and performers might climb to the ceiling only to suspend upside down in order to ring a dinner bell, announce the next course or even pour a cocktail.

Spice H20

As the sun sets, Spice H2O transforms into an adults-only, sultry, steamy, Ibiza-inspired beach club. The entertainment is non-stop as the pool floor rises to become a dance floor. A giant screen projects hypnotic visuals under a starry sky. Aerial performers mix dance moves with acrobatic choreography. And you find yourself in the center of it all, delighted that you're old enough not to have a curfew.

Posh

A first of its kind beach club at sea that offers guests of The Villas the sizzle of South Beach and the ritz of the Riviera in an exclusive, adults-only setting. During the day, you can lounge on white-cushioned day beds and in private cabanas by the pool. At night, Posh becomes an open-air nightclub with exclusive bottle service, gaming tables and a DJ sparking the energy for the nonstop party.

Bliss Ultra Lounge

A light mist welcomes you as you enter into Bliss, as if to say, "You've just entered another realm. Welcome to the party." Then suddenly the electrifying aura of this hip, high-energy ultra lounge literally surrounds you. Music videos playing on multiple plasma screens create a magical mood. High-voltage tunes make everyone want to get their groove on, where else, but on the dance floor. And, cozy, custom loungers are the perfect spot to cap off the evening with a cocktail.

Ice Bar

Now this truly is as cool as it gets. Inspired by the original ice hotels in Scandinavia, The Ice Bar is one of only 14 in the world and the only true ice bar at sea. Enter a glistening, frozen, fantasyland where the bar, the walls, the tables, the stools, even the life-size sculptures are made out of ice. Let us help you slip into a faux fur coat to keep you warm in the chilly 17 degrees. Of course, the vodka helps, too.
