NCL’s new large ship Norwegian Epic is to be deployed in Europe next year.
The 4,200-passenger vessel is to sail in the Mediterranean in summer 2011.
The 153,000 tonne Norwegian Epic will run a seven-day western Mediterranean itinerary from Barcelona between May and October next year.
Ports of call include Florence/Pisa (from Livorno); Rome (from Civitavecchia); Naples; and Palma; along with two days at sea.
Norwegian Epic, which is to be previewed in the UK in July before entering service in the Caribbean, will spend next summer in the Mediterranean as part of its 2011/2012 deployment.
NCL’s CEO Kevin Sheehan said: “By bringing the ship to Europe during her second season, we are combining the excitement of Norwegian Epic with a very popular European itinerary.
“With her world-class entertainment, wide range of accommodation, incredible amenities and plethora of dining options, Norwegian Epic will offer the best cruise experience for a wide range of travellers looking to enjoy Europe in a whole new way.”
The ship will feature studio cabins for single travellers, an ice bar, extensive children’s facilities and entertainment by Blue Man Group.
