Norwegian Epic Family Fun |
Norwegian Cruise Line is taking family fun and sports to the next level on board Norwegian Epic. This "mega-ship" features many firsts for NCL. Among them is a massive, feature-filled Aqua Park, as well as an extreme rock climbing wall, and the first ever repelling wall at sea! Feel free to browse the photos and information provided below for specific details concerning these exciting onboard features: |
| Aqua Park |
 NCL's first-ever Aqua Park includes three water slides of varying thrill factors, including one specifically designed for children that zips straight through the rock-climbing wall; a more adventurous slide twisting and turning down three stories; and 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. Riders are then launched into the vortex of The Epic Plunge where centrifugal forces keep them high on the wall for several turns, ending in an exciting transition into a splashdown lane.
The Aqua Park also includes two main pools with arching water effects which illuminate at night; five whirlpools; a wading pool and a kid's pool in the children's Splash and Play Zone which features whimsical sculptures, water sprays and effects, along with a kiddy slide.

| Sports Deck |
 In an industry first, Norwegian Epic scales new heights with the first ever repelling wall at sea and a 33-foot high extreme rock-climbing wall, accessible on two levels with varying degrees of difficulty, rated according to official U.S. climbing grades.
Expanding its innovative concept of bowling at sea, Norwegian Epic offers the most bowling lanes with a total of six located in two venues: Bliss Ultra Lounge and O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar & Grill. The multi-use sports deck includes a full size basketball court, volleyball, soccer, dodge ball, batting cage, bungee trampoline, rope adventure course and a 24-foot tall enclosed climbing cage called the spider web. Norwegian Epic also features the first squash court at sea, located in the fitness center. |
| Their Largest Kid's Crew Facility and Exclusive Teen Lounge |
 Recess is Norwegian Epic's Kid's Crew facility, that is centrally located on Deck 14 adjacent and easily accessible to the family-friendly staterooms. Two separate areas are specifically designed for kids ages two through nine and tweens, ages 10 through 12. The Kid's area includes a space-themed play area, air hockey table, an interactive light up dance floor; WiiTM gaming areas; an arts and crafts area; along with a state-of-the-art surround sound cinema. The Tween Zone has a futuristic feel that includes multiple WiiTM and PlayStation® areas; along with a private karaoke performance stage which doubles as a cinema.
Entourage is Norwegian Epic's high energy, exclusive teen zone for ages 13 through 17, located at the top of the ship on Deck 16. This funky space includes air hockey; pinball; foosball; a video jukebox; and nine large flat screen televisions, five of which are located around a central video game console featuring PlayStation® 3. In the evening, Entourage transitions into a hip nightclub with a space for dancing or just hanging out on comfy couches.
