The Pier // Cruise Ships // Norwegian Epic
Norwegian Epic is the largest ship ever constructed in STX Europe’s French shipyard, and sails year round in the Caribbean. Its profile is not very handsome, because several decks above the navigation bridge make it really look top heavy, but the two side-by-side funnels bring some semblance of balance. The pool deck has an Aqua Park, with three major water slides and a large rock-climbing wall.
