Dining Experience

Norwegian pioneered Freestyle Dining — no fixed times, no assigned tables. Choose from up to 30 dining options including complimentary O'Sheehan's pub, The Local bar and grill, and specialty restaurants like Cagney's Steakhouse, Le Bistro French, and Ocean Blue seafood.

Entertainment & Activities

Norwegian brings Broadway to sea with full-length shows, along with dueling pianos, comedy clubs, and live music venues. Ships feature multi-story go-kart tracks (Prima Class), Galaxy Pavilion VR experiences, and the Aqua Park waterslides. With 20 decks to explore, there's always something new to discover.

Staterooms & Suites

From studio cabins designed for solo travelers to The Haven luxury suites with butler service, Norwegian offers something for everyone. The Haven is a ship-within-a-ship concept with private pool, restaurant, and lounge exclusively for suite guests. Norwegian Escape accommodates up to 4,266 guests.

Good to Know

This large ship offers plenty of space to explore. Download the cruise line's app before boarding for easy navigation and reservations. Consider a drink package or specialty dining package if you plan to dine outside the complimentary venues regularly.

"Our experience on Norwegian Escape was absolutely incredible. The ship is beautiful and well-maintained, and the ports of call were amazing. We booked all our excursions through Vacation Booker and saved a fortune compared to the cruise line prices."

"This was our third cruise on Norwegian Escape and it never disappoints. The staff is wonderful and the itinerary was perfect. We used Vacation Booker for a private snorkeling tour that was the highlight of the entire trip."
