Norwegian Cruise Line sends the Norwegian Epic to Rome (Civitavecchia) and docks the new Norwegian Escape at the home port of Barcelona, which will be the one that sails from there in its summer season in Europe 2024.
On May 5, 2024, the Norwegian Escape arrived at its seasonal homeport before embarking on an 11-day voyage through Italy, France and the Greek Islands that will end in Venice (Trieste), Italy.
The ship will return to Barcelona on May 26, 2024, and will regularly travel on eight- to ten-day round-trip voyages around the Western Mediterranean, stopping at a port each day.
Built in 2015 and renovated in 2022, the Norwegian Escape can accommodate 4,218 guests at double occupancy and will offer more new experiences to guests compared to the Norwegian Epic.
This cruise offers a total of 19 different dining options, including Bayamo by Ocean Blue, a restaurant specializing in fresh seafood, Food Republic, featuring Asian and Latin American cuisine, and American Diner, a specialty burger joint.
It also includes 19 bars and lounges, among which stand out The District Brew House, with several types of craft beer, Vibe Beach Club, an adults-only terrace, and Sugarcane Mojito Bar, where guests can choose from a variety of mojitos.
From an activities and entertainment standpoint, guests can enjoy the Aqua Racer free-fall slides, climbing the ship's own Ropes Course, among other options.
“For more than a decade, the Norwegian Epic has been the most desired choice for our Spanish guests sailing on Western Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona,” explains Sonia López Corrales, Senior Business Development Manager Spain and Portugal at Norwegian Cruise Line.
“While the Norwegian Escape has already made a lasting impression on the hearts of Spaniards, its arrival at its home port marks a new and exciting chapter. With its extensive range of options, the Norwegian Escape is ready to offer Spanish guests an unparalleled vacation experience”.
“Because of the popularity of land-based resorts, many travelers are unaware of the great value and wide range of cruise experiences available. Unlike traditional land-based vacations, cruising allows guests to explore a new destination almost every day while enjoying a variety of onboard activities and amenities,” said Kevin Bubolz, Vice President and General Manager for Continental Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at Norwegian Cruise Line.
In addition to the Norwegian Escape, four more NCL ships will set sail from Barcelona this summer.
