Your floating resort

Norwegian Cruises definitely raised the bar when they debuted the Epic in 2010, as she's home to an array of stylish designs, exquisite dining venues, amazing entertainment and an extensive entertainment programme. She also offers a new wave of accommodation from Studios for the solo traveller to private Villas that come with a butler and concierge.

Her 2015 revitalisation made some significant improvements to her already impressive entertainment and activity venues. Why not sail away to her fabulous destinations like the Bahamas, Europe, or even try a transatlantic repositioning cruise? And, of course, you can enjoy total freedom in doing whatever you want, whenever you want, thanks to Norwegian's easy-going cruise style.

Restaurants

O'Sheehan's Bar & Grill

A relaxed Deck 6 stop for classic pub fare, comfort food and the sort of meal that does not require a grand plan. Tuck into fish and chips or a Reuben sandwich, then settle in with a beer or cocktail and catch the game.

It is open 24 hours, so whether lunch ran late or your appetite has ignored the clock, O'Sheehan's is ready when you are.

image

Garden Cafe

Garden Café on Deck 15 is your easy-going, indoor answer to breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is a casual all-you-can-eat buffet with plenty of choice, so you can follow a made-to-order omelette with whatever takes your fancy.

No reservations needed. Pop in when hunger strikes, build your own burger in the afternoon, then go back for seconds. Strictly sensible behaviour is not required.

image

Shanghai's Noodle Bar

Pull up a seat at this lively Asian noodle bar, where fresh dishes are prepared to order in the open kitchen. You can watch the wok work its magic while your meal comes together.

Choose from freshly prepared noodles, wok-fried dishes and authentic soups. The spicy seafood udon noodles are a particularly tempting shout, and it is all included in your cruise fare.

image

Taste Restaurant

Taste on Deck 5 is your relaxed, complimentary spot for multi course dining, whether you fancy breakfast, lunch or dinner. Expect a varied menu of savoury dishes made from scratch, plus an extensive wine list if the occasion calls for it.

There are no fixed dining times or assigned seats, so you can eat when it suits you. Casual slacks are welcome, though shirts and footwear are required.

image

The Manhattan Room Restaurant

Dinner on Deck 6 comes with a little more occasion at The Manhattan Room. This art-deco supper club serves curated modern and classic dishes, made with fresh ingredients, across multiple courses.

Settle in with something from the extensive wine list, then enjoy live music and dancing around the venue’s focal-point dance floor. With no fixed dining time or assigned table, you can dine when it suits you. Shirts and footwear are required, swimwear is not.

image

Moderno Churrascaria

Bring an appetite to this Brazilian-style steakhouse on Deck 7. Start at the salad bar with imported cheeses, olives, cured meats and speciality salads, then let passadores carve slow-roasted picanha and more at your table.

It is rodízio, so keep your marker green for another skewer, or turn it red when you have had your fill. A Caipirinha is a fitting companion. Reservations are strongly recommended.

image

La Cucina

For a proper Italian dinner, head to La Cucina on Deck 14. This rustic yet chic speciality restaurant serves pasta made with fresh ingredients, plus Italian classics including osso buco and spaghetti carbonara.

Leave room for an affogato, vanilla gelato topped with hot espresso. It is the sort of finish that makes saying you are full feel wildly optimistic.

image

Cagney's Steakhouse

When only a proper steak will do, head to this American-style steakhouse on Deck 7. Premium Black Angus Beef and seafood take centre stage, with cuts from rib eye to filet mignon cooked exactly how you like it.

Pair your pick with Béarnaise or chimichurri, then add a classic cocktail or something from the extensive wine list. Finish with the OMG Caramel-Butterscotch Cheesecake, because sensible decisions can wait until tomorrow.

image

Le Bistro

For a French supper with a little theatre, head to Le Bistro on Deck 5. Crisp white linens, attentive service and classic décor set the scene for escargots, coq au vin and perhaps a wine pairing.

It is made for an unhurried date night, or simply treating your appetite to something more continental. Reservations are strongly recommended, so book ahead through MyNCL, the app or onboard.

image

Teppanyaki

Pull up a chair at the lively shared table on Deck 7, where your chef cooks shrimp, steak, chicken, vegetables, seafood and fried rice on a large steel grill right in front of you.

This is dinner with a little theatre, with slicing, twirling and flipping part of the service. Finish with the Matcha Green Tea Cake and cashew nut brittle, then congratulate yourself on booking ahead via the NCL website or app.

image

Wasabi

For sushi with a little theatre, head to Wasabi on Deck 7. This contemporary sushi and yakitori bar serves traditional Japanese bites, from Rainbow and Dragon rolls to nigiri and sashimi.

Go for grilled yakitori with tare dipping sauce, or pair your pick with sake. Do let your server know about any food allergies before ordering, particularly if raw ingredients are not your thing.

image

Shanghai's Restaurant

For noodles, wok-fried favourites and authentic soups, make your way to Shanghai's Restaurant on Deck 6. It is Asian-fusion with a lively open kitchen, so you can watch the action rather than merely wondering how your dinner became so tempting.

Try the Orange Peel Beef or Vegetable Chow Mein with Tofu, then settle in for a meal that brings plenty of flavour to your evening.

image

Sake Bar

Sake Bar

Tucked inside the ship’s Asian restaurant on Deck 7, Sake Bar is a petite perch for premium sake and imported beer. Pair your drink with the Japanese bites nearby, or make a night of it with a hot sake.

There are just eight seats, so this is one for arriving early if you fancy settling in. The ichi…ni…san sake bomb is there when you are feeling suitably celebratory.

image

The Cavern

The Cavern

A proper rock and roll stop on Deck 6, The Cavern Club is styled after Liverpool's legendary music venue. Settle in with a Scotch Sour and catch live music, including a Beatles cover band.

image

Svedka and Inniskillin Ice Bar

Svedka and Inniskillin Ice Bar

The Ice Bar cocktail bar is called Ice Bar for a reason: it has a constant temperature of eight degrees below zero. Because of this frosty temperature, it's able to host ice sculptures and furniture carved out of pure ice.

It has a cosy atmosphere, only host 25 guests at a time and has a maximum visit of 45 minutes per time.

Waves Pool Bar

Fresh from the pool, or simply committed to the art of horizontal lounging, Waves Pool Bar keeps the drinks close at hand. Choose a tropical cocktail or a cold beer, then settle back in the sun.

You will find it on Deck 15, right in the main outdoor pool and Aqua Park area, near the hot tubs and Sun Deck. A very sensible stop between splashes.
