NORWEGIAN EPIC
"I have tried
many times to
call you. I wanted to tell you personally how much
I appreciate my Norwegian Epic! It completely beat
any expectation I might of had. You have my most sincere
thanks and appreciation. You will hear from me
shortly as I need to order a display case. Very
best regards, Matthew L"
The Norwegian Epic
surpasses the Jewel-class as NCL's largest vessel by
almost 60,000 GT. Norwegian Epic represents
the "third generation" of Freestyle cruising vessels
and its size allows NCL to have a ship that is in
the "mega-class" of their competitors at Royal
Caribbean International and Carnival Cruise Lines.
The ship has 4,100 passenger berths, with all
outside cabins having balconies. The Epic introduced
100 square foot interior studio cabins for solo
passengers, including a shared "living room" for
socializing.
Norwegian Epic's
Aqua Park' has the only tube and bowl water slide at
sea. The ship also has a rappelling wall and two
three-lane bowling alleys. It also has a 17 °F (−8
°C) Ice Bar where the drinks are served in ice
glasses and patrons wear parkas.
The F3-class ship
was built by STX Europe at the Chantiers de
l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France.
On 13 April 2010
NCL CEO Kevin Sheehan along with Macy's, Inc CEO
Terry J. Lundgren and NBC CEO Jeff Zucker announced
that the Macy's 34th Annual 4 July Fireworks would
take place on the Norwegian Epic (The fireworks were
off on another Ship) The NBC One-Hour Telecast of
the Event was broadcast from the Norwegian Epic.
This
primarily wood Norwegian Epic model features:
-
Scratch-built from official plans
-
Pank-on-frame hull.
This construction method gives accurate hulls, as
artisans create the frame of the hull exactly like
in drawings. The solid hull method, on the other
hand, employs most guesswork on the degree of
curvature.
- Windows and portholes are cutouts (not black decals),
uniform, and on straight lines. We are not shy
to show the model in large photos. Nothing to hide!
