Today, we are breaking down for you all the things to do, see, taste, and experience on board the Norwegian Escape. So, come, let's set sail together. Let's find out what's on deck.

Outdoor Activities

Aqua Park & Kid's Aqua Park

Put your swimsuit on, lotion up, and get ready. The Aqua Park is a favorite feature onboard the Norwegian Escape. Why is it a favorite? Well, the majority of cruise ships nowadays already have an outdoor pool where guests can catch some rays and hot tubs for guests to warm up on cool evenings, but how many have a water park? Featuring four water slides, the Aqua Park is a dream for those who love splashing around and zooming down water slides. After racing down the slides with friends, order a frozen drink to enjoy pool side. There are always activities happening around the pool for guests to participate in. Or, bring a book and find a quiet location to read as the ship cuts through ocean waters. You can easily spend the entire day lounging by the pool and enjoying the activities at Aqua Park.

If Aqua Park seems too intense for little kids, we know a place that they will love. Kid's Aqua Park is a smaller, but just as fun, water park for young kiddos who also want to splash in the water and fly down slides.

Sports Complex

In addition to the pool, hot tubs, and water park, there are plenty of other activities for those who don't want to get wet. If you're not in the mood to swim, head over to the Sports Complex on deck. There are a plethora of activities available, including a mini golf course, a basketball court, and a three-story ropes course for those brave enough to zip line over the ocean. Ropes courses are well-known activities on board many Norwegian cruise ships. However, the ropes course on the Norwegian Escape surpasses them all. This Norwegian new ship has the largest. It is the largest and therefore, the activity that the adrenaline-junkies won't want to miss.

Shopping & Entertainment

Boutiques can be found all over the Norwegian Escape. Those wishing to shop until they drop will be pleased. Carolina Herrera, known for dressing First Ladies in stunning attire, has a boutique on the ship. Lacoste, the Beauty Shop, Sandbar, the Tides, the Time Zone, and Tradewinds are also ships that are located on deck. For all of your pool and beach needs, visit the Marketplace to find the best deals for your tropical excursions. And for those who want some bling-bling, The Jewel Box offers sparkling stones and diamonds for travelers wanting something extra special to remember their trip.

There are complimentary live performances offered on the Norwegian Escape cruise ship. Some of which include musical concerts, comedic performances, and magicians that the whole family will enjoy. For those itching to experience Broadway, you'll love the music and dancing in After Midnight. For those who love both wine and comedy, Wine Lovers the Musical will be the place for you. At Wine Lovers the Musical, guests are invited to taste wines, while enjoying lunch and a musical comedy. Some entertainment options are not complimentary, so be sure to do your research ahead of time and snag a seat for all of your favorite must-see performances.

For Kids & Teens

Entourage is the place where the teenagers you are traveling with will love to hang out. No parents are allowed in this fun oasis that has movies, music, dance parties, and video games. Entourage is the ideal place for teens to meet people their age, listen to their favorite pop music, and watch movies. And another great place for kids to make friends? The Video Arcade. The Video Arcade has loads of video games to choose from – everything from pinball to PAC-MAN.

The Norwegian Escape offers the very first nursery aboard a Norwegian Cruise Line ship. Parents who want some alone time will be grateful for this nursery. Guppies Nursery has a quiet room for babies to rest and catch up on sleep. There is also an activity room for kids to play games. Little ones 2 and under are invited to come and play (or sleep) at Guppies Nursery, while parents get some rest of their own. The staff is attentive and dedicated to keeping your children safe and happy while you are off relaxing at the Spa, by the pool, and getting a bite for lunch.
