Norwegian Epic Bookings Break NCL
Records |
|
Norwegian Cruise Line’s largest vessel, the Norwegian
Epic (pictured), set to debut next year, broke company records in
terms of bookings during the first week that the ship’s itineraries
went on sale to the public (beginning May 21), according to NCL. All
categories of staterooms were in demand, from the new studios for
the value-conscious traveler to luxury villas, penthouses and
owner’s suites. Prices start at $699 per person, double. However,
based on the demand, price increases are taking effect on some of
the more popular sailings, NCL said.
Members of Norwegian’s past guest program, Latitudes, can take
advantage of a Norwegian Epic promotional offer through Aug. 31,
which includes a stateroom upgrade of up to three categories,
additional discounts on the cruise fare of up to $100 per stateroom,
and up to $500 in onboard credit for suites and villas. Onboard
credit and savings offers are based on cruise length and exclude
suites. The onboard credit amount for suite bookings is per
stateroom and will be applied to the first and second guests in the
stateroom.
The Norwegian Epic is scheduled to enter service in late May 2010
and will take part in inaugural events before beginning its Eastern
and Western Caribbean sailings from its year-round homeport of
Miami. The first Eastern Caribbean sailing from Miami is scheduled
for July 17, 2010, and the ship’s alternating Eastern and Western
Caribbean itineraries will be available through April 2011. The
Norwegian Epic’s Eastern Caribbean itinerary includes calls in
Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and
Nassau, Bahamas. The ship’s Western Caribbean itinerary includes
calls in Costa Maya, Mexico; Roatán, Bay Islands, Honduras; and
Cozumel, Mexico. |
