Description

The first ship in the Breakaway-plus evolution, Norwegian Escape stands out from the first two ships in the series with a larger width and an extra deck and a half. It is the perfect ship for Norwegian Cruise Line's freestyle experience. This successful platform has a functional hotel distribution and has at its guests' disposal a wonderful outdoor walk to deck 8 which overlooks several rooms. It is equipped with multiple dining options as per NCL tradition and also with single cabins. Ideal for enjoying the sea in warm climates.

From the moment you step into your cabin on the Norwegian Escape, comfort is unmistakable. The staterooms are spacious, well-organized, and feature thoughtful details like ample storage, soft lighting, and ultra-comfortable beds—perfect for resting between adventures. But what truly stands out on this cruise is the food. The culinary experience is simply exceptional. Beyond the included dining options, the specialty restaurants elevate the journey. Bayamo delights with refined seafood dishes, Cagney’s Steakhouse impresses with expertly grilled meats, and Los Lobos enchants with bold Latin flavors. The buffet is always fresh, varied, and inviting. Thanks to freestyle dining, you can eat when and where you like, making the experience even more relaxed and enjoyable. Whether you're a dedicated foodie or simply appreciate great cuisine, the Norwegian Escape turns every meal into a memorable highlight.
