Norwegian Cruise Line plans largest waterpark at sea
A ship in Norwegian Cruise Line’s fleet will boast the largest waterpark at sea when it launches later this year, with the company unveiling a raft of leisure facilities on board.
The investment comes as the cruise market continues to experience rapid growth and the broadening of its customer profile.
The 4,200-passenger ship – Norwegian Escape – with interior design by SMC Design and Tillberg Design, will feature an Aqua Racer – a tandem slide where competitors race side-by-side on tubes; Free Fall – side-by-side slides where passengers freefall into a loop as the floor drops away beneath them; a dedicated Kids’ Aqua Park; two pools; and four spa pools.
In addition, the ship will house a rope course covering three storeys and a nine-hole miniature golf course themed on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Nickelodeon characters such as Spongebob SquarePants will also be on board Norwegian Escape to greet guests.
The ship joins the fleet in October 2015 and will home-port in Miami, offering Eastern Caribbean cruises. It will be Norwegians fifth ship in the Caribbean. @cruisenorwegian
