Europe- and Hawai’i-bound cruisers can expect two refreshed Norwegian Cruise Line ships with Norwegian Epic and Pride of America revealing revamped accommodation and amenities by the upcoming 2025 Northern Hemisphere summer season.
Norwegian Epic will sail a variety of nine, 10 and 11-day cruises from Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy to ports of call in the Mediterranean from 8 May 2025, while the revamped Pride of America will return to Honolulu on 31 May, sailing on the seven-day inter-island itinerary.
After Norwegian Epic completes a three-week dry dock, the top deck will feature a refreshed Kids’ Aqua Park while the new, adults-only Vibes Beach Club replaces Posh Beach Club and includes an extra hot tub plus more private cabanas and lounge chairs to soak up the Mediterranean sun.
The dry dock plans also include the addition of eight new staterooms – a combination of balconies and oceanviews.
From 3–31 May, 2025, Pride of America will receive several upgrades, including a new Starbucks location and the addition of pickleball within the existing sports court.
Pride of America will also add 12 new club balcony suites and three inside staterooms on deck 12.
Other changes include the relocation of Splash Academy, NCL’s youth club for ages three to 12 and Entourage, the teen club, to deck 6 and the addition of a Library and Card room, which was once the Shuffles Card Room.
NCL President David J. Herrera said: “By listening to guests’ feedback, we are excited to provide them with more to do on board starting this summer as Norwegian Epic sets sail for Europe and Pride of America continues to offer the world’s only seven-day interisland Hawai’i voyages departing from Honolulu 52 weeks out of the year.“
