Continuing its history of innovation, NCL announced a new concept to make cruising more attractive to solo travellers on the company’s largest and most exciting Freestyle Cruising ship to date, Norwegian Epic, launching this July.
Norwegian Epic’s Studios are the first staterooms designed and priced for single occupancy, starting from £599 on the ship’s seven-day alternating Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. These specially designed and priced Studio staterooms available on all of Norwegian Epic’s sailings – with no single supplement – go on sale on 18 January 2010.
“Historically, the cruise industry has not embraced the large number of people who enjoy travelling solo,” said Kevin Sheehan, NCL’s chief executive officer. “We are breaking the mold of traditional cruising once again by offering a stateroom designed and priced specifically for solo travellers, making cruising a more attractive travel option. We invite all solo travellers, whether they are first-time cruisers or cruising veterans, to sail on our incredible new Freestyle Cruising ship, Norwegian Epic.”
The Studios on Norwegian Epic are a private key-card access complex on two decks consisting of 128 staterooms and the Studio Lounge. This unique and thoughtfully designed concept provides comfort and convenience for the solo traveller.
Each Studio stateroom, at approximately 100 square feet of living space, features a contemporary design with a full-size bed and separate areas for the bathroom, sink and shower. In addition, guests in the Studios have private access to the exclusive Studio Lounge. Here, guests can grab a cup of coffee in the morning, meet up with fellow cruisers and plan their day or relax with a drink in the evening. Since many of the Studio staterooms are connecting, there is also the opportunity for friends to travel together while giving each their own private space.
