About Norwegian Escape
Norwegian Escape launched in 2015 as the first Breakaway-Plus class ship. At 164,600 gross tons, Escape introduced many features that defined the class, including the largest ropes course at sea and multiple new dining concepts.
The ship features the Aqua Park with five multi-story waterslides, The Waterfront outdoor promenade, and diverse entertainment including Escape the Big Top cirque show. Norwegian's Freestyle Dining gives guests freedom to dine across 28 restaurants.
Norwegian Escape appeals to active cruisers and families who want variety and freedom. Based in Miami, the ship offers Caribbean itineraries year-round with visits to NCL's private island Great Stirrup Cay.

Every Number Matched
The base fare, taxes, and onboard credit lined up perfectly. No fine print, no surprises. That's why I trusted them.
James
Switching From Costco Paid Off
We almost booked with Costco for Royal Caribbean. They offered a small rebate card, but Zipsea added $400 in OBC...
Drew
Incredible perks with Zipsea!
..My party and I can actually utilize the credit for our excursions. What a seamless experience.
Jamie
The Real Deal!
Great OBC offers and comparable price to other sites. Had no issues with the booking or getting the OBC credited to my account. Customer service has been very responsive to my questions and needs.
Rebecca
Exemplary Service
Zipsea was able to give me onboard credit that Celebrity or other agents couldn't match. When the price dropped, I texted Mario and within 5 minutes he repriced my booking and saved me almost $1000.
Jean
Helpful contact with easy booking process

Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Waterfront on Norwegian Escape?
The Waterfront is a quarter-mile outdoor promenade with al fresco dining, bars, and ocean views. This oceanfront boardwalk lets guests dine outside while watching the sunset.
What waterslides are on Norwegian Escape?
The Aqua Park features five waterslides including two tandem slides where riders race side-by-side, free-fall slides, and tube slides—all spanning multiple decks.
Where does Norwegian Escape sail?
Norwegian Escape is based in Miami year-round, sailing Caribbean itineraries to destinations including Great Stirrup Cay (NCL's private island), Cozumel, Costa Maya, and more.
What is onboard credit (OBC)?
Onboard credit is ship money you can use during your cruise—like a prepaid gift card. Spend it on drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, spa treatments, excursions, or onboard shopping.
How does Zipsea give me more onboard credit than others?
Travel agents earn commission on every booking, and most keep it. We don't—we pass back the maximum onboard credit the cruise line allows, every time.
Do I pay more to book with Zipsea?
No. You pay the same published fare you'd see on the cruise line's website.
How much onboard credit will I actually get?
It depends on your fare and the cruise line's rules. As a ballpark, shorter cruises usually allow $50–$100 and longer cruises $150–$500+. When you search a sailing, we show you the exact amount.
