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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
