In the final reveal of the innovations on Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Cruise Line announced that the featured entertainers aboard the ship will include a troupe of Blue Man Group.
NCL is designing many aspects of Norwegian Epic to appeal to demographics that do not now necessarily think about taking a cruise.
Other unusual entertainment will include Cirque Dreams and Dinner, an unusual combination of specialty acrobatic-type acts in a dinner theater designed to look somewhat like a circus big top. The ship will also boast a comedy club that showcases the talents of a troupe from Second City, which appears in the main theaters on other NCL ships.
Norwegian Epic enters service on July 17, 2010. The order has been pared down to be a single ship, so you will see things aboard Norwegian Epic you won't see anywhere else.
The video below of the announcement yesterday begins with a brief recap of Norwegian Epic's nightlife and how Freestyle Cruising has evolved, and then examines the varied and unusual entertainment Norwegian Epic will have.
