Norwegian Epic: 9 Night Transatlantic Cruise from Lisbon Starting at €627 pp for a Suite (€504 pp for a Balcony Cabin)

Norwegian Epic

Norwegian Cruise Line‘s Norwegian Epic is New York bound at the beginning of December 2022. Departing from Lisbon with stops at the Azores and Bermudas, you can book a Suite for as little as £551 (~€643). If you’re content with a little less luxury, balcony cabins start at £443 (~€517) while the inside cabin is available at £413 (~€482). The fare includes taxes, but not tips and gratuity.

Info

While Norwegian Cruise Lines does not require any vaccination or testing to start the cruise, the United States requires foreign travellers to be fully vaccinated to enter the country.

The price includes access to most onboard amenities (except spa treatments), three daily meals in a la carte or buffet restaurants and soft drinks.

By paying an additional £200 (~€233) per person, Suite passengers can access to perks like unlimited internet and free alcoholic beverages during the entire cruise.

The Route

This is the cruise’s itinerary:

  • December 7: Lisbon (departs at 16:00)
  • December 8: At sea
  • December 9: Ponta Delgada, Azores (6 hours)
  • December 10-13: At sea
  • December 14: King’s Wharf, Bermudas (6 hours)
  • December 15: At sea
  • December 16: New York (arrives 6:00)

The Ship

The Norwegian Epic was launched in July 2009 and refurbished in 2020. She features the usual cruise ship variety of restaurants, spas, three swimming pools and a theater with award-winning shows. You can even find unusual features like a bowling alley, a shopping mall and a 60 meter waterslide. The 330-meter-long vessel can host as much as 4,100 passengers, taken care of by 1,700 crew members. Official onboard language is English, the currency is US-Dollar.

While Norwegian offers a variety of different suites, only the MX Mini Suites are that remarkably cheap for this cruise.

Transport

This offer does not include any transport to Lisbon or from New York back to Europe. Since a bunch of low-cost carriers serves the Portuguese capital, you can expect to find tickets for around €100 from most European airports. Since the ship won’t wait for you if your flight is delayed, we recommend arriving in Lisbon the day before the cruise starts.

Oneway flights from New York back to the old world are more expensive. Prices start at approx. €400 for flights on December 16, when the ship arrives in America. Spending some additional nights in New York makes sense, but increases the price even further.
