Norwegian Escape is a Breakaway Plus-class cruise ship that was the first of her class delivered to Norwegian Cruise Line, featuring larger dimensions and greater gross tonnage than her sister ships Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway. The ship was christened by rapper Pitbull in Miami and has homeported in Miami, New York City, and Port Canaveral while operating itineraries to the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Maritimes. Notable design features include the largest water park in the NCL fleet, an expanded three-deck dining and entertainment complex, and an outdoor promenade called The Waterfront.
