A vessel in Norwegian Cruise Line’s fleet is set to boast the largest waterpark at sea, with the company unveiling an exciting raft of leisure facilities for the upcoming liner.

The 4,200-passenger ship – Norwegian Escape – will feature Aqua Racer – a tandem slide where competitors can race side-by-side on tubes; Free Fall – a side-by-side set of slides where passengers free fall into a loop as the floor drops underneath them; a dedicated Kids’ Aqua Park; two pools; and four spa pools.

In addition, the ship will house a rope course covering three storeys and a nine-hole miniature golf course themed on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Nickelodeon characters such as Spongebob SquarePants will also be on the ship to greet guests.

When the ship joins the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet in October 2015, Norwegian Escape will homeport in Miami year-round and will offer seven-night Eastern Caribbean sailings from the US port from 14 November. The ship deployments will see four other ships sail to the Caribbean: Norwegian Star cruising from Tampa; Norwegian Dawn from New Orleans; Norwegian Jade from Houston and Norwegian Spirit from Port Canaveral.
