Meet Norwegian Cruise Line's Newest Ship, Escape

Norwegian's newest and largest vessel, Escape,  is so full of action and entertainment you'll be forgiven if you forget that you're at sea instead of on land. The ship has enough activities to fill every hour of the day, including the largest waterpark at sea and a ropes course 20-decks above the water; a "snow" room to chill out in and a rock "grotto" that turns into an outdoor disco come evening; and two Broadway shows, After Midnight and Million Dollar Quartet, indoors. Honestly, there's more to do on this 165,000-ton ship than in many small cities. And when you're ready to rest (or at least relax), there are 21 pools and the massive Mandara spa

As part of the ropes course, guests can "walk the plank" 172 feet above sea level.

The state-of-the-art Mandara Spa on the Escape

Haven is a luxurious ship-within-a-ship, featuring this private restaurant.

Soothing color palettes and streamlined decor are a hallmark of the staterooms on the Escape, including  this balcony cabin.

Escape's luxe suites-only area is called Haven and it's a "ship-within-a-ship" centering around this three-story covered courtyard (pictured). The Haven features an exclusive restaurant, private pool and lounge just for suite guests.

Guests in the 55 plush suites of "The Haven" receive complimentary butler and concierge service. Each suite features an oversized balcony (getting bigger as the price tag does).

Iron chef Jose Garces has two exclusive dining spots on Escape—his very first at sea. Pictured is the Latin-influenced Bayamo.

Garces second restaurant is a classic Spanish tapas bar. Both restaurants carry an additional charge.

Also exclusive to Escape, the first 5 O'Clock Somewhere bar at sea, part of Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville

For some authentic Miami flavor, the city's oldest bar, Tobacco Road, has been recreated on the Escape.

One of the three main dining rooms that are part of the complimentary dining on board Escape. It features live music at dinner.

Part of the family areas onboard the Escape, the Guppies nursery is for babies and toddlers age 6 months to 3 years.

In the something-for-everyone category, there's a complimentary kids program, Splash Academy, for ages 4 to 12, and teens have their own parents-free lounge, Entourage.
