Cool and hip, right down to the funky lighting and flat-screen TV, this exclusive key card access-only category is unlike anything you have ever experienced before. These staterooms have a full-size bed for one guest and a window view of the corridor. Studio guests have private key card access to The Living Room, which is a shared private lounge that boasts a bar, two large TV screens, and comfy seating for hanging out, reading a book, or just enjoying a drink before dinner. Plus, some Studios can connect to each other, so you can stay close while still enjoying your privacy. Awarded "Best Cruise Line for Solo Travelers" by Porthole Magazine in 2012, the Norwegian Epic is the ship of choice that was specifically designed and priced for the solo traveler. (No single supplement required.)
Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or an experienced traveler, here is some advice that’s always a helpful reminder: Try something – anything – new every day of your cruise. Granted, such a suggestion is easy to indulge because you’re likely to explore a different port city every day. However, I find that when it comes to food, we tend to stick to the first onboard dining experience we like rather than explore our way through Norwegian’s diverse culinary selections.
And while you are sure to be satisfied with sumptuous selections from the main dining hall (where you can even select more than one entrée per meal from the menu), remember that with Norwegian’s Freestyle Cruising, it’s so easy to eat when you want, wherever you want. And with so many choices and specialty dining options, it’s sometimes hard to decide which to choose.
Download the Cruise Norwegian mobile app, available on the entire Norwegian fleet! Cruise Norwegian includes an industry-first “Pre-Cruise” mode that allows you to pre-book your onboard activities, dining reservations, shore excursions, entertainment, and view your vacation itinerary and summary all before you ever step foot on a Norwegian ship. Once you get onboard, all of your reservations, bookings, and favorites will be seamlessly transferred to the ship, where you can use the communications feature to chat and message with other guests onboard, view your account and onboard purchases, get a daily schedule of what’s happening on the ship, and so much more! The Cruise Norwegian app is available for download on the App Store and Google Play.

What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance is a plan you purchase that protects you from certain financial risks and losses that can occur while traveling. These losses can be minor, like a delayed suitcase, or significant, like a last-minute trip cancellation or a medical emergency overseas.
In addition to financial protection, the other huge benefit of travel insurance is access to assistance services, wherever you are in the world. Travel and medical experts can arrange medical treatment in an emergency, monitor your care, serve as interpreters, help you replace lost passports, and so much more. Sometimes, they even save travelers' lives.
