With cruise travel gaining popularity in Taiwan, Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest and largest ship—the Norwegian Epic—has this year introduced the only “Romantic Western Mediterranean 11-Day” package tailored for Taiwanese travelers. Paired with new airline tickets, the itinerary begins in Barcelona, Spain, followed by an 8-day, 7-night cruise. The tour is scheduled to depart on August 10th, and registration is now open.

The ship will make stops in Barcelona, Spain; Naples and Rome’s outskirts as well as Florence in Italy; and Nice and Provence in France. In addition to arranging land tours at these destinations, passengers can enjoy dinner while watching spectacular acrobatic performances under the sea’s only circus tent. They can also savor premium steaks and seafood at Cagney's Steakhouse, a fine-dining steakhouse with roots in 1930s America. Moreover, they can experience an Arctic-like atmosphere at SVEDKA Ice Bar—the only ice bar at sea, maintained at approximately 3.5°C.

Onboard entertainment includes a massive four-story water slide, a swirl pool, adult pools, hot tubs, and children’s pools in the water park; a top-tier spa center; as well as activities designed specifically for children and teens, such as Wii™ games, table hockey, arts and crafts, movie screenings, and karaoke. Other highlights include performances by Blue Man Group, Cirque Dreams, The Second City Comedy Troupe, Broadway-style musicals, and celebrity impersonation shows.
The price for an oceanview balcony cabin is NT$157,900 per person, excluding airport taxes, war risk insurance, and fuel surcharges. For more details about the itinerary, please contact contracted travel agencies of Star Cruises Taiwan: Dateng, Liangyou, Xinjin, Yongye, and Shangshun.
