Norwegian to debut Beatles venue

Norwegian Cruise Lines will introduce a Beatles ‘Cavern Club’ to Norwegian Epic when the vessel starts year-round sailings from Barcelona next year.

The 4,100-passenger ship will also feature Broadway musicals Burn The Floor and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

“We are excited to bring Norwegian Epic to Europe year-round and want to provide our guests with even more exciting entertainment options on the ship that first elevated the onboard entertainment experience,” said Drew Madsen, Norwegian Cruise Line president and chief operating officer.

The ship will start a year round programme from Barcelona on 30 April, 2015 in a push to capture the European market.

The Beatles musical experience is being debuted through a partnership with Liverpool’s Cavern Club, which is known as one of the first stages to host the Fab Four.

The Cavern Club venue on Norwegian Epic will recreate the original, launching on 11 October 2015.

“These new world-class entertainment offerings, along with Norwegian Epic’s innovative accommodation and plethora of dining options, are the perfect combination for the European cruise market and give guests the freedom and flexibility to customise their vacation,” Mr Madsen added.

If not a Beatles experience, what would your dream onboard entertainment be?
