(A space ratio less than 33 means that you may find the ship crowded in areas. A space ratio greater than 39 means that there should be plenty of space for each passenger.) When this ship isn't sailing at capacity the space ratio can be as good as 37.9.

The ship last drydock was in Oct 2022.

Most modern cruise ships need to be dry docked for inspection, maintenance and class surveys every five years and once they reach 15 years of age they need to be dry docked at least twice within a five-year period. Dry docks typically last up to 14 days at a cost of up to $2 million per day and involve regular maintenance including hull cleaning, exterior painting of the structure, inspection of pipes, restoration of exterior deck flooring, and installation of enhanced HVAC filter systems


The Norwegian Escape is a larger version of the Breakaway class of ships. It features one more deck of cabins, more public space including a larger more open main pool area. The Escape class also has two venues extending out on the forward part of the wrap around outer promenade deck. NCL also added two hot tubs to the public sun deck on the top forward part of the ship.

Although the Norwegian Breakaway is a new class for Norwegian, many of the staterooms share the same layout and features as the Breakaway class. However the sister ships to Norwegian Escape will have more significant differences to the earlier class. These ships include Norwegian Joy, Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore.

An expanded Haven area includes an outdoor terrace, private restaurant, courtyard with retractable roof, swimming pool, whirlpools, spa treatment rooms, sauna, and private sundeck.

There are 2174 staterooms on board with the largest being the Haven Deluxe Owners Suites.
