Norwegian Cruise Line and the Southern Daily Echo are giving you and a guest the chance to win a glamourous lunch on board Norwegian Cruise Line’s latest and greatest ship, Norwegian Epic, when she comes into port on 22 June.

You will be among the first to step foot onboard Norwegian Epic to have a sneak peak around the new features, which includes the first true Ice Bar at sea and an expansive aqua park.

We have ten pairs of tickets to the event to be won – eight through the Daily Echo and another two pairs through our Twitter page at twitter.com/dailyecho. All you have to do is answer the simple questions in the paper or the ones that will be appearing on our Twitter feed and you are in with a chance of a fabulous visit to the fantastic Norwegian Epic.

Norwegian Epic has it’s very own Spiegel Tent - it’s the only “big top” at sea, offering a one of a kind dining experience with acrobats, singing, comedy and speciality acts entertaining guests as they sit ringside enjoying their supper.

The water park on board has three exciting slides, one of which, the Epic Plunge, is first inner tubing bowl slide at sea, where guests are held to the wall by the centrifugal force. But if you don’t want to get your hair wet, there’s a 33-foot extreme rock climbing and abseiling wall right beside it.

When you’re on board you might even have the chance to bump into a celebrity. Madonna, Elvis and Tina Turner will be onboard – well, performers from Las Vegas tribute act Legends in Concert, but we dare you to spot the difference. You might also see Spongebob Squarepants and Dora the Explorer, as Nickelodeon will be providing the children’s entertainment onboard, or the Blue Man Group warming up for their on board performances that evening.

When on board we’ll take you around the whole ship to show you all the new facilities, and also treat you to a fabulous lunch in one of the fantastic restaurants.

Closing date for entries is Midday Saturday June 12. Please include your contact details, address and a telephone number with your entry.
