NCL's EPIC
Norwegian Cruise Line announced that the construction of its largest and most innovative Freestyle Cruising ship, Norwegian Epic,
reached another milestone with the fitting of its two huge funnels at STX Europe in Saint-Nazaire, France. The massive block consisted of three parts: the two funnels separated by a HVAC station. It weighed 45 tons, and measured approximately 46 feet high, 65 feet long and 23 feet wide, roughly the size of a large yacht. This photo shows the funnel arriving in the port. Can’t you imagine seeing that thing rolling down the road!
The ship’s float out and transfer to the outfitting dock is currently planned for July 11, 2009, and the 153,000-gross ton, 4,200-passenger ship is scheduled for delivery at the end of May 2010. For more information and renderings, visit cruiseepic.com.
