"We are breaking the mold of traditional cruising once again by offering a stateroom designed and priced specifically for solo travelers, making cruising a more attractive travel option. nbsp;We invite all solo travelers - whether they are first-time cruisers or cruising veterans -- to sail on our incredible new Freestyle Cruising ship, Norwegian Epic." br /br /The Studios on Norwegian Epic are a private key-card access complex on two decks consisting of 128 staterooms and the Studio Lounge.nbsp; This unique and thoughtfully designed concept provides comfort and convenience for the solo traveler.nbsp; Each Studio stateroom, at approximately 100 square feet of living space, features a contemporary design with a full-size bed and separate areas for the bathroom, sink and shower.nbsp; In addition, guests in the Studios have private access to the exclusive Studio Lounge.nbsp; Here, guests can grab a cup of coffee in the morning, meet up with fellow cruisers and plan their day or relax with a drink in the evening.nbsp; Since many of the Studio staterooms are connecting, there is also the opportunity for friends to travel together while giving each their own private space. br /br /div class="separator" style="clear: both;
