Dominik and Nicolas

Why venture far away when good things are so close? German TV favorites Dominik Stuckmann and Nicolas Puschmann, known from various shows and dating formats, sailed the Mediterranean with friends and family aboard Norwegian Escape in late April and experienced the ultimate freedom at sea on board Norwegian Cruise Line for themselves.

Civitavecchia. 1 pm. 25°C and pure sunshine. That's how every cruise should start, isn't it? After a short flight to Rome and a smooth check-in at the terminal, the best time of the year can finally begin for our two cruise newcomers. A first lunch with the best comfort food at O'Sheehan's is a must, of course, before exploring Norwegian Escape in detail. From the relaxed atmosphere on The Waterfront to a refreshing ice cream in the Garden Café and the exclusive Vibe Beach Club, there are so many new things to discover on day one that time flies by before the first sail away. With a cocktail in hand, it's ‘anchors away’, the ship's horn sounds and Norwegian Escape sets sail for the high seas!
